...Napoleon is advancing upon Moscow. Mere versts away, within the Russian lines, French Agent Caroline de Salanches is retreating equally rapidly from Prince Michael Dubrovin. During an orgy at his estate, Prince Michael has exposed Agent Caroline. In fact, he has left her without a stitch of covering above the waist. The air is filled with shrieks, screams and wolfish roars as the Russian nobility, ever lovers of traditional customs, pursue nude serfs round and round the banquet hall. But Caroline is resolved at least to keep her head. As Prince Michael bears down upon her, his "greedy and sarcastic...
...Frenchmen wept when they read in their newspapers one October morning in 1944 that Louis Renault had died in a Paris nursing home. He had been rich, powerful and famous, cantankerous, brilliant, often brutal, the little Napoleon of an automaking empire.

Last week in the French weekly Arts, Professor Leriche, now 76, reported that Sir Berkeley had said just enough to upset the generally accepted theory that Napoleon's death on St. Helena was caused by cancer. Did the British impose the cancer theory to conceal something? The magazine's sinister conclusion: Napoleon may have died of a tropical disease, brought on by his British jailers' refusal to supply him with adequate quarters and sufficient drainage. Napoleon's intestine cannot be produced to test the theory: it was destroyed by a German bomb...
