...both ends of the National Football League seems to center on quarterbacks but may also relate to passing times. Dallas was "America's team" as the country went western and cactus came to flower, when the majority of Charlie's Angels hailed from Texas, like the trashiest pulp novels and soap operas, and Easterners put up their own Lone Star cafés for two-stepping in boots and Stetsons...

He took on Paris in the 1920s with a sharp eye for a quick score, promoting himself as a pulp prodigy and becoming one of Josephine Baker's lovers. His invention of Maigret in 1930 soon brought him vast wealth, international celebrity and the freedom to pursue a more complete, often cruel self-absorption.
