Cole Stevens as the mayor does not have Leach's excuse; George's development is clearly delineated in the play's action. With little subtlety, Stevens lapses into an Outer Limits-like trance which is supposed to resemble a nervous collapse, but just looks plain silly...
...task proved almost Olympian. Paint thinner sloshed on the decks to fuel the blaze evaporated before Crewman Hunt could kindle it. "His performance was wretched," said Warren. Canadian security forces, fearing a bombing, rushed a Coast Guard cutter, police boat and helicopter to the scene, and soon made plain what part of an 'orse they thought the British were...

Von Däniken's notions make use of ancient artifacts that he feels are proof of an extraterrestrial influence in history: the massive Easter Island statues, for instance, and the mysterious lines extending for miles on the Peruvian coastal plain at Nazca that he argues were landing strips for celestial spaceships. Story easily demonstrates that Von Däniken's use of details and overstretched imaginings are on a par with those of children seeing camels and puppies in cloud formations...
