...Bloodied Log. Lillian Oetting had promised to telephone her husband that night. When she failed to call, George Oetting tried to reach her. Nobody at the lodge seemed to question the fact that the women's beds had not been occupied. "Sometimes," says a waitress, "women get together in another room and play bridge and talk all night." Next day Oetting again tried vainly to call his wife. Then he called the police...
...Inferior logs of sandalwood have already arrived at Luangprabang, the gifts of rich and poor alike. Each log bears the name and address of the sender, and will be piled on a hilltop in October to serve as a sweet-smelling funeral pyre for the dead King. When the royal tree is at last found, the news will be spread by couriers, bronze drums, temple gongs, buffalo-hide tom-toms and by telegraph...
Being a great-great-grandson of Rachel and General Andrew Jackson, I was shocked and humiliated when I read [Jan. 18]: "His devoted, pipe-smoking Rachel cheerfully put up with log cabins for 15 years before they realized their dream of the grand white-colonnaded house of their own."

He also thinks he can make money retrieving pulpwood "worth at least $2,000,000" that lines the harbor bottom at Thunder Bay (about one pulpwood log in 20 sinks during rafting and water storage).

...scene than the dinner parties for 90, presided over by vivacious Dolly Madison, "a fine, portly, buxsom dame." Virginians not only maintained standards; they set them as well, as Frontiersman Andrew Jackson's Hermitage (opposite) proves. "Old Hickory" and his devoted, pipe-smoking Rachel cheerfully put up with log cabins for 15 years before they realized their dream of a grand white-colonnaded house of their own. Jackson built the Hermitage in 1819, four years after the Battle of New Orleans. Rachel tragically died 2½ months before he entered the Presidency. During his final years in the Hermitage...
