First sentence: A curious sense of disproportion is evoked by any listing of luminaries who loved Westerns, as if that were the sole common denominator among such different lives: Richard Nixon, Jorge Luis Borges, Joseph Stalin, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Jean Cocteau, Sherwood Anderson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Simone de Beauvoir, Douglas MacArthur, Akira Kurosawa.
