...occupied by Eccentric Millionaire Howard Hughes, midnight requests for odd items-once, it was only an upside-down cake-are promptly delivered. The hotel boasts that its kitchen can produce anything upon demand, even supplies a special $1 sirloin-carrot-and-peaburger for dogs. As a result of such tender, loving care, the occupancy rate has stayed above 90% for the last ten years, and the Beverly Hills grosses some $6,000,000 a year, making it the most profitable hotel, room for room, in the world.

Examining the cliche that "the battle is to the strong, that pity and affection are signs of weakness," Eiseley points out: "The truth is that if man at heart were not a tender creature toward his kind, a loving creature in a peculiarly special way, he would long since have left his bones to the wild dogs that roved the African grasslands where he first essayed the great adventure of becoming human. The human infant enters the world in a peculiarly helpless...
