The-state of Michigan, encouraged by its success with cohos, stocked its streams with 800,000 Chinook, or king, salmon fingerlings last year. Next fall the Chinooks, which weigh up to 60 Ibs., will start running. Fishermen can hardly wait...

First, he had to pry his cast loose from the stylized posturing of the kabuki...
Biographer Allen Andrews, a British freelance writer, has sized up both Frewen and the times delightfully. He is right to point out that though other adventurers have enriched both themselves and vast territories with wilder schemes, they are perhaps less interesting as people.
