...showdown meeting of UAL directors at Chicago's O'Hare Field, Keck was told that he was out. The news was broken by the man who presided over the meeting, Thomas Gleed, who had often tangled with Keck. Gleed, a Seattle financier who made his money in lumber, is a close friend of Patterson and a keen fan of his fellow townsman, "Eddie" Carlson...
...guide, marsh warden, bird advisory officer, conservationist, naturalist and lecturer, he is a legendary figure in British wildlife circles. He is called Kenzie the Wild-Goose Man. He is also the Owl Man, the Weasel Man, the Finch Man−a caller of the wild who can lure a hare from its hole or a baby seal onto the beach. Thorpe can mimic 88 different bird calls, ranging from the swallow's high titter to the low cluck of the red-legged partridge and the sexy whistle of the gray plover...
...years of poaching Thorpe was fined a total of only $360 and had "four good guns" confiscated−a small penalty, he figures, compared with the yearly bag records he keeps in a blue notebook. In 1942, his best year, he took 48 pheasant, 72 partridge, 68 hare, 1 woodcock, 106 geese, 146 mallard, 231 widgeon, 193 shelduck, 2 shoveler, 1 tufted duck, 61 plover, 18 pigeon, 79 redshank, 50 knot, 40 curlew, 1 reeve, 1 gadwall, 1 pintail, 1 black-tailed godwit, 2 whimbrel and 6 rabbit. In the early 1960s, the invasion of the marshes by wildfowling clubs...
...Spencer Davis Group and any number of Paul Revere and the Raiders songs. "My Sweet Lord," a Top 40 hit, is musically a direct steal from the Chiffons' great "He's So Fine," and must have been done as a deliberate goof. There is something genuinely funny about substituting "hare krishna" for "dulang dulang dulang." "If Not For You," a Dylan song, is done slower than the original version on the New Morning LP and sounds better. The lyrics to most of the songs are about God and Jesus and sound best if you ignore them...
...life, Nasser stood for no doctrinaire political ideology. His movement, he admitted, was "a revolution without a plan." More precisely, it was a revolution to rid the Arab world of foreign domination?a job that was bound to involve tragic excesses. Former U.S. Ambassador to Cairo Raymond Hare has characterized it as "a revulsion rather than a revolution." Convinced that Israel's statehood represented part of the domination that he detested, Nasser felt compelled to waste Egyptian resources in military conflicts with the new nation. At home, he became a dictator who jailed his political opponents and spied on outsiders...
