...good deal to say about the party's Viet Nam policy, before and during the campaign. Shrugging off the efforts of House Republican leaders to dissociate themselves from the President's Viet Nam policy, Dirksen declared gruffly: "They offer no alternative. Do we quit? Do we stop the bombing? There has to be an alternative. You don't declare a holiday in war unless both sides are willing to go to the table.

...series of contradictions: a tragic comedy, a peaceful war movie, a success story of a failure. The failure is Miles, a railway apprentice (Vaclav Neckar), who somehow never gets his signals straight. The fault, shown in whacky flashbacks, appears to be his pedigree.
