...movie is blank, unimaginative -think of every joke you have heard about New York over the past decade and here it is-and Bancroft cannot make much of the bits and scraps she is given.

...group of 28 key conservatives-members of Congress, business executives, party activists and even a labor representative-met at a resort on Maryland's Eastern Shore to map out strategy leading up to 1976.
