...every adventurer has in him a bit of the runaway boy. Adventure was "Bigfoot" Wallace, the Texas ranger who went East "to see how people managed to live without the excitement of an occasional Indian fight, or a scrimmage with the Mexicans, or even a tussle with a bear now and then to keep their blood in circulation." Adventure was that incorrigible traveler and taleteller, Richard Halliburton, whether swimming the Hellespont or crossing the Alps à la Hannibal on an elephant...
...wildlife photographer in the remote reaches of Alaska, Canada and the Pacific Northwest. He has suffered eleven bone frac tures, and frostbitten toes are a commonplace. Once, when stranded for eight days at the tip of the Alaskan peninsula, he survived by fishing safely while a grizzly bear pack lurked near by. He rarely carries a rifle.

The meeting failed ostensibly because its membership could not clearly decide on the question of Russian attendance as a fellow "Afro-Asian" nation. Actually, the conference was killed by Red China, whose intransigent leaders could not bear to sit down with the despised "revisionists" of Moscow, and who were equally unsure of winning the condemnation of the U.S. which Peking demands at any good party. But beneath the particulars, Afro-Asian unity had been dying for years...
