Epton, a Jewish millionaire and successful lawyer, is an unlikely hero for Chicago's ethnic neighborhoods. He is certainly no racist, himself, and once marched in Memphis in memory of the late Martin Luther King Jr. But his newest ads have played on the underlying theme of the election with the tag line: EPTON-BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

No tears, then, when O'Malley bombs half the camp out of existence while escaping. Or, as old man Tozer says after they find him in China. "There...
