Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) is the kind of guy who casts a thick fog - a regular pea souper - over memories of our bright college years. He's the kind of teacher who routinely visits contempt on his students, contumely on his colleagues and a catastrophic self-involvement on any woman crazy enough to contemplate a relationship with him. Needless to say, he has accomplished nothing to justify his arrogance; he only has an excuse - he continues to mourn the death of his wife...

...extraordinarily energetic for a 71-year-old; Barack Obama is remarkably grounded for a 46-year-old. But strategists for both candidates say that age could be an issue in a possible general-election face-off--although each camp sees it as a bigger problem for the other guy. At a time when the electorate seeks change, Obama's advisers say, it will not turn to a man who has worked in Washington for decades. McCain's aides are convinced they can win the cardinal argument about the necessity of experience. Historically, campaign gaffes have made age an issue...
