...also took in hand Johnson's own powerful .300 Magnum rifle with a telescopic sight and brought down a ten-point buck deer, at 309 paces, with a bullet right through the heart. Exulted Democrat Johnson: "The best deer killed in this part of the country this season!" Later, spic and span except for a spot of blood on his khaki pants, Hunter Kefauver met newsmen with his feat in his mouth, neatly tied the story in with his White House yearnings: "If I get down and start seeking [the presidential nomination], I hope I have that same sort...
This invitation to experts to change their beliefs about mechanisms of im munity was offered by Drs. William E. Petersen and Berry Campbell, who have been working on it (with a dozen colleagues off and on) for ten years. Paul ("Magic Bullet") Ehrlich had shown that antibodies, missing from the blood of calves at birth, can pass to the young in the dam's colostrum. It had been thought that the human species, whether babe or grown man, was unable to pick up these protective antibodies. Not so, say Petersen and Campbell: man and a slew of barnyard beasts...
...rival anything in Africa. A Montana bull moose 7 ft. tall and weighing more than 1,000 Ibs. is an adequate stand-in for an elephant.

Is a bear's eyesight bad? Should elk be hunted on horseback? Is a Rocky Mountain goat harder to kill than a grizzly? Fresh experiences refuel the old arguments every fall and keep them raging until the next big-game hunting season comes around...
Five minutes later, they are digging the body up again. The captain has discovered that his third bullet actually did kill the rabbit. "I think." he gasps, "that we are tangled up in a murder!" Half an hour later, they are digging him up for the second time. By this time. Harry is showing signs of wear, but Director Alfred Hitchcock is a man who understands that a good joke can't be kept down, and Harry does not rest in peace until he is ghouled for more giggles than he is really worth...
