...reappearance was strange and almost incomprehensible, part of a Spanish past they never knew. Said Mayor Enrique Espinosa, who was born a month after Montalvo's ordeal began: "I embraced him and told him we all are glad to have him back among us, and he just kept saying Gracias, gracias, gracias.' We will never know what he did in the war and 11 never ask him. I've never asked my own father. All of that's forgotten...
...1950s, North Carolina seemed to be exporting even more home-grown university talent than fine tobacco. Traditionally agrarian, the state had little to offer college graduates, who kept going north for better paying jobs. In 1959 a group of public-spirited North Carolinians came up with a solution: a "research park."

But by 1965 many were faltering or had already failed, victims of an economic recession and a switch in priorities...
...Francisco attracts children to a place aptly named the Exploratorium.

Prussian Nights is the fruit of Captain Solzhenitsyn's participation in the rampageous march of the Red Army across East Prussia to Berlin in the last months of the war. As Solzhenitsyn tells...
...Cole worked for an American relief group in Paris, where he met Linda Lee Thomas, a sophisticated, beautiful-and equally rich-American divorcee. They married in 1919; thereafter, the Porters embodied the '20s dictum, "Living well is the best revenge." They discovered the Riviera before anyone else, kept houses in Paris, California, Massachusetts-and an apartment on the 41st floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan...
