A Perfect Candidate

Disproving F. Scott Fitzgerald's pronouncement that there are no second acts in American lives, former Marine Oliver North emerged from the Iran-Contra scandal to run for the U.S. Senate in 1994. During the heated race, documentarians were granted access to view the back-room machinations hatched by the candidates, their handlers and the press.
