...ordinary Joe, likeable to the core, without an ounce of bellicosity in him, wanting to fill a need for people in more ways than being an optometrist. He has an unsynched walk and awry grin before Dresden, but ages believably into a self-controlled human shell who finds outlet for his bank of sympathy by raising a dog named Spot. He is ably supported by Eugene Roche's Derby, a solid man who's based his life on Christian principle (though not aware of its shaky national foundation), moving with that authority even when threatened; and Ron Liebman as Lazarro...
America cannot be completely absolved from responsibility for the assassinations, if only because it has created the conditions in which the killers live and flourish. Something in U.S. society leads them to favor one particular outlet, now morbidly familiar.

Certainly, even before the primaries, the residents of New Hampshire and Florida were found to be dissatisfied and hostile toward most candidates. The Wallace brand of populism offers a convenient outlet for all kinds of protest, whether its motives be worthy or base. On top of that, the sentiment against busing, fanned by the President, was enough to give many an urge to vote for Wallace. And, on a certain level, Wallace has a country-boy charm...
