...last week Brigadier General Francis T. Dodd, commander of the U.N. prison camp on bloody Koje Island, was standing at the gate of Compound 76, talking to a group of prisoners inside, most of them hard-core Communist North Koreans. With him was one of his staff, Lieut. Colonel Wilbur Raven. As they talked, the compound gate was opened to let a work detail out. Suddenly a group of prisoners darted out, seized the two U.S. officers, and started to drag them into the barbed-wire enclosure.

On most of the statues, two names are inscribed. The first is the sculptor's; the second is that of the man who turned it into bronze, Eugene Rudier, the foundry...
...orders were piling in. Lean and a little tired with age, Rudier walked through his foundry, supervising blue-overalled workers as they put the finishing touches to a massive statue by Henri Laurens for the Paris Museum of Modern Art. There was a casting of Rodin's huge Gate of Hell to be shipped 13,000 miles to a Tokyo museum, a repair job on three nymphs and two water-spouting dragons from Versailles' fountains, an order from Rotterdam to cast a statue by Zadkine commemorating the city's ordeal under Nazi bombs...
