While Hoffa's aides in Washington were buttonholing Congressmen in an effort to kill or soften the bill-aimed principally at the Teamsters' own flagrant abuses of power-Boss Hoffa popped into Nashville to blow the horn not only on the legislation but on his archenemy, A.F.L.-C.I.O.

For food they had one C-ration can, a share in a live chicken. (New problem for the city-bred: how to kill and cook it.) They had learned in earlier problems to live on snake meat in Florida's Everglades, cross open country on a run (about five miles every 40 minutes). Sent to tactical units, the Rangers are under orders to set up five-week courses of similar toughness throughout...
