...After Jesse Helms, the prime target of the Democrats this year is Republican Charles Percy, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He won his third term in 1978 with his narrowest margin, 53% of the vote, and since then has moved somewhat rightward.

But the best efforts of acting, directing, and music adaptation cannot save this play from Neil Simon's dark and cynically elitist outlook...
