...hand to play a pacifist nurse, and the repartee between husband and wife is snappy, affectionate and diverting. That is rather more than can be said for the rest of the movie. William Holden turns in an excellent performance in Wild Rovers as an agile but aging cowboy who robs a bank with his young buddy (Ryan O'Neal). It is a role that owes much to the character he created in The Wild Bunch, and the film itself owes similar debts to such illustrious predecessors as Red River and The Searchers.

Johnson organized us as effectively as any antiwar campaign, for his defiant cowboy style would admit no doubts or hopes for respite: he intended to win no matter how many are killed or who might protest. Nixon learned from Cambodia that the shoot from-the-hip style was a risk. If he told the people what he intended to do they would get angry; so, instead, he lied, couching plans for victory in the rhetoric of withdrawal, calling mass...
