From the back seat of his limousine last week he admired anew the classic lines of the Supreme Court building, he pondered the herd of joggers around the Tidal Basin ("Must do this on their lunch hour...

When drought threatened the King herds in 1917, Kleberg painstakingly began breeding Indian Brahman bulls with Texas shorthorns to produce a new and hardy breed, the Santa Gertrudis; their toughness enabled him to expand to such forbidding pastures as the Brazil ian jungle, Australia's outback and the plains of Morocco.
