A small portion of male skiers and a far larger female contingent end this conflict by deciding it's the social lift that makes the ski weekend. These, dear reader, are the snowbunnies...
...Visiting Lady. Dear to South African diggers are colored cave drawings, some made by modern Bushmen, some (perhaps) very old. French Digger Abbé Henri Breuil favors the "very old" theory.

Five years ago he had written a pallid little juvenile called Midnight and Jeremiah, which Walt Disney was interested in screening. North rewrote the story into a screen version for Disney and a novel (So Dear to My Heart) for Doubleday. Disney had the story tested by Sindlinger and North obligingly made the Workshop-indicated alterations (which he says were minor). Since then the book has sold 25,000 copies. North was "genuinely converted," he said. "People who scoff at poll-taking . . . are scoffing at democracy...
