...built a marble monument, bearing an image of McRacken's face and the legend: "Ici pour sauver ce pout, James McRacken, 315 Bataillon, U.S.A., se sacrifia le cinq Août, 1944." President Truman sent a message for its dedication; General Charles de Gaulle knelt to place a floral Cross of Lorraine. Through the years, schoolchildren replaced the flowers as they withered. Each Aug. 5, the residents followed their mayor to the bridge to pay their somber respects to Jim McRacken. Each Christmas, they sent a gift to McRacken's daughter. And, regularly, they invited Maggie McRacken...
...natural wonder at what exists; he shares it. From the seven tons of bells in Munich's New Town Hall to the address of the oldest house (No. 5 Burgstrasse), he makes his facts sound like discoveries and his Munich sausages appetizing enough to nibble. Edinburgh, with its floral clock, riot of tartans, and Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, gives Sasek's artistry more scope.

Some visitors from the Jewish community in Beziers, 25 miles southeast, reported seeing a floral design in the form of a Star of David on the ground in front of the settlement's common room, and an engraving of Moses on the office wall. Like Orthodox Jews in the synagogue, men and women are seated separately in the common room. But, says a local priest, "these are people who are seeking the truth, and for the moment occupy...
Four and a half pounds of such grave information, adorned with floral displays of sociological prose ("Grieving is a sense of reaction with motor implications"), are assembled in this handy encyclopedia of death. Financed by the National Funeral Directors Association, the book may indeed make one of the more significant contributions to the U.S. death industry since the invention of Frederick & Trump's Corpse Cooler. It goes a long way toward reconciling its readers to the sentimental (and expensive) horrors of the usual U.S. funeral. The rest of the world, it seems, is not much better...
