...Democrats had props of their own. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle and House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt borrowed a new Lexus sedan from a local dealer and parked it outside the Capitol, near a dented muffler. Bush gives millionaires "a $46,000 tax cut, more than enough to pay for this Lexus," Daschle said. "But if you're a typical working person, you get $227. And that's enough to buy this muffler."

Just as you get interested in one, Stephen Gaghan's script, inspired by a British mini-series, jerks you away to another...
...sultry Viennese actress was more than just a pretty face: in the U.S. in 1942, she co-patented technology inspired by the first of her six husbands, an arms dealer who sold to the Nazis, that prevented radio signals from being jammed. The patent's ideas foreshadowed secure cellular communications...
