...cast is excellent right from the top, especially Ford as the ideal President, whose love for his family, integrity and courage (he earned a medal of honor in Vietnam) make him the perfect man to lead the free world--and that's before he reveals his ability to pack a powerful punch. On the ground, Glenn Close plays a cool and collected V.P. who has to deal not only with the crisis in the air but also with a power struggle with a Secretary of Defense who seems to have a problem with not being in control himself.

...same belief that led the producers of Dave to cast a herd of Washington newsies in that political satire, including NPR's Nina Totenberg, journalist-historian Richard Reeves and the McLaughlin Group. And TV buffs will remember Walter Cronkite's walk-on at the end of a Mary Tyler Moore Show episode more than two decades ago. With Contact, however, the journalistic community's sensitivity to the blurring of the lines between news and entertainment has caused some sober second thoughts. CNN president Tom Johnson said last week that in the future such appearances will probably be banned, bringing...
