...traditionals and refer to other, "sellout" Indians as "Apples"-that is, red on the outside, all white just below the skin. The movie has something urgent to say, but its theme and the situation it portrays are so tragically familiar that much of their impact is vitiated. Despite Robert Redford's narration, Broken Treaty at Battle Mountain is also a shambles, manufactured with the kind of earnest clumsiness that gives documentaries a bad name...

"Harry Rosenfeld [Post metropolitan editor] came out looking like Phil Silvers, and Ben Bradlee became Walter Pidgeon. It was just too shallow." So Bernstein...
...bother me, because you don't have to put up a facade." Prior to the scandal, the old images of tough muckrakers and dashing foreign correspondents had faded. Now some of the glamour is back. Says Richard Petrow, dean of New York University's program: "When Robert Redford plays the lead in a movie about two reporters, you know something is happening." What is happening is that Watergate has persuaded many students that journalism is an exciting, socially valuable occupation...
