...Durso walked in the first inning to start the Crimson rally. Kevin Hampe bunted and reached first on a fielder's choice. Leigh Hogan walked to load the bases. The next batter up, Jim Stoekel, hit into a double play that scored Durso from third to give the Crimson a 1-0 lead...
...issue.) But your gloating over Professor Eckstein's decision to go on half-time status takes the cake. His decision is a serious loss to the University, to you. Eckstein is one of the best teachers at the University, carrying more than his share of the teaching and advising load and giving more attention to undergraduates than most of his colleagues, myself included. The rather good shape of Ec 10 in recent years owes much to his efforts. Not having him on full time status will be missed by all of us, you included. It is sad that...

This desperate inventiveness does not make a familiar tale interesting. It simply weighs it down under a load of cacophonously clanking symbols. As a director, Eastwood is not as good as he seems to think he is. As an actor, he is probably better than he allows himself to be. Meanwhile, the best you can say for High Plains Drifter is that the title is a low pun. Rarely are humble westerns permitted to drift around on such a highfalutin plane. That, however, is small comfort as this cold, gory and overthought movie unfolds...
