...Maestro gets his laughs out of diablerie and the grotesque. "Horse in the Moon" silhouets a bridegroom, apoplectic with lust, and the head of a dying horse against a copper moon.

He worried himself half sick lest he miss "the fun" in Cuba and when he returned he clamored loudly for a Medal of Honor. Most thoughtful citizens were amazed that his foreign policy from 1901 to 1909 did not embroil the U. S. in hostilities.
