What the critters lacked in talent they made up in hard work. They wiggled through more walking lessons than Brigitte Bardot, and rasped themselves raw-handed to perfect the fast draw.

He reads multilingually and voraciously-75 books a year. He takes pride in a connoisseur's cellar of fine wines, never misses a Brigitte Bardot movie (he has persuaded himself that...
