But the quick, bright smile is as vivid as ever; the remembered throb of her voice still husks the rafters-a rising, clear-toned shout. At 53, Josephine Baker, the supple emigre from St. Louis who sailed into the heart of Paris on the high old tides of the '20s, is still a top banana of the boulevards.

For most Alaskans, each day is a dare, each night a doubtful victory. Territorial Police Superintendent Bob Brandt's meager force of uniformed police and U.S. deputy marshals patrol the vastnesses in planes, helicopters and on dog sleds, alert for signs of old trappers who sometimes die on the trail and are eaten by their dogs; for pillagers who ransack the remote cabins, where a food cache is a guarantee of life...
