...blasted out, the bunting rippled, the political speakers roared. Thousands of chickens made the supreme sacrifice, turned up as patties and croquettes on thousands of tables at Lincoln Day dinners and Democratic rallies. In Washington, at a wingding sponsored by the D.C. League of Republican Women Voters, Dick and Pat Nixon listened without a wince to a chorus of college girls who shrilly serenaded them with a new song, to the tune of Clementine...

There he finds a retired judge (Ludwig Donath), a retired prosecutor (Max Adrian) and a retired defense lawyer (Claude Dauphin) who meet regularly to dine well and then stage trials-in a "Court...
...hero forges onward and downward, square-jawed and indomitably prissy, his footsteps are dogged by the usual unmitigated cur (Thayer David), and loyally followed by four trite and true companions: a plucky youth (Pat Boone), a good-natured giant (Peter Ronson), a beautiful widow (Arlene Dahl) and a noble-souled duck named Gertrude. (The widow, of course, is present over the hero's most passionately prudish protests. "But madam, think!" he gasps. "The lack of privacy...
