...they automatically assumed had something to do with money or material goods. It was, therefore, a considerable surprise when R. Sargent Shriver Jr., brother-in-law to President John Kennedy and director of the U.S. Peace Corps, stepped down from his DC-3 in open-necked white shirt and grey woolen slacks. Making an eight-nation tour of Asia and Africa in preparation for actual Peace Corps operations, Sarge Shriver, 45, soon assured the Punjabis: "We come not only to teach, but principally to learn." As far as India was concerned, Shriver quickly demonstrated that he had plenty to learn...

Johnson lurched forward for three steps, only to freeze motionless-one foot poised ludicrously in midair-as the sound stopped abruptly. In such quick, sporadic scrambles, Johnson covered 150 yds. before he spotted his quarry: a green-and-grey bird with red-hooded eyes, perched comfortably on a pine branch. Johnson's double-barreled shotgun shattered the morning, and the bird dropped.
