"Dick" Kleberg once tried ranching but gave it up to move to Corpus Christi, go into the cattle business, play good golf. Today the King Ranch, with its 100,000 head of livestock, its miles of plains and gardens, its oil wells, is managed by the new Congressman's brother Robert, who roams it from dawn to dark...
