...believe that the 'sick society' idea is a sort of American defense mechanism; these dreadful things having happened, some Americans are anxious to regain their self-regard and the respect of others, and therefore hurry to accept the responsibility for awful events." It may be, agreed David Broder in the Washington Post, that the wave of assassinations heralds a "social breakdown," but it "seems to me a form of escapism to throw up our hands, and, like a chorus of Miniver Cheevy's, 'weep that we were ever born.' " Broder proposed acting instead of weeping...
...York national desk began editing or rewriting Washington bureau stories, and two years ago New York tried to replace Wicker with Assistant Managing Editor Harrison Salisbury, only to have National Political Correspondent David Broder resign. Broder accused New York of "a parochialism of outlook," "faulty and sometimes bizarre judgments," "endless bureaucratic frustrations in the New York office." The Salisbury idea was dropped-temporarily. Eight months ago, the paper hired James Greenfield, a former Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs (and onetime TIME correspondent) who had resigned in 1966 as an assistant vice president of Continental Airlines.

His catch includes the New York Times's crack Political Reporter David S. Broder and the Saturday Evening Post's Stanley Karnow, whom Bradlee has sent to roam Southeast Asia. Nicholas von Hoffman was brought to town from the Chicago Daily News and now travels from one ghetto to the next to assess the miseries of slum life. Hired from the New Republic, Wolf von Eckardt provides some...
Hannah Lee (Jock Broder Productions) refers to a cowboy ballad used as background music to one more encounter between the wicked cattle barons and the hapless homesteaders. Macdonald Carey plays the hired gunman who slaps small boys, makes roughhouse passes at the beautiful saloonkeeper (Joanne Dru), and shoots harmless people dead. For all the gunplay, the film limps along from anticlimax to anticlimax, but moviegoers may be beguiled by some spectacular Technicolor scenery. As the U.S. marshal who goes to the rescue, John Ireland sets some sort of precedent by losing all his fist fights and getting shot down...
