Still, he made enough of a reputation for himself that in 1991 he was wooed by both the Bob Kerrey and Clinton campaigns. Stephanopoulos recalls the instant rapport that he felt during his first meeting with Clinton pollster Stan Greenberg. "Midway through the interview," says Stephanopoulos, "I started working...

Pakula's direction consists largely of pullbacks and pans that never reveal anything interesting -- except, perhaps, his own misguided ambitions for a film whose one real hope was briskness and irony, a sense that this subject is fully ripened for satire...
