...spirit of the Salem witch-hunt haunts Washington again. Sarah McClendon's labeling of William A. Wieland and J. Clayton Miller, two State Department aides, as security risks, has aroused a storm of rumors and accusations which remind one of the days of McCarthy and McCloud. Although the President instantly rebuked Mrs. McClendon for her defamatory reference, her cry was soon taken up by Senator Olin D. Johnston (Dem. S.C.) and various House Republicans, whose opinions are presented in a recent issue of National Review. If such statements continue unchecked, Wieland's career may be ruined...
...would trade a boatload of Belchen for a single Auerhahn (European grouse), a bird so wily that one stuffed carcass is often all a man can show for a lifetime of shooting (TIME, April 28). The duckbilled, chicken-bodied coots that the gunmen slaughter in their annual Belchenjagd (Belchen hunt) are worthless as trophies, and dead birds are usually given to the nearest garbage collector.

...wife fell off a horse during a fox hunt, recalled the rich board chairman of a British appliance company, "and she went into Charing Cross for a tricky operation.

Domesticity sets in. A cave is found and furnished, and the men go out to hunt. Pretty soon they find something that pretty well fills the pot-a chicken 20 ft. tall. But next day they have trouble with bugs-bees as big as rhinos. And that same afternoon the island is invaded by pirates-just regular-size pirates. At the height of the battle, the pirate ship blows up and sinks. How come? Moments later, a weird figure comes gliding through the surf. It's a fish. It's a sub. It's-Captain Nemo...
Unorthodox Style. Part Indian, raven-haired Kenny McLean busted his first bronc-and took his first fall-at eleven on his father's cattle ranch in tiny (pop. 500) Okanagan Falls, B.C. "There wasn't much to do in 'Okay Falls' except hunt and fish,", Kenny explains, "so my brother and I built a chute and started riding." A natural athlete with superb coordination and balance, Kenny quickly learned to keep his feet loose in the stirrups, developed an unorthodox, righthanded riding style * that scores points with the judges and -baffles his fellow cowboys. Surprise...
