Observers awaited eagerly the assembly of the new Dail. There was always the chance that Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail deputies would try to enter without taking the oath-a move often threatened never attempted, and sure to lead to many a cracked Irish crown. Sober-minded Irishmen hoped that Mr. Cosgrave would consent to carry on, as before, with the readily obtainable support of the "neutral" parties...
...scholarship, of which he needed and exercised much in this book, comes from the old universities at Dublin, Paris, Leipzig.

That town is Cicero, Ill., a Utopian nook for the twins. Here on the western fringe of Chicago is a polyglot population of 62,000-Irishmen, Italians, Sicilians, Slavs and many another tribe. The Western Electric Co. employs thousands of them; other industries are near and plentiful. But it is to the gangs of the Bad Lands that Cicero owes its headline glamor. Up and down its streets, fiery Sicilians and raucous Irishmen playfully squirt machine...
