...white-collar slime mold: he's a thief, an accessory to murder and a meanie to his mom. He can't even admit he has a drug problem -- cocaine and alcohol -- until a tough-love therapist (Morgan Freeman), an A.A. veteran (M. Emmet Walsh) and a nervy fellow addict (Kathy Baker) help him see the dark before the light. Some of the early scenes ring as inauthentic as the Philadelphia accents; each supporting junkie pushes too hard, as if he were part of an Actors Lab experiment that failed.

...Bush was ready to make a desperate try for the White House. He had primarily an appointive resume to run on, but it was an equivocal recommendation. He seemed less the fellow who had held all these jobs than the man who would consent to do them. Once a walking gentleman has cast his lot with Richard Nixon over the years, even Andover straightforwardness can begin ( to look like invincible patsydom. It was in the 1980 campaign that Bush's later manner was established in people's minds -- that mishmash of cultures partly assimilated, that belongingness more yearned for than...
