Last week, settling back for a winter's hibernation in his white bungalow in Aberdeen, Hulet calculated his season's kills at 56, fretted to his wife about a lost dog ("Queen's a part of me, kind of wildlike and vicious to everyone but me"), and spun yarns to a visitor about great hunts of the past: "The closest call I've ever knowed, I shot a bear at close range that was tearin' at the dogs.

...Floating World. Despite a growing infusion of Japanese culture since the war, in U.S. popular folklore Japan still exists largely as an exotic cliche bounded on one side by cherry blossoms and geishas, and on the other by hara-kiri and kamikaze. Readers who suspect that there is more to Japan than this may find out precisely what by opening either of two handsome, informative, reliable and engagingly written books. Living Japan is a succinct introductory, from Zen Buddhism to transistorized radios, by a top U.S. scholar, Donald Keene, associate professor of Japanese at Columbia. Author Keene's book...
