...many years, Señorita de la Jara immersed herself in Inca history and painstakingly catalogued tocapus. But she failed to find what she was looking for: an Inca equivalent of the Rosetta stone, the key that opened ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to modern understanding. Finally, she turned her researches over to Barthel. With the same shrewdness that enabled him to decipher several Allied codes during World War II, Barthel made use of an important clue in her material. Many of the Inca vessels bore pictures as well as tocapus. In fact, one common scene portrayed the act of toasting...

...relentless march to war that ranked with those of Vincent Sheean and William Shirer. In 1936 Gunther produced the first of his fast-paced, infinitely detailed books, Inside Europe. ("I wrote, among other things, that the Führer was nil sexually" -a bit of lèse-majesté that would have marked him for elimination if he had ever fallen into Gestapo hands); it was an instant success, and over the years was followed by "Insides" on Asia, Latin America, the U.S., Africa and Russia. Some critics scoffed at him us "the Book-of-the-Month-Club Marco...
