...civilian clothes, so I don't shoot." Stopping at a small farming community, he gave a little speech on the schoolhouse steps, then sought out the village's old man resting near by in the shade. "How old are you, sir?" he asked one grizzled rancher. "Eighty-four," came the answer. "Ah, the same age as my grandfather," said Ky beaming. "I salute...
