In Author Ruark's memory-misted eyes the Old Man (Ned Hall) is a cross between Thoreau and Natty Bumppo, and the Boy (Robert Chester Ruark Jr.) a blend of Huck Finn and Hemingway's Nick Adams.

Among the barkers: eight-term Congressman Alvin O'Konski, 53, whose campaign manager decided to sell O'Konski's blend of domestic New Dealism and mossbacked foreign policy by television and newspaper spreads "just like you sell a new potato salad" (and brought him in third). Another was Gerald D. Lorge, 35, a "fighting marine" who fought a campaign in Joe McCarthy's image, came in sixth to discover...
