...Wild Bunch is the story of a group of men whose only communal experience is killing. They whose only communal experience is killing. They are always shown alone (hence the preponderance of close-ups), divorced not only from their surroundings but from each other.

...plots they were tilling. Because of the peasants' lack of money and the inefficiency of the Vietnamese bureaucracy, Diem's program failed. At the 1966 Honolulu summit, the South Vietnamese promised to make land reform a major part of the pacification program.

...anthill of Nazism. Constitutionally and temperamentally, the U.S. is probably immune to such violent reversals of law and mood. Nonetheless, as in any other democracy, change in the U.S. tends to be uneven: two steps forward, one step back. Whatever the disposition of the new Supreme Court, there is real danger of repressive action at the local level?in all likelihood by policemen and prosecutors not intellectually equipped to judge the artistic or social merits of a book or film...
