...Legislatures as the General Court of Massachusetts, and died aborning. But Nevada is not Massachusetts. Nevada is a thinly populated State where easy divorce, open prostitution, licensed gambling and legalized cockfighting are only the more luridly publicized manifestations of a free & easy, individualist spirit deriving straight from the mining camp and cattle ranch. Realism is lent to the prospect of a tax-canceling State Lottery by the fact that Nevada has already launched an arresting promotion campaign calling attention to itself as "One Sound State" which...
...Steel Lips went on to say he took up the trumpet at the age of fourteen and worked first as a bugle boy in an army camp down in Louisiana. "The boys came runnin' fast for eats when I let go on that mess call." And now his trumpets ("Lil' Satchel-mouth") don't last up long under Louis' lung power.

The ill fate that brought him his death in the hunting field five months later banished Marie from his land. Gypsy lore indicated that in four generations, when "the blood was cleansed" she might return. Back in Ireland after fleeing from the Spanish...
Real hero of None Shall Look Back is Nathan Bedford Forrest, guerrilla fighter whom Lee called the best cavalry leader in either camp, though they had never met (TIME, June 22, 1931). To rescue him from the half-oblivion in which he lurks as a semiliterate, half-savage raider, Author Gordon pens many a panegyric page, sometimes lets her feminine enthusiasm get the better of military idiom, as when she speaks of Forrest's horse as being "shot out from under...
