Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day, in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair.

On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon, the Army dentist yanked out most of his teeth.

On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for fifty-one years.
