A quirky column blends humor and wordplay about cows, ruminants, and language. The author riffs on bovine biology, etymology, and a satirical take on Soviet farming myths, wandering through Washington life and local society notes, with tangential jabs at changes in embassies and neighborhoods.
The column details John L. Lewis and the UMW facing the Taft-Hartley law, with Lewis refusing to testify before a fact-finding board and pursuing a high court challenge.
