...wrangler is a nobody on a horse . . . with bad teeth, broken bones, a double hernia and lice." The self-description sits James Cagney, the bad man of the title, like Cagney sits a horse.

Ryan offers Jane the territory of Montana if she will let him assume her burden of quilt. She agrees, and he dresses her up like a real front-tier belle, but even as she is sprayed with Paris perfume, Jane...
...cuff campaigning, and was calculated-like his "hope" of making a cross-country give-'em-hell speaking tour this spring or summer-to gladden the hearts of the Democratic bigwigs who met in Denver last week to beat the drums for '52. Politics, like June, was bustin' out all over...
