Through the bloody Wilderness campaign, Lee's 70,000 men retreated gradually, slyly. They nipped the flanks, punished the weak spots in Grant's army of 120,000. Always Lee divined Grant's plans; always Grant's losses were heavier. The quiet man in gray who never touched tobacco, rarely tasted liquor and never used a curse-word, persistently outguessed the smoking, drinking, swearing leader from the North. All the next winter Grant was held to the line where he had vowed to "fight it out if it takes all summer...

The proposed aircraft carriers are limited by the Washington Treaty of 1922 to a maximum of 27,000 tons each, a minimum...
...Smithsonian wrote the Wrights for a machine, the original "wings of man" was offered. It was gently refused with the suggestion that a later Wright machine might be preferable. It seems that the Smithsonian, honoring their secretary, had already in residence the Langley machine, placarded as the first heavier than air machine. Enlightening experiments had been made with this machine in 1903, but it is a matter of record that the Wright ship was the first actually in flight. Orville, grieved that his machine would not go to Washington, asserted that such was his late brother Wilbur's wish...
