TIME Correspondent Timothy Tyler last week talked with Chug Utter, a Nevada mustanger who in 20 years has "gathered" 40,000 wild horses, and in whose pen Rocky awaits his fate. Chug remembers flying over wild herds in a light plane and using a "four-ten sawed-off shotgun just to spook 'em. We also used an electric shocking machine, but we didn't harm 'em. That's all poppycock." Anyway, says Chug philosophically, "there's only one end to being a horse, whether he's a champion race horse or a plug...

There have been mornings with a woman which turned magically into afternoons-mornings that did kindly battle with the cynical didactic of the "Harvard Experience...
...most powerful context is provided. Prominent in the photograph, in as great detail as the rocks and sky and shadows, is the railroad curving through, the locomotive portrait-frozen in the foreground. It made everything all right. Made it possible to call all that land Colorado Arizona Nevada instead of a hard-consonant two-headed monster. Made it all as conceivable as the land beneath the tracks in Pennsylvania Massachusetts New York. New Mexico has nothing to do with an old namesake in Europe. Rivers are water not bridges.
