...torn infant Republic of Poland, his board of directors thought keen level-headed "Sam" Vauclain had forsaken business for his favorite role of philanthropist. They worried. All Europe was financially unbalanced by post War deflation. Poland was still at desperate grips with the Red Army of new Bolshevik Russia. Furthermore, the Baldwin Locomotive Works was at the dangerous stage of turning from Wartime manufactures, productive of $250,000,000 worth of munitions and locomotives for the Allies, to peace time production for poverty-stricken markets. Answered President Vauclain, "To be a good businessman is to be an optimist. They will...

...First Law. In reality anything might happen if a bearded Bolshevik, a lovely Britisher and her fragile blue-blooded fiance were snowbound for several weeks in a one-room cabin on the Siberian steppes. But in the theatre only one thing would be likely to happen-after both men had been seized with an overwhelming urge for the maiden, one of them would prove a cad, the other would enjoy the cabin as a quasi-nuptial chamber. All this is true of The First Law. Since it was written by Dmitry Schlegov, a Soviet Russian, the British fiance...
