Trouble was that try as they might, such luminaries as Dick Cavett, CBS's Andy Rooney and Beverly Sills could barely generate enough heat to toast, much less broil, kindly Uncle Walter. Then came Cronkite's turn, and he gave better than he got. On Rooney: "We've all had the experience of listening to him talk until an idea comes along.

Among the then dominant Carib Indians, who were cannibals, la nouvelle cuisine consisted of smoked or stewed Spaniard, followed in later years by filet of Frenchman and Londoner broil. Nor, for that matter, before paths were cleared through jungles and up mountains, could a seafaring man more than sense the islands' dazzling diversity of terrain or the richness of their flora and fauna.
