...Brooke, polishing his gung-ho stanzas and dying of a mosquito bite en route to the Dardanelles, a dozen real poets like Isaac Rosenberg and Wilfred Owen were cut down. Georges Braque was shot and lived, but the war deprived the 20th century of the mature work of Franz Marc, August Macke, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Umberto Boccioni and Raymond Duchamp-Villon, as well as that of a young sculptor named Gaudier-Brzeska who might well have rivaled Brancusi in his contribution to modernism.

In 1952 Teichmann collaborated with Kaufman in the writing of one of Kaufman's last plays, The Solid Gold Cadillac. He was late in a line of distinguished collaborators who included Marc Connelly, Edna Ferber and Moss Hart. Teichmann approaches his subject with enormous respect. He usually addressed Kaufman as "Mr. Kaufman." For Kaufman was the professional professional, and a sleepless craftsman who believed that plays were not written but rewritten...
