Like Buckley's rag, er, magazine. Come to think of it, Buckley's for legalizing grass, usually under the euphemism, de-criminalization. This came after he tried a couple of joints in his boat outside the six-mile U.S. territorial waters limit a few years ago. (I wonder what a stoned William Buckley sounds like, or what words he is able to pronounce.) Could Buckley be in on the plot? But Buckley's brother was a Republican Senator from the same state at the same time as noted liberal-Republican-visibly-Jewish-Zionist Jacob Javits. And Javits was friends with...
...incident would cause only low-level comment if Billy Carter were seldom seen, like Sam Houston Johnson, ne'er-do-well brother of Lyndon, or Donald Nixon, fumbling recipient of the Hughes loan back in 1956. But Billy has been elevated to special status by none other than his brother Jimmy ("a lot of substance to Billy").

There are, of course, bright spots. Enter Tom Prewitt, making like Andy Hardy in pursuit of any young creature in a chastity belt. As Nicholas, one of two ne'er-do-well brothers intent on complicating the plot, Prewitt cuts through the lethargy of the first scenes with an energetic and mischievious performance. Michael Bierer as the blustering, bureaucratic mayor Hebble Tyson leans toward exaggeration in comparison with other characters, but his haughty huffing and sorrowful snorting lend a badly needed comic touch to scenes which would otherwise fall flat...
