...Harry Blackmun. The Old liberal, activist Warren majority has now shrunk to three: Justices William Brennan Jr., 65: Thurgood Marshall, 63; and William O. Douglas, 73. Holding four seats, the conservative Nixon Justices will also be a minority, with the balance of power exercised in the middle by Potter Stewart, 56, and Byron White, 54. But the bench will have been heavily tipped to the right by the Nixon bloc. It is now virtually a Nixon Court...

Though the rankings are still inconclusive this early in the season, only Glenn Ford (Cade's County) even makes the top half of the chart, ranking 20th among the 67 prime-time programs.

Far more interesting than the critical narrative are four interviews interspersed with glimpses of Ford movies. Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda are all in their 60s; they are juvenile leads when they discuss the director with terror and awe. Better still is Ford himself regarding Bogdanovich with rue and deflecting questions about his aesthetics with "Yeah," "No" and "Cut." Ford knows what Wordsworth knew: "We murder to dissect."
