...grade A's to their archetypes. Firecreek has archetype trouble. In an anomaly of casting, Henry Fonda-strained, sensitive and introverted as ever beneath a bad-guy black hat and a stubble beard-is called upon to play the leader of a menacing band of desperadoes.

But more recent actions do stick in the minds of many students. The University scoffed at suggestions that morality should enter into its financial planning when student civil-rights advocates suggested it divest itself of Mississippi Power and Light Co. stock. The University failed to stand up against the Massachusetts teachers' loyalty oath, and fired Samuel Bowles...
