...State Banquet in the Cattete Palace (Brazil's White House), "the noble and elevated" friendship of Brazil and the U. S. was Mr. Hoover's theme. It was the last speech of his tour and the longest...
...state banquet that evening, President Irigoyen, whose public silences have really been even more impressive than Calvin Coolidge's, surprised everyone by standing up and making a speech. Mr. Hoover had prepared a speech and given it to Ambassador Fletcher to read for him.

Moving maps give unity to shifting offensives, tiny cavalry in the huge honeycomb of the Carpathians. German soldiers grinning and eating apples as they marched to an imaginary banquet in Paris, airplane battles, mine explosions, Von Hindenburg chewing his mustache, the Kaiser, with his dwarfish, withered arm held sideways, looking gingerly through a telescope, Russians annihilating a last nest of snipers in a taken town; you find to your surprise that diagrams can be more exciting than even such...
