...half of Europe along the way) the Griswalds are ready to return home, with dreams of the good of U.S. of A in their heads, ridiculous-looking touristy Italian clothes on their bodies, and about half-a-dozen warrants for their arrest. And in the movie's monotonously silly vein Chevy causes the plane to dip and veer such that it knocks down the torch from the Statue of Liberty...
...military action. But those criticisms were balanced by grudging commendations from some of Reagan's most severe critics. For example, New York Times Columnist Anthony Lewis, who rarely finds anything good to say about the Administration, wrote that "Mr. Reagan deserves praise" for his restraint.

All four are under the tutelage of the wise, omnipresent, and somewhat jaded Pangloss played superbly by Jon Tolin Pangloss also serves as the show's magnificent narrator--Voltaire in a similar vein to Salieri's narration in the stage production of Amadeus. From his excellent bedside miming during the overture to his constant reincarnations throughout the course of his pupil's bizarre encounters with fate, Tolin's Voltaire exudes a special acceptance of life that his students have yet to learn. Tolin...
