...Senate the threat of filibuster hung over at least three measures: repeal of the federal tax on oleomargarine (by dairy state Senators); civil rights (by the Dixiecrats); a revised D.P. bill (by Nevada's one-man roadblock, Pat McCarran). In both Houses one of the warmest debates would come over taxes and the new budget, which was giving concern even to some staunch Administration Democrats.

His life story is told in choppy, dramatic incidents, which give the movie a curious pattern-Stark at the football stadium, Stark haranguing a fairgrounds crowd, Stark bulldozing the legislators, Stark posing for cameramen with his estranged family. The small, disconnected scenes hit the eye with the repetitive impact of telephone poles seen from a fast train, and din the main character deep into the mind...
