...Domestic Affairs: There is nothing new, nothing startling in Nixon's welfare program. The ideas are largely progressive, but it will be essential for all of us to see what follow-through there is.

The trick was to release the violence in neighborhood theaters. But somehow the oversized part continued to elude the outsized Wayne. The first picture he made for Monogram literally took place in a one-horse town; the budget...
