Enter Brett Ashley. Chances are that Harold Loeb would never have been a character in a Hemingway novel if Duff Twitchell had not riveted his eye in the mirror of the Select Cafe in Paris and said, in her low, exciting voice, "It is the only miracle"-meaning love. Duff took love and drink in immoderation. Depending on the flow of checks from England, she and her upper-Bohemian lover, Pat Swazey, lived on champagne or birdseed.

In and out of favor in the U.S., he won his greatest success in Europe, became the idol of Paris cafe jazz buffs, who named 40 or more children after him. High point of a flamboyant career was his 1951 marriage to German-born Elizabeth Ziegler. Ten jazz bands played wedding music; flocks of jazz fans sang and danced in the streets; doves and champagne surrounded the couple as they jogged along...
...essay. Also included in this issue is a short piece in French, which, after reading, I leave for the more esoteric to interpret, and an enigmatic scrawl on art and Ezra Pound written for a very special "in-group" to discuss over their Turkish tea at the Cafe Mozart...
