...staffers mutter about low salaries and heavy work loads but find brief reportorial stints stretching into lifelong careers at what they call "the tender trap." It has also been described as "40 freelance writers working under the same roof and (by Boston Globe Editor Tom Winship) as the best newspaper "of its size in the country." Such encomiums disturb the Yankee equanimity of Lawrence K. ("Pete") Miller, 65, owner, editor and publisher of the Berkshire (Mass.) Eagle, who attributes the paper's reputation for class to "accidents of inheritance, age, personality, location, and the like." Whatever the reasons...

...roping of mustangs to sell to dogfood and glue factories. Rosalie, top cowboy Gay's gal, objects to this cruelty. Would she have raised a ruckus about the meaninglessness of Gay's life had he lived in a cowboy heyday and been able to profitably hunt and trap, or shoot Indians and harass settlers, or drive cattle instead? We'll never know. Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable star: Montgomery Clift steals the show as a jelly-brained rodeo rider. The mustang scenes are good action...
