...spindly of frame but hot of head. Too young to do much personal damage in the Revolution, at 13 he joined the Army, was taken prisoner. After the War, as a law-student in North Carolina, he was known as "the most roaring, rollicking, game-cocking, horse-racing, card-playing, mischievous fellow that ever lived in Salisbury." His mother's parting advice he never forgot: "Andy . . . never tell a lie. nor take what is not your own, nor sue . . . for slander. . . . Settle them cases yourself." Andy settled them, he never sued. When he courted Rachel Donelson Robards, another...
...Remarque wore a uniform of a Lieutenant of the 91st Infantry Regiment, whereas the President of the Reichs-archiv has officially denied that his name appears on record. And ten years later he was calling himself Frieherr von Buchwald, known as Remark, and had a coronet on his visiting card.

Mayhem and yellow faces are allied for eternity in the card files of the Amalgamated American Cinematic Producers Inc. The "Son-Daughter" follows an ancient and well worn path. There are hatchet-men lurking in every misty street; twitching bodies are hurled from burly coaches into squalid streets; gentlemen with slanted eyes find their necks stretched in uncomfortable machines while a merry troop of rats nibbles their big toes; there is the sparse fellow with a shredded wheat beard who carries poison under his finger nails. And just because 5000 miles away a Revolution is being conducted in China...
