This sort of dilution has its source in the script by Earl Hamner Jr., creator of television's The Waltons, a soft cow-eyed evocation of the Depression struggles of another Southern mountain family.

In a production not conspicuously endowed with strength or cohesiveness, Jones' prizefighter style makes him disconcert ingly and divisively strong, as if a born winner had stumbled into the company ofbornlosers...
...street crimes like murder, arson and robbery-even when they have political overtones-have clear equivalents in all languages and systems of jurisprudence.

Martin Luther King Jr., even though Ray raised a political claim...
