Its frank melodrama is based on the Mexican border legend of a rough-riding Robin Hood of the last century whose caballeros jubilantly bedevil the inept soldiery, pink villains neatly through the heart, are never too preoccupied to sing a rousing song or chuck a cantina girl jovially under the chin...
Meantime, the warring races continued to bedevil one another. In the preponderantly Arab city of Jaffa, Arabs set fire to a few Jewish shops.

As virtual Governor during the fatal six-month illness of Wartime Governor Ernest Lister...
...confronted with a second Bonus March on the capital. His method of handling it was in marked contrast to that of his predecessor. Opposing prepayment of the Bonus no less firmly than Mr. Hoover, he used the regular Army to befriend the bonuseers upon arrival instead of to bedevil them upon departure...
