Along with slush, broken toys and bills, one of the lingering misfortunes of every holiday season is the annual Disney movie, which displays a dismayingly hearty life span. It will circulate for months, play the Saturday matinee route and eventually show up on television.

This time, his counteroffensive was against the gathering danger of his impeachment, and the peripatetic President's message to the American public was that despite Watergate he was still greatly respected and needed abroad, and could still be welcomed and on top of things at home.
