Appearing at a Better Business Bureau banquet in Chicago, Goldwater told 1,800 people that "I have my political hat on tonight." Then he laced into the Kennedy Administration, saying that the New Frontier has produced "1,026 days of wasted spending, wishful thinking, unwarranted intervention, wistful theories and waning confidence." The alliteration was admirable, but Barry proved once again that he delivers a formal speech with woeful woodenness...
Next morning Kennedy appeared before the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s fifth biennial convention-the last big Big Labor get-together before the '64 campaign. After reviewing New Frontier accomplishments, Kennedy launched into an impassioned plea for the tax bill's immediate enactment-something that he had despaired of the day before.

For the film's showdown, Wayne and Actress O'Hara square off in the middle of town. Stripped to her shift, Maureen is dunked in a trough, turned bottomside up for a spanking, finally has to take a running jump onto the buggy to catch a ride home. But women need that.
