Affluence in Red. Flame-haired "Red" Adair learned his rare trade in 16 years with tough old Myron Kinley, dean emeritus of oil fire fighters, set up his own company four years ago when Kinley retired. Already this year, the burly Adair and his two apprentices, Asgar ("Boots") Hansen and Edward ("Coots'") Matthews, have tamed 50 wells in Bahrein, Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Venezuela, Canada and the U.S. With an affluence known to no other firemen, Adair and his boys race to U.S. oilfield fires in flame-red Lincoln Continentals, fly in jet comfort to more distant alarms, and often...

Finally, Superintendent of Schools Hobart Corning warned the 2,800 strikers that unless they came back to school, they would disqualify themselves for all school privileges, would be denied the right to play on teams or to run for club offices.

Personal Demon. Hardworking, hard-cussing Kinley, a Californian by birth, has put out 300 fires, has few rivals (many other fire fighters have been killed).
