...addresses her unborn child: "If you're a boy kid, I'm gonna teach you to respect women. And if you're a girl kid, I'm gonna teach you to respect yourself." That is the sort of shallow illumination that Mazursky usually mocks with glee...

The unsuccessful attempt to remove Andrew Johnson from office in 1868 had such grave consequences for American political life in the last half of the 19th century that the use of impeachment to redress presidential misconduct fell into general disrepute.

There are, of course, probably valid objections to Thompson's tampering with the truth with such unabashed glee, but his metaphysical point of view is so seductive--so right, that it's hard to notice. It should by rights be simple to tell when Dr. Thompson is jettisoning the truth, yet the fact is that his fantasies are close to ringing true, not so much because he is being irresponsibly unclear, but because the campaign...
