That night, after curfew, two of the goth's military police stopped two women in the village street. The women explained that they were going for a midwife. The MPs went along, just to be certain. They passed an entrance to a salt mine. Said one of the Hausfrauen: "That's where the bullion is hidden." MP ears perked up: How's that again? The woman repeated the gossip she had heard-Germany's gold had been salted away in that mine...
...youngsters in a letter which was recalled in the Atlantic last week by his biographer, Catherine Drinker Bowen (Yankee from Olympus). The letter was written when the Justice was old, alone and with "no one to call him by his first name," to students who wanted to celebrate his goth birthday: "On the eighth of March, 1862 . . . the sloop Cumberland was sunk by the Merrimac, off Newport News.

This was a battle that the men on the ground would have to win or lose. Correspondents were allowed to report only that the Eighth Army was strong-infinitely stronger than it was when it broke at Tobruk last June, and only weariness kept the Germans' goth Light Infantry from marching into Alexandria. The dispatches were more precise about Rommel's known ground strength: two German tank divisions, two Italian tank divisions, two German infantry divisions (one motorized), about six depleted Italian infantry divisions. Rommel met the first attack with one German and two Italian divisions, held...
