...Cushman Coyle has three reputations-engineer, eccentric, economist. As engineer, he designed the Washington State Capitol, worked on the New York Life building, served as technical adviser to PWA.

Since in these rustic parts there were no accommodations deemed suitable for high officers, these, on the first night, left their German troops sleeping in tents or peasant huts, themselves returned to sleep in hotels in Germany, hurried back next morning into Sudetenland...
