Founded by a pious Mormon who reached Arizona in 1880, the Udalls now total some 400. Last week about 175 of them showed up in Mesa, Arizona, from as far away as Missouri and California for a weekend of picnicking, dancing, camping and familial yakking.

Last summer's macabre mass murders in Chicago and Austin seemed irresistibly fascinating to Robert Benjamin Smith, 18, studious, reticent high school senior in Mesa, Ariz. (pop. 50,000).

But they became oriented after only one or two landings, and reported that the runway tended to correct some of their errors in landing speed, degree of bank and point of touchdown...
