...clamor, abounds in striking personages, lights up momentous times. In Part I, the rebellion of the Percys and their confederates against Henry IV opposes the heedless, gallant Hotspur to the cooler, better-balanced Prince Hal.

The stakes: Pike's Peak v. Big Bend State Park on the Rio Grande. Rice won. So last week the two Governors motored to the top of Pike's Peak, which Governor Ammons thereupon handed over to Governor Allred. Governor Allred raised the Texas flag...
