...International Inn, Washington, D.C.--tall, modern, plush carpeting, tasteful furniture, color TV, heat-sensitive elevator buttons, expensive coffee shops and a heated pool enclosed by a transparent glass bubble which hotel officials can open up, observatory style, when the sun begins to turn the people inside into ants under a magnifying glass. After a leisurely afternoon backfloating, guests can dine on filet mignon at poolside...

DA, as its literature proclaims, is "the major coalition within (emphasis added) the Democratic Party concerned with developing and fighting for progressive economic and social programs." Expect no Port Huron statement from DA; the International Inn is no place to foment revolution...
...interest in The French Atlantic Affair is the exuberant fraudulence of its every frame. Locations as far apart as Paris and Taos appear to be in the same time zone. The Festivale, though described as "very chic, very in, very high style," looks like a floating Ramada Inn. The script is a graveyard of unintentional boners.

Next morning, Gargan and Markham joined Kennedy at the inn. They returned to Chappaquiddick at about 9 a.m. and entered a shack near the ferry slip, where Kennedy tried in vain to phone a family friend, Attorney Burke Marshall. At that point, Ferryman Richard Hewitt asked if they knew about the wrecked car, which had been discovered by some fishermen. Hewitt later testified that Markham replied, "Yes. We just heard about it." Only then did Kennedy go to the police station and report the accident...
