...REST OF the cast, equally convincing, avoids the pitfall of letting all the characters sound alike as they frantically battle the same evil. Most of the roles fall in groups. But whether a terrified child, fanatical judge or desperate, martyred farmer, each actor manages to create an individual personality and consistently convey it.

This seems to be pure rhetorical nonsense designed to fit his perceptions of the Reagan Administration as inherently evil. To say that the Administration lied by promising a better economy and then not delivering in the first 11 months of its existence, indeed, in the first two months since the tax bill went into effect, clearly shows more liberal frustration and impatience than any deceit on the part...
