Inside, a portrait of the blond, blue-eyed proprietress smiles down from above the hearth at the waiters rushing between nine tables and an array of smorgasbord in the middle of the room. When the aroma and the candlelight have created the proper mood, grab a plate and sample the display of food. "Take all you can eat, but eat all you take," is the menu's advice. Ignore...
...Pointers who later became national heroes: MacArthur, Patton, Bradley, Stratemeyer, Wainwright, Van Fleet, and in the scene depicting the first Army-Notre Dame football game of 1913, a fierce young Notre Dame end, Knute Rockne.

He said, "I missed," so the crowd around him would not think that he was actually aiming...
...year-old Juanito has just completed his secondary education at Madrid's aristocratic St. Isideo high school and is at present staying with his exiled parents in Estoril, Portugal. The question, already taken up in an exchange of letters through ducal couriers, was how the slim, shy, blond Juanito should be trained as absolute monarch over what may well prove to be a turbulent Spain. Franco gave Don Juan a fill in on latterday Falangist philosophy, talked about Spain's need for autocratic rule in order to avoid opening the door to "chaos" (i.e., democracy...
