When Curli flourished his flag at the start, 39 speed-happy cyclists roared off around the treacherous four-mile asphalt course. Soon, as expected, the race settled down to a duel between Italy's Umberto Masetti, 23, riding a Gilera, and Britain's Geoffrey Duke, 27, on his Norton.

But Keyes was killed and Rommel was untouched: he had gone to a birthday party...

Wrote he in the Listener: "The best analogy that I can find for the peculiar American-ness of such painters ... is to compare their products to those of American automobile makers . . . American cars are well-designed and well-built, sleek and shiny, and they are very comfortable, as cars...
