T.S. Eliot tells us in his poem “The Hollow Men” that the world will end not with a bang, but with a whimper. Well, he was wrong. Dead wrong.

WHEN M. JOHN FAYHEE first arrived in New Mexico's rugged Gila Country, he was a naïve 20-year-old who didn't know a javelina from an enchilada. Much has changed in the intervening half century.
