…f animals and that, on threat of brutal torture and death, precluded homosexuality. Proulx’s story ends with a reality that McMurtry and Ossana thread through the screenplay: “There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to believe, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can’t fix it you’ve got to stand it.” Jack tries, finally, to live both tending cattle and loving a man, and, off screen, his wife’s father makes sure…

Would, for example, a traitorous, genocidal president have a corresponding “right” to have a secretary of defense agreeably “aligned” to high criminality?

By Benjamin Dueholm

…utations have been damaged. Those are the currencies in which our society exacts its extra-legal penalties: money and prominence.
