RICHARD DIX IN “MAN POWER” Richard Dix has gone in for a newtype of adventure—mountain climbing in a caterpillar tractor. He tells us he had enough experience driving one of the big machines after only two weeks to make him feel confident he could operate the thing up the precipitous slopes of the Afalonc Dam, north-east of Sonora, territory where pack mules usually furnish the only means of transportation.
