EXCLUSIVE:
REAL-LIFE ADVENTURE ... Ron Mulhern ... in the first of a new ARGOSY series on exciting first-person experiences, a couple on a camping vacation fight off armed marauders on a lonely Mexican highway.

THE PLUMBERS PLOT TO "GET" JACK ANDERSON ... George Clifford ... It isn't easy to stifle a syndicated columnist who talks to millions of readers every day, but some people in the White House tried -- any way they could.

COUNTRY MUSIC ... "Whispering" Bill Anderson ... The sound is a kind of soul music for the blue-collar white Southerner, a "white man's blues," and its appeal is growing. An insider tells why.

A WALTER MITTY GOES BALLOONING ... Bert Randolph Sugar ... In the 12 previous attempts to cross the Atlantic in a balloon, seven people died. Adventurer MALCOLM FORBES hopes his Challenge Number 13 will be the lucky one.

ARTICLES:
THE LAST CHRISTMAS SHOW ... BOB HOPE as told to Pete Martin ... The nation's top comedian has a message for all the American Gls he visited over- seas during so many satisfying yuletide road shows: "Thanks for the Memories."

JOHNNY CASH VS. MERLE HAGGARD ... Peter McCabe ... These two popular singers have two different personalities and two different types of country music. But who is the real king of country?

WOODY HAYES AND THE 100-YARD WAR ... Jerry Brondfleld ... Ohio State's bombastic head football coach has been described as "tyrannical, and callously manipulative," but the description that fits him best is "winner."

BO SCHEMBECKLER: A FOOTBALL TRADITION ... Will Perry ... And in this corner, Michigan's great coach who came to the Wolverines with a "commitment of success" -- and has achieved his goal.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN CONNECTION ... Michael Fooner ... When an alleged "Narcotics Kingpin" was tracked down and arrested, it hinted that South America may be becoming the new drug center of the world.

THE FLYING ACES OF WAR ... Michael B. Rich ... Ever since aerial warfare began, the term "ace" has become synonymous with "superhuman" -- and pilots like von Richthofen and Bong almost were.

MIDNIGHT AT TOLEDO BEND ... Nick Karas ... More than 180,000 acres of flooded timber make this Louisiana-Texas reservoir a natural habitat for bass, and full-moon fishing brings out the real "hawgs."

RED ALL OVER ... Red Smith ... The author recalls a time he hunted turkey with Rice -- Grantland, that is.

BOOK BONUS: BLOOD WATER ... John Crowe ... The dead man had known a terrible secret -- and he'd been murdered to keep it.

FEATURES: ARGONOTES; STOP TO SHOP; ARGOSY ADVENTURES; BACKTALK.
