...Buzzing Sound." What is more, Clyde is a self-trained naturalist who contributes scientific reports to the California Academy of Sciences, a pathfinder who has saved stranded motorists by skiing through blizzards with food strapped to his broad back. He is so accurate with a slingshot that he rarely has to resort to his .22-cal. pistol to kill small game. He scoffs at the idea of riding an animal up a mountain: "I can carry a damn mule faster than he can carry...

As soon as the Senate wound up its close REA vote (see The Congress), Morse stood up. Not so soon, said Morse, "did I expect that those of us who voted against the nomination of Clare Boothe Luce would be proved so right." He read off her horse-kick comment, argued that it showed he was right all along about the "emotional instability on the part of this...
