I didn't know what kind of ride to expect from Tim, who was silent as always, and not one for excess. So, as the ski-doo started to roar, and Tim drove off wildly--almost hysterically--into the mist, the forest, the hills, I was scared.

With stout oak clubs they move systematically through the herd, beating the whitecoats to death with raps on the skull. Only if a hulking 300-lb. cow seal chooses...
...didn't seem to make sense for Palmer to represent himself as an expert on art." What did make sense was arranging singing lessons for Gary Player, presumably in preparation for the day when Ed Sullivan calls. Everybody is calling for Jean-Claude Killy. Since signing the Olympic ski champion ten months ago, International has won him a thumping $2,000,000 in endorsements...
