While Dad tends to this year's campaign, Steve Ford, 19, will be stalking horses, dark and otherwise, in California. The President's youngest son has abandoned Utah State University and headed further west to work for California Horse Breeder George Texeria in Mission Viejo.

Astonishingly efficient (it uses 60% to 70% of the energy in its fuel v. 1% to 2% in today's nukes), and almost alchemic (it actually creates more fuel than it consumes), it would extend nuclear fuel supplies for centuries.

Off the diamond, MacPhail put his improbable imagination to work in the practice of law, managing a department store, as a banker, a football referee, a church organist and a breeder of thoroughbred horses. As an artillery captain following the Armistice of World War I, he persuaded seven fellow officers to help him try to kidnap the German Kaiser Wilhelm and deliver him as a Christmas present to President Woodrow Wilson. The scheme eventually failed, but the fact that MacPhail managed...
