description: By Gore Vidal, starring Fred Thompson and Marsha Mason. This darkly satirical drama finds two presidential contenders seeking the endorsement of an aging ex-president, and explores how personal agendas can change the course of a nation's destiny. The political intrigues rampant in Vidal's 1960 setting are strangely similar what is going on today. Includes an interview with Fred Thompson and Marsha Mason.
