The five-minute film ends with a weary Carter returning to the White House at dusk to work on into the night. Finally, a lonely light burns in the President's study, and the announcer says, "He's not finished yet." What the viewer is supposed to wonder, of course, is whether Reagan, who will be 70 in February, could handle the load...
