Elizabeth and Paul, made for childhood, continued to live on like the occupants of twin cradles. Gerard was in love with Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Paul adored and tortured each other. . . . The same violent nights, the same clammy mornings, the same long afternoons when the children became estrays, moles in the light of day. It ended up with Elizabeth and Gerard's going out together. Paul went out in quest of his own pleasures...

Marignac was bigger than Nadi who, though stocky (approx. 160 Ibs.) is not tall (5 ft. 10½ in.) for a fencer. One of his most famous strokes is the "advance thrust"-a lunge made on the offensive which...
...will soon be installed as curator of a "Clémenceau Museum." Funds are rapidly being raised. Checks are mailed to the Clémenceau estates executor. M. Nicolas Pietri, at the Chamber of Deputies. The "museum" will be either the three-room, ground floor flat at No. 8 Rue Franklin, Paris, where the Tiger worked and died, or the tiny, one-story stone house with a partly thatched roof in the Vendee, where he worked and summered. Both flat and house were rented. Both will be bought, if the owners' prices are not too dear. Of his Vendee...
