ABSTRACT
61 We go back a long way, Andy and I. Even before I could read, I heard the story of this Scottish immigrant boy whose rise to wealth and power became part of the American “rags to riches” legend. When I went to school, the teacher directed me to the nearby Carnegie Library, where I discovered Zane Grey and Richard Halliburton, who convinced me that I might someday play shortstop in the major leagues or swim in the Panama Canal. (I’m batting 50 percent so far.)
