...foul, rotting jungles of Indo-China, a Crimson news board candidate stands boiling lunch in his pith helmet. Cool, alert, with nerves of steel, one senses immediately that he is a man to be trusted. And small wonder, for he is. But he was not always so. Once there was a time when he was harried and driven by a domineering tutor and an iron system which kept him from becoming the man he potentially was. Now look at him. Pit him against the jungle.
