...Please don't," said the gentle old humanitarian as the boy moved to brush an insect off his sleeve. "That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs." Thus, at his jungle hospital near Lambarene, in Gabon, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, 88, showed that the years have not dimmed his credo of reverence for life. His visitors were St. Louis Ad Executive Lisle M. Ramsey and Ramsey's ten-year-old son Max.

He attempts an important voice, but most of the time he sounds like a small boy in a bathtub imitating Winston Churchill. He ventures a diplomatic brush, but his upper lip produces merely a promising smear. He sports an expensive cutaway, but the more he tries to be elegant the more he looks like a stevedore at his daughter's wedding. Through the stuffed shirt peeps the T shirt, and at his most ambassadorial moments Marlon is unmistakably a man who longs to scratch. The customers...
