I don't know if there's any validity to it, but I remember reading something years ago about Remar that suggested that just when he was coming up, the producers and casting directors were turning increasingly to more "ethnic" actors, like Hoffman and Pacino, and away from the traditional square-jawed WASP types. I don't recall details, and again I don't know whether there's any truth to it, but that's one theory.

"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." Ronald Reagan
