...made overseas. Much of the information came from a 530-page report prepared by Northrop's auditors, Ernst & Ernst, which started to investigate to comply with a consent decree that settled a Securities and Exchange Commission suit against Northrop. In their testimony, Jones and Executive Committee Chief Richard Millar sought to justify most of the payments as legitimate. In many cases they failed to convince skeptical Senators, who expect similar revelations from other companies. One danger is that in the public view, innocent multinationals will be clobbered along with the not so innocent. Said Idaho Democrat Frank Church, chairman...
Before the film began, Kate warned Director Stuart Millar, "I have a mean streak a yard and a half wide." Millar, directing only his second film (his first in 1972 was called When the Legends Die), soon knew she meant it. Several workdays began with Kate royally telling him how she and Duke thought a scene should be shot. Moaned Millar: "A hell of a way to start the day." Kate countered: "A sharp knife cuts the quickest and hurts the least." The open secret on the set was that Duke and Kate pretty well directed themselves. More than once...
...Alliance and Labour parties have almost equal backing from Catholics and Protestants. Recent Alliance recruits include a number of Ulster's senior political figures, among them Sir Robert Porter, former Minister of Home Affairs, three mayors, five Senators and 70 local councillors.

Where Legends works less well is in the concept of the character Red. He is not only supposed to be a father figure to Tom, but to personify the white man as oppressor-a heavy burden for a broncobuster. Millar catches both the affection and the antagonism between him and Tom, but too little passion is generated when they clash. Understated and controlled...
Widmark is in top form and Forrest is a real find, a new actor with the kind of presence and subtle authority that can animate a characterization, not dominate it. Millar makes good use of him, especially in a devastating last scene when Tom returns as a man to the reservation school. "I've learned the new ways," he says, eyes full of grave irony suggesting scars without self-pity. The rodeo champion now wants only to tend the reservation horses, an ambition that suggests both a new awareness and a capitulation, a final defeat. ∎Jay Cocks
