Last week, as he has for more than a decade, Kelso hopped across the U.S. expounding the merits of his "universal capitalism." In Chicago, he met with a group of insurance men. In Washington, he dined with five Republican Congressmen, two Administration aides...
SEVENTH DAY. The hunt was over. Deer spotted: 17. Arrows shot: 0. "Boy, those whitetail are really something," said Fred as he headed home. "They're just smarter than hell. Reminds me of the time I was hunting mountain goat in Alberta with Bud Gray, the chairman of Whirlpool. After about three hours of panting up those icy mountains, he rested on his bow and said: 'Tell me we're having fun, will...
