Unitarian Solution. The last story, Eli, the Fanatic, borders on mysticism. Its chief characters are a lawyer in a Brooks Brothers suit (Michael Tolan), his very pregnant wife (Rose Arrick), a Talmudic scholar (Lou Jacob!) and the scholar's helper (David Ackroyd).

On the whole, the note of authenticity was worth the price of occasional stiltedness, particularly in the juxtaposition of a courageous Lincoln (Michael Tolan) with a monomaniac McClellan, a tough T.
