...over to the Hotel Matignon, say the Brombergers, bringing to Premier Guy Mollet "on a silver platter the long-awaited occasion for intervention in Egypt." One interesting statement by the Brombergers that might salve some British consciences: until just before the Anglo-French ultimatum in Egypt, only Eden and Queen Elizabeth were privy to the plot. On Oct. 16, at the famous Paris meeting of Eden and Mollet, "Operation Mousquetaire" was decided on, but not until the French had reluctantly agreed to accept Eden's "embarrassing judicial fiction that the intervention was aimed at separating the belligerents and protecting...
...give him out to a pilot. Off on the pirate's island, Frederick believes the time has come for freedom, his nurse believes he should marry her, and a major general arrives with his seven wards which better fulfill Frederick's wishes and those of the sake of Queen Victoria's name and the revelation that the pirates are really noblemen who went wrong and will gladly go right...

...Chess. All three were caught up by the cubist excitement, but Marcel was the first to have his doubts about the movement ("too exteriorized"). In 1912 he tried using a technique borrowed from the cinema to add movement, painted his King and Queen Surrounded by Swift Nudes (opposite) to show off his theories. His Chess Players is a conventional impressionist study of his two bearded brothers (Raymond, left; Jacques, right) with their wives in Puteaux. In 1923, after a few zestful years as a leader of the Dadaists (see below), he decided to give up painting for good in favor...
