...remember? But Bronson has never been one to take pointless injustice lying down, nossir. So he takes the law into his own hands, and the fans go wild. No kidding: I saw this movie on New York's upper west side, and every time Bronson popped another mugger or bag-snatcher in the chest the audience gave him a standing ovation. Which is to say that "Death Wish" will cater to your basest instincts. But it's cathartic, you'll say, harmless, really. Tell me about it.

The cast exuberantly hauls around ladders, scaffolds and dollies to tunes written for the show by James Taylor and others. The message? Says Terkel, whose book was based...
...autobiography, The Education of a Public Man, Humphrey described how Johnson invited him to the ranch and in the course of the visit ordered him to shoot a deer. The Vice President-elect, who abhorred hunting, did as he was told with obvious distaste. So Johnson told him to bag another deer. Once again, Humphrey obeyed his Commander in Chief. It was to be that kind of relationship for the duration of the Johnson Administration...
