...Nogales, backed by charts and diagrams, he tells the cops how he once tracked a burglar along a concrete road by watching for traces of footprints in "little stringers" of wind-blown sand. Though he shares such knowledge happily, he has found that tracking and desert work require a patience that is disappearing from America. He has camped out for weeks at desert airstrips with his dog Baron. "It's hard to keep the younger guys staked out like that," he laments.
