...Hollanders everywhere, a Philips' incandescent lamp bulb is as much a symbol of their country as a tulip. Founded in 1891 by studious Gerard Philips, 32, a professor at the Delft Polytechnic School, the company started out in an abandoned tannery making 30 light bulbs a day. Though Philips taught himself and then ten ex-farm hands how to make bulbs, he was no good at selling them. In 1895 the company was up for sale when younger brother Anton, 20, quit a promising banking career to take over sales, did so well that by 1897 the company began...

Hoyte became a Hanniphile in 1955 while studying at Cambridge. In 1956 he led a reconnaissance group into the Alps to scout various possible routes, settled on Clapier pass because it fitted most of the meager clues left by the historians. Ancient accounts say Hannibal camped two days at the summit: the summit at Clapier pass is flat enough and big enough to hold a Hannibal-sized army...
When war came studious, hard-working Lyman Lemnitzer was a major who had taken fullest advantage of the educational system by which the Army developed its peacetime professional officer corps to an astonishing level of efficiency. He had taught physics and allied subjects at West Point, was a graduate of the Command and General Staff School and the Army War College, and was accounted one of the Army's finest staff officers...
