From Kansas City to a Farm and a Frontline Life

A Kansas City friend buys a small nearby farm as a hedge against hunger and a shaky economy. The piece contrasts urban glamour with rural steadiness, then moves through short profiles: Major Jerry Reed on the King Ranch myth and the loss of romance as Texas’s public highway cuts through ranch land. Other notes cover Slim Williams’s Alaska routes, Dr. William M. McGovern the Oriental politics expert, tax burdens, munitions work, and U.S. wealth consolidation.
