...left Columbia University for an acting career, went to Hollywood in 1916 and directed several silent movies, including Doomsday, starring Gary Cooper. When the talkies killed the silents, the adaptable Lee quickly met the challenge by turning out the grim, chilling Derelict and a cloak-and-sword drama, The Count of Monte Cristo, with equal dexterity. He retired in 1945 to his San Fernando Valley ranch but came back in 1959 to produce The Big Fisherman...

This year, buttleggers should gross some $500 million, most of it pocketed by organized criminals.

Later chapters pondering the fate of other European nations influenced by Bonaparte's power - England, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Spain and Germany - swell with so many scenes, leaders and wars that the reader is wearied by the sheer flow of words...
...American Rick Meagher started the outburst, tipping a Peter Brown slapper past Petrovek at 1:25. Mike Eruzione made it 4-1 just 40 seconds later assisted by Meagher (Rick). Ken Kuzyk followed with a goal at 4:08 and freshman defenseman Jack O'Callahan upped the count to 6-1 with the first of his pair...
