...during years of hearings before two FTC administrative law judges, the Government's case grew as soggy as the last Rice Krispies in a bowl of milk. Despite spending almost $6 million and compiling 40,000 pages of testimony with 2,900 supporting documents, the Government never proved that the cereal makers had reaped illegal monopoly profits.

After Pontiac and the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, where Cass was born, a safari to Kenya is on the itinerary. One day Joe announced: "I want to see some things I've only seen in books." It's an odd expression for someone who might be expected to be worldly. "He's curious, full of wonderment," says his wife, "not at all worldly." It delights him to have installed the sprinkler system in the horses' shed himself and to have managed a good deal of the carpentry. Life is good...
