...Cabinets two, or once, three years. But the average Cabinet is a mere coalition, whose chief preoccupation is not to make legislative history, to drive through well-formulated policies, but to keep alive, by ingenious jockeying, for perhaps as long as nine months. The Premier has but a shadow of Roosevelt's or the Prime Minister's influence his ministers are his "personal rivals of yesterday and tomorrow," only waiting until a new alignment of the Deputies will give one of them his own nine months' trick at the helm...

There in a chapel in the tall, block-long building which now houses the Institute, he pronounced his benison on its work. One shadow clouded the celebration.

From Revolt in the Desert, his own abridgment of his Seven Pillars of Wisdom* many a reader knows the salient facts of the most monumental chapter of Lawrence's career. His good friend Robert Graves's Lawrence & the Arabian Adventure filled in some further gaps. Now Liddell Hart, also a friend of long standing, attempts to answer all possible pertinent...
...m.p.h. gale out of the North screamed across Hakodate Bay as the shadow of night ran across the city, slid up the pine-covered face of Hakodate Head and The Peak, and enfolded the secret forts on the heights. The crows flapped up from the garbage in the slums to be whirled helplessly to the base of the two peaks, where they dropped on limp wings. Children hung their snow sleds beside the door and squatted down to a Hokkaido (Japan's New England) supper of fish, beans and rice. In the Bay a forest of masts swayed wildly...
