...with DiMaggio's money. The papers all ran big stories on the East Side Earp, as one reporter called him, but Charlie was fed up with public ity. "Patting you on the back," snapped Charlie, "doesn't put butter on my ta ble. It doesn't feed the family." And nothing seems to keep bandits out of his shop. The only way to do that, Charlie figures, is to get into some safer business - like police work...
...society's annual summer outing at Fort Hunt, Va., just outside the capital. He like to died of hunger before he finally made it over to sample the barbecue spread set out by the President's favorite outdoor cook, Walter Jetton, who rustled up a pretty flamboyant feed of briskets from 200 head of cattle, 600 Ibs. of spareribs, and other Texas refreshments, including 55 gallons of six-shooter coffee.

But somewhere among India's millions, among the young who hunger for education and get it, there will doubtless emerge a dynamic leader to rally...
...brass tumbler of scalding black tea. Ramoo owns only two bullocks, and with them he plods across his barren acres, dragging a steel-slivered plow designed in prehistory by some Indian prototype who faced the same harsh, crumbling earth. In a year, he raises scarcely enough to feed his bullocks. For lunch Ramoo eats another chapatty covered with watery gruel, and perhaps a slice of mango chutney hoarded by his wife to give the food some flavor. Then back to the plow...
