...slapping down trees and demolition and chemical teams fumigating and firing tunnels. By week's end, the 2nd Brigade had its breathing room-and 70 confirmed Viet Cong dead-in its first grim testing of the war. It may also have the war's second Medal of Honor winner: Specialist Fourth Class Daniel Fernandez of New Mexico, who died after jumping on a grenade to shield its blast from five buddies...

...such legends as the saga of the one-woman bawdyhouse in Columbus, N. Mex. Along the way he collects Western relics, including the stagecoach that may have carried President Polk to his inauguration. In July 1963 he learned that the New Mexico Press Association had held a dinner in honor of defeated' California Congressman John Rousselot, who is presently the public relations director of the John Birch Society. McGaw suddenly got excited about current events...
