...decision not to mobilize the reserves, McNamara admitted that "to carry on as we have does put strain on the department." He argued, nonetheless, that it was preferable to keep the reserves intact (or as Lyndon Johnson puts it, "to keep some chips in the pot") in case of some other emergency. The armed forces are expanding by 30,000 a month through enlistments and the draft.

And Director Robert Mulligan never quite decides whether to play for heartbreaks or black humor. The strain tells on Robert Redford, a deft actor, miscast as Daisy's neurotic, one-night-stand husband who establishes his virility beyond reasonable doubt before being written off unconvincingly as a homosexual...
