...Newf. They slink and often have the breath of a camel; demand to sit in the front seat of an automobile, often requesting to drive; wake their owners in the middle of the night with loud snoring and blowing bubbles in the toilet bowl; are first to their master's bed and never give up the pillow; and when you take them down to the local tavern for a beer, they drool in their Budweiser...
...most formidable early foe of ratification appears to be Alabama's wily Democrat James Allen, a master of parliamentary tactics. He vows to smother the treaties with amendments that would, in effect, force the Administration either to abandon the accord or reopen negotiations with Panama.

After a few short stories in the manner of an Alaskan Rudyard Kipling, he scribbled a rattling yarn about a sled dog named Buck who, when his master was killed, turned wild in a snarling if romantic rejection of civilization. The Call of the Wild sold in the millions and made a myth of its mythmaker. Now, with the publication of two new biographies and the republication of a third, the question is: How seriously must...
