...state representative besides doing a stint on the Andover Board of Selectmen, he made no attempts to disguise his ties with Morse. Morse was Cronin's political meal ticket and Cronin felt no compunction over flaunting the fact. But despite Cronin's ties with his popular GOP predecessor, it appeared during the campaign and right up to election day, that in all other categories he was no match for the dynamic and outspoken Kerry...
...whatever the viewer's orientation happens to be, I don't see how he can escape the feeling that this film is somehow cruel.

But it is hardly clear that McGovern can claim that immediate withdrawal has support in morality. Perhaps to abandon our allies in Asia without regard for their future is not the moral course but the expedient one. Doubtless thousands of students disagree with this analysis, but to refuse it they must apply more argument to the problem rather than pious phrases...
