Durum & Ducks. Far away in North Dakota, where the land is flat as a flapjack and rich as Fort Knox, lives the Crockett family, descendants of Davy and just as tough. Bill Crockett and his two married sons Claude and Willard farm 5,000 acres of durum wheat, oats and barley in Cavalier County, just south of the Canadian border. Bill served as North Dakota's speaker of the house in 1935, still takes a lively interest in politics. But his real love, and that of his sons, is the land. Last year alone the three Crockett men spent...
...mixed lot. Aged 15 to 21, they range from prep school boys whose parents are delighted to pay the $300 fee to underprivileged Negroes sponsored by the Boys Club of New York. Boys of similar brawn and background are separated and formed into four mixed "patrols," fittingly named Carson, Crockett, Bridger and Boone, which compete against each other. Since the key to success is teamwork, every new test prods the strong to help the weak, and the weak to push themselves to their limit...
Into the modernistic Civic Center in the Rio Grande city of McAllen (pop. 32,728) last week crowded some 650 Texans to cheer Davy Crockett's words from the movie, The Alamo: "There's right and there's wrong.

Ivan the Terrible. Accessories are as full of movement as the clothes themselves. Hats are young and flattering, tend to frame the face instead of sweeping down to smother it. Ricci's "Ivan the Terrible" model is a fat acorn of fur, and Cardin's "Davy Crockett" curls an entire fox (in brown, red or black) around the head. Feet, as well as bodies, are treated considerately once more after seasons of cramping toes into shoes that darted into stiletto points or simply blunted off the second joints, the rounded-toe look is back-although Dior...
...firepower, the Army will get large quantities of armored personnel carriers, 51-ton M-60 tanks, self-propelled artillery and a new super-jeep. The Army will have an increased tactical atomic punch, with assault missiles ranging from the 500-mile, solid-fuel Pershing down to the Davy Crockett, which can be carried by two G.I.s. The Marine Corps will increase in size from 175,000 to 190,000 men, get two new battalions, two new helicopter squadrons, and more A4D attack bombers and all-weather F4H fighter bombers for close air support. In testimony before a House subcommittee, Marine...
