Invisible Participant. Transparent as it was, Vinogradov's attempt to detach France from its U.S. alliance was a measure of the breach made by the Algerian war in the free world's diplomatic defenses.

Among Hill's favorites were the rousing historical scenes of the great 19th century French Romantic, Eugene Delacroix, including The Algerian Combat.* Hill's own sound maxim, discovered early: good art drives out bad. In his last years, while the townspeople along "Jim Hill's main line" variously called him a robber baron or praised his drive and enterprise, the old tycoon used to spend hours every week...
