...John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion had the clever notion of resetting this story in the rock world, where heady glamour and careening careers furnish the closest contemporary equivalent of the Hollywood flush years. Barbra Streisand and her inamorato Jon Peters weighed into the project as Dunne and Didion drifted away. Batteries of writers and directors were exhausted before the present version was put together under-or perhaps around-Director Frank Pierson (The Looking Glass War).

The animals were obliterated partly to feed railroad workers but mostly for sport or to furnish the rich with carriage robes and the novelty of nibbling on buffalo tongue. Great clouds of passenger pigeons were peeled from the sky with shotguns or simply captured by hand on their nightly roosts. The last of the species, once estimated to number 9 billion, died at the Cincinnati...
