...shells bursting all around them. One strange close-up even suggests a Vietnamese. A funeral ceremony in stills appears to draw the film to a familiar conclusion of bitter defeat when a thunderclap sounds and we return to the first shot-green sands swept by a red wind. The hint of apocalypse indulges all those romantic dreams we share of the movie in which the Indians win, and is the most cheaply theatrical moment in the film...

This judgment of the recent growth of the world's largest chemical company comes from Charles Brelsford McCoy, 60, president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. McCoy betrays a hint of nervous candor not often shown at the 167-year-old firm, where fluctuations in corporate fortunes often have been shrugged off as mere ripples in the stream of its history.
