...Informant. Almost no one in Washington believed that Jerry Ford would ever pocket campaign funds. Yet neither would anyone accuse the highly respected Ruff, a Democrat, of acting rashly or for partisan purposes. A polio-paralyzed associate law professor at Georgetown University, Ruff, 37, belonged to the staff that dug into illegal corporate political contributions during Watergate and brought Richard Nixon's top aides to trial.

Irvin Kershner, who is known for such pocket dramas as The Hoodlum Priest and Loving, is working for the first time on a large scale. With the excellent assistance of Cameraman Owen Roizman (The Exorcist), he brings off some fine set pieces: a buffalo hunt, the sacking of a fort.
