...want you to see a mountain in your mind, and then imagine you are standing at the bottom of it." He paused for a minute, and a lovely green mountain floated into the boy's mind and settled in place. "If you look carefully, you can see a cave halfway up the mountain," Steve went on. "But there is a door on the cave. As I count from one to ten, I want you to climb up the mountain to that door. One . . ." In a flash the boy stood in front of the door. No, that was too fast...

When somebody goes to the bother of naming a cave after a gal, the only polite thing for her to do is sing a little tune in appreciation. Which explains what Pearl Bailey was doing 320 ft. underground in Missouri's Meramec Caverns belting out Hello, Dolly! Off Broadway, Pearlie Mae is an avid spelunker, and she gladly turned up for the dedication of the cavern's "Pearl Bailey Room." As for that cave, which once served as an Underground Railroad stop, it suits Pearl just fine. "That," she pronounced, "is something solid...

...thought that if the strongest country, militarily and industrially, decided that something was right for Vietnam, then the other side would capitulate. Johnson is a man of action and feels that if you know that you have the strength, show your strength resolutely, and the other side will cave in. The other side hasn't caved in.
