...Retriever (remember Alph the sacred river in Coleridge's "Kubla Khan"?), could not be more ridiculous or more lovable. His costume alone is enough to do the trick: he sports long red underwear, a large fur coat, a bright red nose and great, comfortable-looking boots, the better to clomp with. Each character flirts with everyone else, but Alf manages to be the most open about it, sitting down beside May Wish and howling appealingly...
First warning of trouble to come was the muffled clomp of steel biting into earth as entrenching tools signaled the fact that the enemy was digging in near the camp's wire. Then a white phosphorus mortar shell exploded inside A Shau, and the valley night erupted in recoilless cannon and machine-gun fire, the flash of shells and burning buildings.

To Flowerday, putting the Ranger back in the saddle is a particular labor of love: it was he who used to clomp a pair of rubber plumber's friends in a box of gravel at Detroit's Station WXYZ whenever Silver galloped off in a cloud of dust. For radio listeners surfeited with news and music and music and news, Shadow, Ranger and Hornet are a welcome relief from...
