...knapsacks as soon as the copies were released at the White House Press Office on Thursday morning. Meanwhile, Correspondents Barrett Seaman and David Beckwith prepared to analyze the 288-page report as the Tower commission press conference unfolded. National Political Correspondent Laurence Barrett tracked Nancy Reagan's conflict with Donald Regan. Correspondents Hays Gorey and Michael Duffy scoured Congress for reactions. Pentagon Correspondent Bruce van Voorst investigated CIA involvement. And Correspondents Alessandra Stanley and Ricardo Chavira concentrated on Lieut. Colonel Oliver North and the contra connection. "With all the details required for my stories," says Church from his New York...

...good time along the way. Especially notable are David Schrag's portrayal of Hugo, the snide and arrogant eldest son; Bill Salloway as the confused but moral police inspector who tries to sort out the Charles family; and Donal Logue as the "Buddhist skinhead" and youngest son. Donald Carleton plays the wise-cracking butler, and despite his occasionally stilted delivery he often brings down the house because Idle has given him the best lines...
