Eventually, the Craig forces had to let a toll-road restriction bill pass the senate. But it was watered down to a thinness almost acceptable to the Craig administration. Lieutenant Governor Harold W. Handley, the key Jenner lieutenant, complaining that his forces should have been rougher in the fight, cracked: "But, you know how it is; there are always a few boys who don't really know the score, and so they want to be fair...

The consensus seems to be that if scientists would return to their laboratories and judges retire to their benches, democracy could work more smoothly for the betterment of all.

His groupings, timing, and gestures are carefully thought out to exploit the opposing strains of modern jargon and idealistic declamation in Richards script, so that its humor is correctly balanced with its more sobering import. It is to Scott's credit that not a line is lost, especially in the expertly-managed final scene...
