Rommel's smart tactics had been as maddening as the khamsin, but neither Rommel nor the khamsin made restless British troops as furious as a letter seized from a German officer of the 104th Infantry Regiment. The letter gave credit to the English as "coldblooded infighters, arrogant and proud" prisoners, but concluded: "So far his tank tactics have shown no conception of concentration of force. . . .

As always, this opened on the anniversary of that day (April 6) in 1830 when Prophet-Founder Joseph Smith with six others organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fayette...
Proceeding extemporaneously with prayers, speeches and hymns sung to the Tabernacle organ, one of the world's mightiest, the 104th Conference touched little upon secular problems. Of interest to the Latter-day Saints were reports on their church's huge investments in mines, rails and sugar beets, the extent of which they wisely keep secret...
