...airplanes for aerial observations. Soon after lunch on Jan. 14 their three important minutes came to these men. Cables began whisking the news back to civilization. The objectives and seeming successes of science had been: Data for determining the structure, shape, temperature, motion (if any) and "coronium" (unknown constituent element) of the flame-fringed corona-good photographs obtained with cameras up to 62 ft. long. Data to check Einstein's theory of "bent light," obtainable by photographing stars near the sun with a twin-lens camera- doubtful photographs taken. Data on lunar motion, obtainable by noting whether...

You consider every opponent a villain, and are convinced that no other genius ever produced such ideas as yours...
...France has been in Syria since 1919, partly by right of treaty and partly by right of conquest. The conquest element was the less important of the two. The French have never kept a very large army in the Asia Minor country and most of that army was composed of natives. The conquest was involved in the bombardment of Damascus. The commander of the French army issued an ultimatum to the Syrian government which was answered and given to the French representative in Damascus, who delayed it until the time had expired and the army marched on the city...
