Everybody fears Gut in Himmel. The old blacksmith says, "Dang your old liver pin." The props are out of the 1900 Sears, Roebuck catalogue - horsehair chairs, heaters with isinglass panes, Brussels car pets, claw-footed mahogany sideboards, a crokinole board.

His son, Jose Laurel Jr., spent four years as Speaker of the House, baiting the U.S. and sampling nightclubs. He lost his bid for the vice-presidency in 1957 after a tumultuous campaign in which he handed out switchblades as souvenirs. In the same election, Jose Jr.'s son, Jose Laurel...
