Hard Times is the best script Bronson has enjoyed since he became box office. His character is called Chaney, a drifter and street fighter of mysterious origins and flexible future. He rides into New Orleans on a boxcar and soon afterward picks up a fight and a manager.

Although gun controls could help prevent many spur of the moment murders, few experts thought such laws would have any short-term impact on the danger of assassinations; the gains would be long run. For now, those most likely to use guns against a President would be least likely to register or surrender the ones they have...
