Milwaukee was muffled in the stillness of a 14-in. snowfall when the Hiawatha slid into the Milwaukee Road Depot one morning last week. In the parlor car someone roused the Senator from the exhausted sleep that had seized him as soon as he had boarded the train in Chicago one hour and 15 minutes earlier. Groggily, he shrugged into his overcoat, smiled wanly while his wife scolded him for having left his galoshes behind. Then, spotting a cluster of photographers on the platform outside, his eyes took on a ballpoint gleam, and he headed for the vestibule with...
Atlanta Correspondent Spencer L. Davidson drove into the Pisgah National Forest at the southern end of the Appalachians; Detroit Correspondent Nick Thimmesch made the rounds in Upper Michigan's Hiawatha National Forest; Denver Bureau Chief Barren Beshoar headed into the San Juan Mountains for three days; Albuquerque Correspondent Arch Napier trekked through New Mexico's Carson National Forest. In Washington, Bureau Chief John L. Steele mopped his brow, thought warmly of his colleagues in the cool forests, and with Chief Forester Richard E.

...cool green depths of Upper Michigan's 800,000-acre Hiawatha National Forest, amid the fragrance of sweet fern and venerable hemlock, U.S. Forest Ranger Edwin Youngblood, 38, eased his pickup truck along a sand-soft logging road one day last week.

It is a much better than fair first novel, although not a very robust one. It is really a school piece, full of ill-chewed borrowings from Joyce and Virginia Woolf. The hero is a sticky, artistic young man-a kind of underdone Dedalus-who rebels weakly against the smothering care of his mother. He gets some support from his friend, a medical student with the sour outlook but none...
...little girl's hands must be on the wheel all the way." During rehearsals she was consulted, says Jaffe, "on many things that don't really involve her." Of the 16 shows in the $3,200,000 series, she wants to star in three-Rapunzel, Hiawatha, and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow-and narrate the others (Rip Van Winkle, Sleeping Beauty, Ali Baba, etc.,). But to Shirley, the best feature of her Storybook is that most of it is filmed, freeing her for civic and housewifely chores around Atherton, Calif. (25 miles south of San Francisco), where...
