America is the inventor of that most mythical hero, the cowboy,who again & again saves a society he can never completely fit into. The cowboy has a special talent-he can shoot staighter and faster than other men-and a special sense of justice.

He rides off alone into the sunset like Shane, or the Lone Ranger moves on accompanied only by his Indian companion. But the cowboys importance is not that he is isolated or antisocial.
