...passionate fight, antler-locked with a rival buck, for Faline, sleek and lovely mate. Dramatic is the first fleeting encounter with his father, aristocrat of animals. And not till he has proved himself worthy of his father's company does the old stag lead Bambi to a solitary haunt, and teach him the necessity of aloneness. He shows him a poacher lying foolishly shot to the ground, forces Bambi to realize that man is not all-powerful, as fawns and silly does suppose, but that there must be a higher power over...

It has become traditional to speak of the seat of America's most recent demagogue as the haunt of light fingered but heavy handed artists, notables for whom the open spaces of Cook country breed only potential victims or competitors; but, in the opinion of the clergy, conditions have reached a parlous state since the last elections, and it is scarcely safer there for a private citizen than it would...
