...After inspecting Battle Mountain Sanitarium, national soldiers' home near Hot Springs, S. Dak., the President said: "I want to see that old man alone." He left his wife and son in their motor, re-entered the sanitarium and sat down beside a stooped figure with cascading white hair and beard. The two talked for 20 minutes. Once the older man said: "Let's see. I saw him last in 1864." The old man was Hezron G. Day, 85, Civil War veteran, father of Admiral George Calvin Day, U. S.

So the hero, once a cocky pugilist of the alleyways, turns yellow. But later he braces up, rushes a machine-gun nest, falls, comes...
Jerry's charm was as shady as his sleek hair, his mesalliance and divorce, his cocktail apartment, his never mentioned publishing business (pornography). But Gay's family's intervention was not all that kept them apart the first time. There was Dolly Quinn. What remnant of decency Jerry had was in his feeling for her, a dance-hall hostess who really would not be kissed...
