...night last week an edgy quiet lay over the border between Wisconsin and Michigan in the great Upper Peninsula sector south of Lake Superior. More than 270,000 armed Wisconsin men-enough for 18 Army divisions-huddled near campfires in the cold; another army of over 320,000 from Michigan waited restlessly near by, cleaning guns, checking ammunition.

Gordon Moore, sadly met at the East Denver home where they grew up and where their mother died last September. While pondering the sale of the house, the sisters packed off many of its furnishings to Goodwill Industries, only to hastily retrieve a couple of items (including their mother...
