...certainly sounded bad enough. Mounting a car hood in Cambridge, the scene of prolonged racial demonstrations three years ago, Brown delivered an incendiary 50-minute harangue to a crowd of some 300 Negroes. Recalling the death of a white policeman during Plainfield, N.J., riots last month, Brown bellowed: "Look what the brothers did in Plainfield. They stomped a cop to death. Good. He's dead. They stomped him to death. They threw a shopping basket on his head and took his pistol and shot him and then...

Since Leone began the whole shebang-bang, Italian directors have cranked out 180 eastern westerns. Some of them, such as For a Thousand Dollars a Day and For Still More Dollars, are blatant copies.
