...ways which echo a deeper social disillusionment. Love comes at the purgative ending of The Wild Bunch, when gunslinger Pike Bishop tries to save Mexican rebel Angel from the torture of the Federales--only to be slaughtered in a suicidal attack both epic and glorious. It becomes muted, perhaps sadder, in The Ballad of Cable Hogue: Hogue's woman leaves him and his desert home, and returns too late to share his life.

It was hard to decide which seemed the sadder indication of his degeneration. On the one hand, accepting a degree-and especially an honorary degree for being a pundit-seemed to be just the sort of thing that Dylan had always promised himself he'd never...
