...rough nose count indicates at least 50 Senators for the treaty, 20 unalterably opposed (a minimum of 34 will be needed to block the treaty). Proponents are encouraged by the defection of Barry Goldwater and S.I. Hayakawa. Since Barry switched, he says that Ronald Reagan has not spoken to him. Explains Goldwater, resignedly: "I would have said that we should fight for the canal if necessary. But the Viet Nam years have taught me that we wouldn't. So we might as well hand it over."

...they give a good approximation of what the Beatles looked like. As Ringo Starr, Justin McNeill bobs his nose up and down convincingly. Leslie Fradkin as Harrison and Joe Pecorino as Lennon rely pretty much on their costumes and gestures for verisimilitude. But Mitch Weissman is a dead ringer for McCartney, not just in his stance and round face, but in the way he captures the pleasantly boyish manner in which Paul went about his stage business.
