Jackson documents one of the periods       of change in the Ranger Service that makes it necessary to read from a       variety of eras to gain an understanding of the evolution of the       organization and it's people. Compare to John Hughes' Border Boss for       the first half of the century.                     --        Gerald Clough        "Nothing has any value, unless you know you can give it up."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
