...politician who catches the national eye. The line between idealism and opportunism is ever thin as paper. But in Willie's relentless, utterly insatiable appetites there is something beyond the powers of political commentary or literary criticism to convey. It is much more than a conventional ambition, a presidential dream. Lots of men entertain that fantasy. What drives him is an unacknowledged anarchy of the soul. There is no reason why Willie must possess aristocratic Anne Stanton (Kate Winslet), daughter of the state's last great Governor and the woman Burden has impotently loved his entire life.

It'd be great if more people recognized that what insurance companies do is really underwrite the great American Dream. The industry will be just fine. But much better preparedness and a much better way of dealing with these catastrophic events would go a huge way toward not just improving the image of the industry but making people feel like they are ready when these events occur...
