...Joiner, then a septuagenarian wildcatter, opened up the great East Texas oilfields in 1930 when he brought in his gusher, Daisy Bradford No. 3. Legend has it that soon afterward he lost oil leases worth $100 million in a three-day card game. "Anything you hear about the boom towns won't be an exaggeration," says H. L. Hunt, the multimillionaire, who remembers that holdup men were so common that he and his partners would always walk single file and 16 feet apart when they went to town.

...adds another pro-European voice to the Cabinet. A brisk and practical politician, Pleven served in De Gaulle's immediate postwar Cabinets, but went his own way after the general quit office in 1948.

The Versailles Treaty ceded parts of German territory to other nations and burdened Germany with staggering reparations. Though the moderate Socialist government had no choice but to sign the treaty on Germany's behalf, it afterward came under incessant attack from the right for that "stab in the back"-the allegedly ignominious capitulation to the enemy. The Weimar Republic was already fatally weakened from its inception...
