...Cowboy now wants his home on the range (but he keeps close guard on the stolen bank money), The Gunny nervously keeps his hand on the trigger, his mind on his belly, and his sanity with injections of the needle. The red-blooded Young Cowboy gets the banker's daughter in trouble, and reveals the scene of his home-leaving when his father caught him with his sister: "I was but twelve, but I faced him down even then. I had my colt apointin' at his heart afore he even got his gun out." So much for The American Dream...
...excellent job of production. The cast, headed by Peter Rousmaniere, Peter Morin, and John Mercer, all performed well, and occasionally with excellence. The minor flashback characters were good in spite of the brevity of their parts, with Farrell Page becomingly wistful in her short stint as The Banker's Beautiful (but now pregnant) Daughter.

This could have been a simple immigrant's success story. But Strausz-Hupé, however frivolous his youth, had retained the gravitas of a European education. He met Historian Oswald Spengler only once, while dressed as Marc Antony at a Munich carnival, but he had read that master pessimist well...
...Track Approach. However unpopular its measures may be, the Treasury has certainly missed few opportunities to keep U.S. dollars at home. When French Banker Baron Guy de Rothschild's three-year-old colt, Diatome, won last month's Washington, D.C. International, Treasury's Fowler was right there to present the $90,000 prize money. Fowler lost no time in expressing his hope that the baron would leave his winnings in the U.S., where they would not contribute to the payments deficit. Rothschild agreed to do just that...
