...quick-draw justice played well on the 11 o'clock news. For off-duty Barfers, machismo was the drug of choice. One officer ignored his wife's plea to wear a bulletproof vest because his buddies might laugh. Another pasted a coroner's snapshot of a riddled body in his scrapbook. "Think of it," muses the author, "ten little hardball lawmen, shooting down Mexican bandits where they stand, out there in the cactus and rocks and tarantulas and scorpions ...
