Some of the hunters wore the new bright yellow togs, but most sported head-to-boots outfits in traditional red-cap, jacket, shirt, trousers, even suspenders. Pinned between their shoulders was a big red license plate. All were in moods ranging from festive to rambunctious. Said Rancher Bob Lahde, who "takes in" hunters: "You can tell how keyed up these hunters are by the way they eat. First day, they'll take maybe one of my bear-burgers. Then they get a buck, and my wife and I can't get enough food moving to them...
Reviving a project drawn up in 1889, Moch's plan calls for a 2O.5-mile-long bridge, supported by 164 huge pilings, built straight from Cap Gris-Nez to South Foreland. A single railway would run along either side with a five-lane superhighway in between. Slung on girders over each side would be two lanes for bicycles and service vehicles. With a clearance of 164 ft., the bridge would be high enough at all points to allow most ships to pass under. It would rise at several points to a 230-ft. clearance to accommodate U.S. supercarriers...
Back in Karachi from his U.S. visit, Camel Driver Bashir Ahmad was a changed man.

...party in London five years ago, he came upon two people in a small room. One was a little man with bare feet "carrying on a lively and rather literate conversation, and at the table next to him sat an enormous lorry driver. He had his cap on and he hardly said a word. And all the while, as he talked, the little man was feeding the big man-cutting his bread, buttering it, and so on. Well, this image would never leave me." From it, Pinter wrote his first play, The Room. But he didn't give...
...Screw Caps. The vineyards of the premium producers-Almaden, Beaulieu, Beringer, Cresta Blanca. Inglenook, Korbel, Krug, Louis Martini, Masson, Wente, et al.-are concentrated chiefly in the Napa Valley and coastal areas near San Francisco. Most own their own vineyards, bottle their table wine in the old traditional style of the good French winemakers, studiously disdaining such modern advances as concrete fermentation vats and screw-cap bottle tops. Their wine is labeled with the name of the grape from which it is made, so that buyers can approximate the European equivalent in a California product. In white wines, Pinot Chardonnay...
