...Geronimo, whose life is an encouraging story. He led Apaches on the warpath three times over a span of thirty years before surrendering to General Miles on September 4, 1886.

...make himself a lame duck at this stage of the game-but if he does, he will face the toughest opponent of his career in Barry Goldwater. Though he has the unquestioned advantages of seniority and more than a little edge in sentiment (he can still recall seeing Geronimo's hostile Apache signal fires glinting from the hills), Hayden would be 97 when the term expired, and might have some difficulty appealing to the thousands of young, newly arrived Arizonans.

...Guests are flown in aboard Mrs. Post's 16 passenger Viscount, the Merriweather, then transported by limousine, launch and canopied cable car to her rustic aerie. The living room is furnished with stuffed bears, a cigar-store Indian, beaded rugs, totems, the war bonnets of Sitting Bull and Geronimo-all of which takes two servants four hours to dust. Each guest is assigned a cabin with one butler and one maid...
