...roles in TV sitcoms, is well-cast as Crocker Jarmon--rhetorically smooth, with the sincerity of a born exhibitionist and a rockribbed physical facade. But Peter Boyle steals the show as Marvin Lucas, McKay's mysterious New York-based campaign manager. Lucas is tough, and smart, and flexible, a Madison Avenue superman; but in his own oily way we feel he cares more seriously than anyone else in the drama about the election's outcome--and he alone almost raises the level of the picture to tragicomedy...

That formula has worked spectacularly for Dr Pepper, a fruit-flavored soft drink that has been a staple for generations in the South and Southwest, but was unknown elsewhere five years ago. Since then it has expanded nationwide, taking chunks of such sophisticated markets as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles away from Coke and Pepsi.
