...Amour has also written a dozen volumes about the Chantrys and the Talons, two other hard-riding families linked to the Sacketts by marriage. The latest L'Amour western omelet is highly seasoned and full of natural ingredients: the proud, individualistic Sackett brothers, Tell, Orrin and Tyrel, drive a herd from Colorado to Canada, answering an urgent call for help from Cousin Logan.

The Senators were questioning Vesco last week as part of a Senate Judiciary Committee study of pending Justice Department cases. Because Vesco has a reputation as a conman, his charges aroused skepticism-and, indeed, Vesco later seemed to back off. But Hatch and DeConcini are planning to dig deeper...
