Army since 1942, when the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps was formed. No longer a mere auxiliary, the Women's Army Corps today numbers 46,000, and there are 170 women in training to become officers at West Point. Now the Army is studying the whole role of women in uniform and trying to decide whether to add more of them.

They grow out of a lot movies and eventually turn them all into mere incidents in the larger and more absorbing drama of the star career. Consider Eastwood's moralistic killer, whose cold eyes are set off by his incongruously boyish voice and smile, or Reynolds' good-ole-boy con man, shooting from the lip as fast as Eastwood shoots from...
