...heirs. Another 20% would go to Hart's actor brother Teddy; but upon Teddy's death this portion would devolve to the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, a favorite charity of Kron's. Teddy's son Larry, Hart's namesake and only nephew, would be shut out after his father died. Smelling a rat - or, rather, two: Kron and Rodgers - Teddy and his wife Dorothy sued them both. The mess took years to clean up, during which time Rodgers and the surviving Harts did not speak...
There are some bare patches on the southern slope, and white phlox flowers are already in bloom. Bees are at work on them. The season is short here; by September the snow will start again. The window of survival is very narrow on the Lolo. It nearly slammed shut on Lewis and Clark. We add a few more rocks to the cairns and take our leave...

McDonald's lost a number of workers who turned out to be illegal aliens, depleting its staff so quickly, according to airport sources, that one airport outlet had to be temporarily shut down. (McDonald's denies that it employed undocumented workers and says the closing was due to the voluntary departure of several employees.) Badges for people on the tarmac are checked constantly, and undercover agents occasionally walk about looking for suspicious sorts. But some question how useful all this scrutiny...
