NEVER AN INTELLECTUAL GIANT LIKE DAVIS

MY 60-DAY time limit on letters is up, and now I get a chance to comment on that paragon of virtue, that incomparable intellectual, that steadfast, fearless patriot, that absolute genius. Yea, my friends, I give you Paxton Davis, nonpareil in anything and everything. Amen!

According to Davis, nobody has come down the pike, including intellectuals like MacArthur, Nixon, Taft, Churchill and Eisenhower, who can group those profound, difficult nuances to current affairs. Never in the annals of history have the people been so blessed with this intellectual giant. And if that doesn't grab you, David Rockefeller consults Davis every hour on the half hour to make financial decisions.

My, my, just what would we do without Davis? R. KEITH WHITLEY BEDFORD
