Another question, which remains to be answered, is whether Ford offers anything more for the most burdensome office in the world. In a cutting commentary on the new President's intelligence, Lyndon Johnson once suggested that Ford had played football too long without a helmet, and could not chew gum and walk at the same time.

But Mom in this case is played by gum-snapping Goldie Hawn, and there is nothing classy about the way she expresses her grief or the methods she is willing to employ to pry Baby Langston out of the foster home in which he has been placed...
