Since this includes most West Germans, membership at first was limited to 1,000. Last week it passed the 1,300 mark and will soon, in its founder's words, be "a pleasant, exclusive circle of 2,000." Grumbles one member: "It's getting more exclusive with every thousand." Though the entrance is marked Members Only, Heinz Weigt confesses: "The manager has instructions to let in attractive nonmembers."

Hereford face has become as much a part of the western scene as the Petrified Forest. But at 54, Big John is getting a bit long in the tooth and short in the wind for all this biffbang and muscling around. In Comancheros the camera discreetly looks the other way whenever he tries to haul himself up the side of a horse. The day is plainly...
