...script. It's wild and fanciful, unfettered by plot or logic. The dialogue is a great mish-mash of half-digested morsels from Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Coleridge, Jefferson Airplane, the Beatles and whatever else was floating through Kardon's consciousness as he held pen in hand. The mysterious phrase that serves as title pops up again and again, meaning nothing in particular but continually teasing the audience...

The President faces strong opposition as he presses forward with what he has called a new American revolution. The original had a still-remembered fiscal catch phrase, "No taxation without representation"; Nixon framed an argument that might be summarized, less stirringly, as "No accountability without accessibility...

As the continent was swept by a "wind of change," in Harold Macmillan's famous phrase, one former colony after another set out on its own. buoyed by unreasonably high hopes. Few captured the heady mood more eloquently than Julius Nyerere, who marked Tanganyika's independence in 1961 by sending an expedition to plant a flag and a torch atop Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak. "It will shine beyond our borders," said Nyerere, "giving hope where there...
