Bobby elates the disenchanted with his blanket condemnation of the way things are, but his alternatives for the most part are either vague or on the safe side. On Viet Nam, he does not advocate peace at any price or unilateral U.S. withdrawal: presumably, he would continue to prosecute the war if the negotiations he seeks were to fail. Domestically, he stresses the need for more and better, as many others do. But when he comes down to a concrete proposal, he mentions reducing the strings on federal grants to the states in such fields as education and health, something...
Ford Limousine. That was a small enough price to pay in return for Suharto's broad emergency powers, but it showed a widespread doubt about the honesty of his government. With a Ford Galaxie for his official limousine and a middle-class bungalow for his residence, Suharto himself is not under suspicion. Some of his top generals, with larger houses and longer cars, most certainly are, including one group in charge of foreign rice purchases that has failed to account for millions of rupiahs.

...this case, it is not very much. Guns is a story about a renegade soldier in 18th century Mexico, with a price on his head, who is given sanctuary by an old priest (Sam Jaffe) in the village of San Sebastian. The priest is murdered by the fierce Yaqui Indians, who attack the church as an instrument of the hated white man. They torture Quinn and order him to leave. A village girl (Anjanette Comer), plus his conscience, plus the devotion of the hapless villagers who mistake him for a priest all manage to change his course and set things...
