...cinematic style is less frenetic than the older film. The photography is smoother, more obviously professional. Bafaloukos directs with long, moving takes that wind around corners and travel through doors with a rare, natural sense, as if he were shooting a fancy documentary. Accordingly, he uses a minimum of reaction shots, and avoids montage nearly altogether until a marvelous sequence that shows Horse's friends assembling for the big rip-off.

This close relationship between white and black leaders began as a community-wide reaction to the race riot of 1967, one of the worst in the nation. A total of 33 blacks and ten whites died in the chaos, and the damage to property amounted to $80 million.

And as the moderates--who pose the greatest threat to rigid conservatism--are co-opted by this convention, the country's future dims. Amid the anti-Carter rhetoric that can carry the November election, there must be some strands of reason, some sign that conservatives are not uncompromising. This week in Detroit, there have been no such indications. Maybe that's why conservatives sport smiles wide than Carter's 1976 grin. The roots of the slogan, "Together--A New Beginning...
