...took the wild ride of Perot's 1992 candidacy to awaken the rest of the political world to the possibilities of running outside the sinking two-party system, and Perot has not ruled out the idea of tapping his billions and trying it again. He remains such a force that virtually every politician of national renown-with the notable exception of Bill Clinton, who nonetheless sent an emissary-braved the August heat in Dallas to lavish tribute on the jug-eared Wizard at his Oz of a political convention...
...year's cutest meet: she throws up on him, and it's love at first hurl. Victoria (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) has reason to feel queasy: she's pregnant but unmarried and is taking a bumpy train ride home to break the news to her very traditional family, proprietors of a vast Napa Valley vineyard.

With her guardian Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn), the girl hitches a ride on the trimaran of an outsider--part man, part fish--known as the Mariner (Costner). If anyone in this scurvy world can help them, he can. Hey, he can do anything. As we see in the opening scene, he knows how to transform his urine into drinking water...
