Ap Bia was the tenth case, one remarked on by Karl von Clausewitz. "It would be a great mistake to conclude that a blind dash must always gain the victory over cautious skill.

He also came in second in the high jump behind Kirkland's Mehmed Kayal, who jumped...
...officers are somewhat oppressive, but far more grotesque. All their actions indeed seem to spring from very visible eccentricities or deformities. The children likewise act from the nature of their visual appearance. Small and compact, they are energy-filled balls of light (their clothes are dazzling white) which dash around destructively.
