...Braden is tall, wiry and intense, Mankiewicz is short, round-faced and bemused -launched their project in the belief that most columns "are lousy" and fail to express a "sense of outrage." Yet the two have developed a detached style, garnished with historical and literary references, which mutes their anger. They have assailed such targets as the war in Viet Nam, the ABM, and MIRV, nerve gas and wiretaps...
...began writing seriously for the state. Anyone who has ever seen one of his rehersals knows the perfection of his control of the theater from light board to script girl; his exultation in his own unchallenged command of the mannerisms of theater people. His energy, now revealed as anger, as self-pity, as melodrama, never flags: any needle in any vein to keep the show alive. He is the supreme impresario, diverting his own eyes and the world's from himself to his creations. If he could put King Kong on stage he would. As director he has no respect...

Tough to men and kind to wimmin, slow to anger but duck behind the bar when he got mad, for he had a gun and a word that never failed...
...rebellion begins at Heckletooth Mountain's Logging Unit Three, when Lee Replogle, a 46-year-old Forest Service worker, sees a big bull elk about to gore his pet hound and shoots him in a reflex of instant anger. Elk are out of season, and Replogle has been a dutiful Government employee. But he sees himself as "a punk" and a sucker who has never got anything from a society filled with takers. Near by, the first flames of the fire flicker. Suddenly, he feels a compulsion to prove his manhood by defying the law and packing...
