Intelligent gun legislation, as Lyndon Johnson pointed out, "will not in itself end the violence. But reason and experience tell us that it will slow it down ?that it will spare many innocent lives." Whatever the cost, it would be worth it to reduce the risk of killing a Kennedy, a King?or a kid gunned down by an ignorant hunter...
...Iowa's Republican Senator Bourke Hickenlooper. N.R.A. has 182 "field representatives" working on legislation, not only in Washington but in 47 state capitals as well. Much of its $5,700,000 budget goes toward promoting such slogans as "Shooting Is Safe."

The tired bloodshed of the plot about gringos and greasers-as the script tastefully refers to Texans and Mexicans-is a vehicle for England's Terence Stamp, Cheapside accent and all. Would you believe that he plays a gunman raised from childhood by a band of Mexican brigands...
