Politically, however, both men cannot match Humphrey. It seems silly that now a Catholic qua Catholic must adorn a national ticket. Besides, Kennedy's electoral strength only duplicates Johnson's and Bobby would hurt him elsewhere.

The actors snap, their fingers at the plot, and Bing Crosby pops in from time to time as one Allen A. Dale, who reforms a roomful of rowdy orphans with a song called Don't Be a Do-Badder...
