Maybe Later? There are other pro-Ike forces working on Fine. One of them is a millionaire with a passion for politics and photography named Andrew John Sordoni, for years a close friend of Fine's. Sordoni, a son of one of Garibaldi's famous 1,000 who came to the U.S. in 1867, worked in the mines as a child, and decided to make a million. He made his million many times over. He owns 14 companies, is a director of 40 more, lives in one of his six hotels. He is also secretary of commerce...

And at his death in 1873, Giuseppe Verdi set to work on his great memorial, the "Manzoni" Requiem, and in heartfelt words spoke for his countrymen: "With him ends the purest, holiest, and highest of our glories...
...into consciousness during a quiet period of Indian history. The great Mutiny of 1857 was only a rankling memory, and the Indian National Congress, which was to become the first instrument of liberation, was a polite assemblage in morning coats. It was Western influence that made Nehru a nationalist. Garibaldi was his hero long before Gandhi was.
