...product of a staunchly Republican family, Watkins showed his first interest in politics as a follower of Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party. For four years (1928-33) he served as a district judge. In Washington, as a member of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, he has had firsthand experience at investigation of Communist infiltration. His family and friends remember only one Watkins statement about McCarthy: "The people of Wisconsin must like him; they elected...
...cannot transmit to a pupil: the love of racing. A man has to be interested in animals as well as mathematics before he can decide what a given horse can do. Matheson himself got the bug early. At twelve he rode his grandfather's horses on scrubby "bull rings" (half-mile tracks) in Idaho and Utah.

...single file. It was sundown. Dressed mostly in jeans or slacks and open shirts, the men sat cross-legged on the bare earth, facing a fire. Each helped himself to the peyote buttons that were passed around, and from time to time someone lit up a ceremonial cigarette (Bull Durham tobacco and corn husks). Until 7:30 the next morning, the big tepee was filled with prayers and gentle chants, and the soft rhythmic beat of the gourd. There was a "Fire Chief" to tend the fire, a "Cedar Chief" to sprinkle powdered cedar into the flames, and a "Drummer...
