...entrance hall of Villa Hiigel, the 200-room stone and steel mansion where Alfried Felix Alwyn Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was born, 500 business, political and labor leaders gathered late last week for the funeral of the last sole ruler of the Ruhr's most powerful industrial dynasty. After the eulogies, a Krupp band struck up a miners' song called Glueck Auf (Good Fortune) and led the way out through a crowd to a hearse waiting in the rain. Behind followed ten Krupp miners bearing the oaken casket. Visibly in tears was Krupp's longtime confidant...
...there is into the few hours before the President's trip to Ford theater. Ann Rutledge, William Herndon, Matthew Brady, Crazy Mary, Drunk Ulysses, dirty stories, trips down the Old Mississippi, unorthodox but deep faith, what he really felt about the Negroes and more and more.

Its sole distinction was that it introduced Clint Eastwood as The Man with No Name. Now The Man is back, again played by Eastwood, but this time he comes equipped with a better plot, some real outdoor landscape, and a cast that looks even meaner than he does. As before, acting is forbidden; histrionics are kept to a contest of who can give his lip the tightest curl and who can give his eyes the narrowest...
