...scandalous activities it recounts. Its three screenwriters neither totally neglect nor totally embrace period language, so the dialogue has a pleasantly straightforward quality.

Stern went to her state's Republican caucuses in January, listened and left without voting. She still hasn't made up her mind, though she's now leaning toward Obama. "I'm very aware of what's going on and have paid attention, but I find it really hard to be trustful of politicians in general," she says. That sentiment is echoed by Beth Seidel, a factory worker in Cleveland who works the third shift...
