So with soothing and inspiring words befitting the son of a preacher, he tried to bandage the wounds.

Taylor is a hard-nosed district attorney with a rightist bias who revels in his animal prowess with girls in singles bars. Harold is a do-good veteran of the '60s scene with its liberal pantomimes and drug dabbling. He sought God in a physics equation and found solace...
