Bundled into "association wards" (i.e., cells) in St. James Fort prison, the prisoners were forbidden to see their relatives or even to receive food from them. At one point, Nkrumah's strong-arm Minister of the Interior, Krobo ("The Crowbar") Edusei, inspected them along with an escort of guards armed with truncheons. Over the radio the government insisted that it had no desire to curb the opposition, even proclaimed the end of a two-month-old ban on political meetings. But The Crowbar, a mug through and through, was not yet done with his work...

Its high cell content buttressed his fears. While Navajo Nelson Bennett worked the field radio to alert the Navajo medical center at Fort Defiance for an emergency admission, Dr. Burkhardt gave Mary Grey-Eyes a massive penicillin injection. This would combat the infection if pneumococci, rather than tubercle bacilli, were the cause...
...either treatment or hospitalization. He ordered one of the clinic's two radio-equipped sedans rigged with an infusion bottle hung from the coat hook and bundled Mary into the car. A Navajo staff member drove the 90 miles (much of it over spring-breaking dirt roads) to Fort Defiance, while Burkhardt squatted by the patient, gave her a continuous intravenous infusion of sulfadiazine...
Taller than egos, Stetsons or oil rigs, the tallest things in Texas are banks.

The man who best combines such Texas talents is taut, wiry, fiercely competitive Fred F. Florence, 67, head...
