...powerful image of brutality. I broke the butt off, and with my knife I carved a gentler order of feeling, a mother and child." A few days later, on the afternoon of June 5, 1915, an other German weapon put a bullet through the Frenchman's head. Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, not yet 24, was dead...
...planned a spirited parade and re-enactment of the battle on the original site twelve miles south of Brussels (which was part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands' William I in 1815). De Gaulle delivered his opinion of all that to Belgium's Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak. Result: Belgium decided to stay away from the ceremonies, mainly on the ground that it was not an independent power in 1815, and the Germans and Dutch tactfully decided to send minor diplomats...
Knee Flexing. His timing was, of course, superb, since nearly everyone was mad at him. British Prime Minister Harold Wilson bluntly told the council that "no nation, however great, can think in terms of going it alone, without allies and without regard for world opinion."

But the quality and character of the order varies considerably from province to province. The Jesuits of Colombia, for example, are extremely conservative, while in France the order remains radical...
...General. "To draw up the charter of our independence," he felt, "would require the skin of a white man as parchment, his skull as an inkwell, his blood as ink, and a bayonet as a pen." Dessalines died by an assassin's bullet within three years. His successor, Henri Christophe, cared little for charters?black or white. He proclaimed himself King, set up a ludicrous aristocracy (including such titles as the Duke of Marmelade and Count of Limonade), and ruled as a merciless despot until 1820, when his officers revolted, and he committed suicide by firing a silver bullet...
