David McDonald is a big (6 ft. 2 in. 220 Ibs.) man and true, who eats his buffalo liver raw and sometimes wonders whether he is a man or a moose. In the 23rd book of his long and musky career, saga-gaga Novelist Vardis Fisher (Testament of Man, seven volumes so far, five to come) surrounds David & Co. with tons of Indians-bucks, squaws, half-breeds-plus prairies full of buffalo meat, oceans of rum, and a plot made of walrus blubber.

He failed, largely because the camera never showed anything but the back of Einstein's head and because the human-interest anecdotes (Einstein flusters a colleague's wife by telling her how to cook calf's liver; Einstein flusters the parents of a little girl by doing her arithmetic homework) were played at tedious length. But Montgomery, who is also the White House television adviser, was consoled for his failure when he learned that President Eisenhower's TV speech explaining his veto of the farm bill...
