He was the CIA's most effective agent in Southeast Asia, yet few knew his name or what he did. One high ranking diplomat wrote a scholarly account of the Secret War in Laos but didn't mention him. Didn't mention the guy who was literally running the Secret War during the years that this Embassy-bound "authority" was stationed in Vientiane. He was the number one expert on the political and military situation in both Thailand and Laos. Spoke the languages fluently. Understood the people and empathized with them. Knew all the all the movers and shakers and, just as importantly, knew the people at the bottom of those rigidly hierarchical societies. Knew the peasants and the press-ganged draftees who did the dirty work of war and suffered its losses. Knew everyone from top to bottom. Even knew HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. Spent 18 years in Thailand and Laos, married the sister of one of Thailand's most prominent statesmen. Held the rank of Colonel in the Royal Thai Police.Yet he was a quiet self-effacing man. Never out front. Working behind the scenes. No taste for either fame or fortune. Staying in the background until action was needed then striking decisively fast and effectively. Not what you would expect in a spy. Not handsome or dashing. Speaking slowly and carefully. Always to the point without so much as a single un-needed word. So reticent that many dismissed him as a low-level "field man". He didn't mind that. Such arrogance amused him. He knew what he was, and he knew he was in charge. He saved his brilliance for when it was needed and usually delivered it in writing rather than verbally.So, what exactly did James William "Bill" Lair do? He trained spies, guerilla warriors, and anti-guerilla warriors; directed a paramilitary army of 30,000 in battle; busted drug lords; ran an intelligence gathering net that spanned Thailand, Laos and parts of China; fed and rescued war refugees. That's just for starters. The poor fatherless boy who grew up in the rough vicious oil boomtowns of the Texas Panhandle during 1920s-30s, went off to the bloody beaches of Normandy, got a GI Bill degree from a Cow College, and carried his Texas backcountry twang to Southeast Asia may have sounded like a hick to his polished associates, but they often found that there was more to plain old countrified Bill than met their eye. Some came to call him "The Lawrence of Laos". Not that bad a description except that he was much more successful at what he did than T. E. Lawrence... and he never wrote any books about his exploits...So I have.

It is said that California has the most complete recorded history of any state in the Union. Contemporaries called James H. (Henry) Carson's "sketches" as the most correct eye-witness reports of early California. The U. S. Congress declared war on Mexico in May 1846, and sent four units to occupy and hold Alta California, with a view to its acquisition. Sgt. Carson's Co. F, 3d Reg., Artillery, the "pioneer company," arrived in California in January 1847, after a five-months' voyage around the Horn; the Panama Canal was not yet built. In 1847 Carson served as commissary sergeant at 10th Military District Headquarters. In this capacity he obtained food supplies from the Califor-nios and shared in their social life, making him an important person at Monterey, capital of Alta California. He was one of the few who did not desert his post when gold was discovered in January 1848. In June-July he accompanied R. B. Mason, Col. 1st Dragoons, and Lt. W. T. Sherman (later Gen. Sherman of Civil War fame) on the first official tour of the Northern Gold Mines. In August 1848, on furlough, he discovered Carson Hill, classic gold mining ground of California. In July 1849 he traveled with Gen. B. Riley, Acting Governor of California and Lt. G. H. Derby on a tour of the Southern Mines. Upon discharge from the Army in November 1849, he elected to remain in California, and became a miner. In May 1850 he served as guide to Lt. Derby, Topographical Engineers, on the first official survey of San Joaquin Valley. It was here he contracted a fatal disease. He wrote his "sketches" during this period of inactivity until his death at Stockton on Dec. 12, 1853, aged thirty-two years. Carson was a keen observer, and wrote about California's mineral and agricultural resources; land titles and public domain; establishing a state capital; the first State Legislature. He "saw the elephant." He learned to laugh at himself, and his writings reflected a broad humor as he wrote about his fellowmen

John W. Campbell wrote this for a blurb for this tale when it appeared in Analog: He contracted for a charter trip -- but the man who hired his spacer wasn't quite a man, it turned out -- and he wanted more than service James H. Schmitz was a heck of a writer, and this story -- "The Winds of Time" -- is fascinating stuff. Star ships, aliens from the future, time travel, romance, cannibalism, pet humans, and mute-but-brilliant aliens. . . . and, of course, it's got a hero who solves every problem by being smarter and trickier and better-prepared than we'd ever imagine being. But what would you expect? This story first appeared in John W. Campbell's Analog. Analog heroes did it with their brains. Us? We have to work.

ACCORDING to Plato's famous myth, two gifts of the gods equipped man for living: the one, arts and inventions to supply him with the means of livelihood; the other, reverence and justice to be the ordering principles of societies and the bonds of friendship and conciliation. Agencies for mastery over nature and agencies for co peration among men remain the two great sources of human power. But after two thousand years, it is possible to note an interesting fact as to their relative order of development in civilization. Nearly all the great skills and inventions that had been acquired up to the eighteenth century were brought into man's service at a very early date. The use of fire, the arts of weaver, potter, and metal worker, of sailor, hunter, fisher, and sower, early fed man and clothed him. These were carried to higher perfection by Egyptian and Greek, by Tyrian and Florentine, but it would be difficult to point to any great new unlocking of material resources until the days of the chemist and electrician. Domestic animals and crude water mills were for centuries in man's service, and until steam was harnessed, no additions were made of new powers.

MEET TRIGGER ARGEE. . . . SHE'S ABOUT TO ENTER THE MYSTERY OF HER LIFE -- IN LEGACYAncient living machines that after millennia of stillness suddenly begin to move under their own power, for reasons that remain a mystery to men. Holati Tate discovered them -- then disappeared. Trigger Argee was his closest associate -- she means to find him. She's brilliant, beautiful, and skilled in every known martial art. She's worth plenty -- dead or alive -- to more than one faction in this obscure battle. And she's beginning to have a chilling notion that the long-vanished Masters of the Old Galaxy were wise when they exiled the plasmoids to the most distant and isolated world they knew. . . . SHE'S ABOUT TO ENTER THE MYSTERY OF HER LIFE -- IN LEGACYHalf a block from the shopping center, a row of spacers on planet-leave came rollicking cheerily toward her. . . . Trigger shifted toward the edge of the sidewalk to let them pass. As the line swayed up on her left, there was a shadowy settling of an aircar at the curb to her right.With loud outcries of glad recognition and whoops of laughter, the line swung in about her, close. Bodies crowded against her, a hand was clapped over her mouth. Other hands held her arms. Her feet came off the ground and she had a momentary awareness of being rushed expertly forward.There was a lurching twist as the aircar shot upward.
