Boars on Horseback. Preserves are nothing new. New Hampshire's 25,000-acre Blue Mountain Forest Inc. was stocked in 1890 with deer, antelope, moose, elk, caribou, and Himalayan mountain goats. Railroad Magnate Austin Corbin chased boars there on horse back with javelins. Today, there are nearly 2,000 preserves in the U.S.-most of them open to anybody with a box of shells and a handful of greenbacks. Some are nothing more than dusty, played-out farms, stocked with a few pheasants and partridges. Others cater to the whims of an affluent society...
...rugged, remote northwest corner of Montana, the Yaak River Valley is a picture postcard of some yesteryear. Moose muse among the willows. Elk graze on the slopes. White-tailed deer browse in the bottom land. Deep among the whispering pine and the hemlock, among the silver aspen and birch, the bears dig into windfalls for grubs. Rainbow trout, cutthroat and whitefish tumble in Beetle and Winkum Creeks...
...sign himself "Marty Marty." A hard-traveling (20,-000 miles so far this year) graduate of Missouri's Concordia Seminary, the Rev. Dr. Martin Emil Marty, 35, is an associate editor of the Christian Century and founding pastor of the big Church of the Holy Spirit in Elk Grove Village, 111., a Chicago suburb.-His own literary productivity is positively staggering: in the past five years he has written more than 300 articles, and in 1963 alone he will have overseen the publication of six books bearing his name as sole or joint author...
...looks like an English nobleman stalking an elk. His mustache would shame a venerable walrus. He is Theodore Sizer, 71, Professor emeritus of the history of art at Yale, a Harvard graduate ('15) and a 20th century go-getter who gets up and goes in unmistakable 18th century style. Since his 1957 retirement from teaching, "Tubby" Sizer has continued to design the banners and coats-of-arms for Yale's schools and colleges, had previously been cited for "all manner of felicitous embellishment," and last week was officially named Pursuivant of Arms, which Yale proudly proclaims...
...while it seemed that one first lady might not make it to her husband's inauguration. Mary Chamberlin Scranton, 44, whose husband Bill assumes office in Pennsylvania on Jan. 15, is an outgoing, athletic type. Last week at Elk Mountain, near Forest City, Pa., the Scrantons and their children went skiing. Mary and a friend, Lawrence Coughlin, took a chair lift to the summit, got stranded near the top. Down below, unaware of his wife's predicament, Bill Scranton began searching in vain. At length, Mary and Coughlin came skiing down to the lodge. They had been stopped...
