Last year, my pal Larry Whiteley at Bass Pro Shops gifted me with a new turkey vest. Larry knows I struggle enough as it is in the turkey woods, trying not to sound like the biggest loser librarian of a hen that none of the big boys, aka toms, want to visit.

On three occasions, I had toms coming toward me, but when they got close, they ran away.

Imagine that it’s the middle of the Cold War. In an Asian country there’s a revolt against a dictator. The opposition wants international recognition, so it seeks U.S. help. And the American government turns over direct management of this process to … Communist China! The resulting coalition is largely dominated by China’s allies, the Communists, whose numbers far exceed their proportional role in the revolution. Some anti-Communist activists walk out in protest, but it makes no difference. (more)
