Sitting Bull's death brought Red Cloud and Big Foot together and the cavalry chased them to a meeting with death at Wounded Knee. The seventh cavalry captured the two chiefs at Porcupine, ten miles northeast of Wounded Knee. Four Hotchkiss cannons were mounted on the hills, and the Indians were asked to give up their arms the next morning...
...missionary's son in Shantung province follow, along with some overdone conjecture about the psychological effect on Luce of the Boxer Rebellion, which forced his family to flee China temporarily when the boy was two. Then come a series of stories of Luce's rivalry at Hotchkiss and Yale with Briton Hadden, the eventual co-founder of TIME.

He also provided biographers with an indispensable, all-purpose anecdote, shouting at the preoccupied and serious young Luce...

The massacre concluded with a heavy snowfall that shrouded the dead and closed one of the most distorted periods in U.S. history...
...COMMUNITY was a lot like the old Yale, smelling of Hotchkiss and Zeta Psi. An ad hoc committee of Faculty and students was thrown together to find out what was going on outside the college gates, and started holding press conferences in William Sloane Coffin's living room. (The dean of the ad hoc press corps was a J. Press-outfitted Time reporter who later said that Coffin had been his Sacred Studies teacher at Andover.) The leaders of the group- Hersey and Coffin and Kenniston and Erikson- were the same people who always occupied centerstage at Yale...
