...study desert ecology. A comparative religion course came alive through visits to Catholic Masses, Seventh-Day Adventist services, even a Satanic Church in San Francisco.

"I just go down there and holler at nine in the morning," says Math Teacher Ray Ditman, "and if nobody shows up, I go back home...
Much later, during the Truman Administration, Bob told his radio audience: "I loved the April Fools' gag a fellow pulled in Washington. He walked into the White House and said he was from Missouri, and before he could holler 'April fool!' he was a Cabinet member."

It's another one of those reactions I was talking about. So I don't know how much gas there really is, but I do know that not many guys can mask in only nine seconds. Most have sort of this fate attitude, at least I do. If I'm going to go, I'd rather go happy, sniffing on my amyl...
