He must make a good showing fast or he is almost sure to sink among all the contenders. At each stop Bush, lean, elegant and softspoken, handled the crowds with the easy grace of a Yankee patrician to the political manner born.

Ironically, though the film's fictional plant is located in California, the example that is offered of the devastation a meltdown could cause is an area the size of Pennsylvania.
