...outlaw legend in Rusty-James' eyes-are little more than the sum of their mannerisms. Their father (Dennis Hopper) is a philosophizing sot who comes and goes with the whim. Rusty-James' girlfriend (Diane Lane) is a mere receptacle for his careless abuse; his best friend (Vincent Spano) is a cowardly grind seduced by Rusty-James' danger.

Italy's Communist Senator Velio Spano, whom nobody could remember having invited, somehow got the floor, delivered the customary party-lining rant against the West. Next day a Moroccan delegate angrily demanded that the Americans, French and Spaniards pull out of North Africa. A French Senator rose to protest that he had not come...
