...century. Eighteen hundreds-for those of us without good historical understanding they can at least be approached in crude chronology. Between the war for independence (revolutionary) and the freeing of the slaves, there was another large war, of opposing directions and, at an off-Broadway production of Our American Cousin, the sudden death of our president, a good man.

...students in particular embodied the conflicts between the older order and the new. Along with college students, they have fewer emotional ties with the old South and are thus more receptive to ideas from outside; but unlike college students, they are still under the control of their parents.

The pseudonym was eventually carried over to a monthly detective-story magazine, a long-lived radio program and a television series. All told, including short-story anthologies, Ellery Queen enjoyed book sales of 125 million.
