In Düsseldorf, Munich and other cities, where only a few years ago the ragged populace scrabbled through the rubble in desperate search for a single potato, rebuilt hotels teem with prosperous travelers, and the air is filled with shop talk and cigar smoke. In the Ruhr, bomb-shattered steel mills glow once more through the long winter nights. Germans who were once glad to sell their prized possessions for a few packs of cigarettes now have...

Then a daring cadet, taking the role of the rebel Colonel Capois, mounted a horse and led them forward again. In the real battle, the horse was shot from under Capois; in simulation, the mock colonel actually shot his own mount. Falling, he charged on afoot, like Capois, brandishing his saber...
...PAUL'S, at Broadway and Fulton Street, is the oldest public building in the city (Trinity itself has twice been rebuilt), and like its mother church attracts a mixture of local businessmen and tourists on weekdays, subway riders and society on Sundays. Like Trinity's celebrated churchyard, where lie Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton, St. Paul's also has historic associations; George Washington worshiped there when he was in New York...
