...TIME meant Morons. A branch of the Moron family, Venezuelans, has lived at St. Thomas (Virgin Islands) some hundred odd years, owns the Country Club field on which Col. Lindbergh landed. They are neither Moros nor morons...

After the Armistice he received the highest honors from his allies, among them the United States, which he visited...
