Editor Duncan Aikman and the jounalists and novelists who compiled The Taming follow Mr. White's lead in being ingenuously shocking and satirically humorous. Idwal Jones' chapter on the guerilla artists of San Francisco's old Barbary Coast is one of the best. There is Jacques, chef at the Tehama House, ladling out sea-gull-egg omelets. Banker Eugene Duprey washes down a 15-pound turkey with 20 bottles of claret and waddles into the street to be acclaimed for having won a great bet. Garibaldi the Magnificent furnishes Mark Hopkins' palace on Nob Hill...
