...BOOK IS basically the record of 200 old men trying to justify their lives to other men they had known 50 years earlier. Some of them tackled this task with the pomposity you would expect. Richard Walden Hale "finds that the best hobby is owning plenty of New England land." Ernest Blaney Dane wrote that "although his collection [of fine jade and crystal] is not as large as the one in the Metropolitan Museum, he believes it is finer...

Congressman Les Aspin, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, had earlier put forward a compromise that would continue research on the ATF but hold off on procurement, staying for now with...
