...classes, the voice of reason in the face of Republican conservatism and most of all, a great actor and showman, winning over huge blocks of votes by sheer charm. The film shows him at home playing with his grandchildren, and cruising in the Long Island Sound in his family yacht. But never is Roosevelt so effective as when he mimics his political antagonists. Mora records him in a 1936 speech saying, "The opposition has called me an ogre, a sympathizer with the communists...they have even said I breakfast daily on grilled millionaire. Actually I am a devotee of scrambled...
...outburst of a sociopath. In Greece, for example, where political passions still foam fiercely in the wake of the restoration of democracy after seven years of military rule, at least five times last fall Prime Minister Constantine Caramanlis moved out of his official residence onto a yacht that was never anchored in the same harbor for more than one night.

Panama's reason for wanting the canal and the zone is not hard to understand. The zone is a lush green enclave of middle-class prosperity surrounded by teeming poverty. Within it are seven golf courses, riding clubs, movie theaters, yacht clubs and tennis courts. Zonians buy their food and household goods at commissaries, where prices are often lower than in the U.S. Fresh oysters and other Stateside delicacies are flown into the area's genteel clubs and restaurants. It is a world of Southern comfort, and Southern mores. The chief beneficiary of all this...
