...memoirs also trace the MacArthur clan back to its origins in Scotland seven centuries ago, and dip lovingly into the 19th century to resurrect the figure of General Arthur MacArthur, whose military career, from Grant through Dewey, rivaled that...

It would appear that if a Rumanian-born woman who is a Seventh-Day Adventist gets involved in a damage suit, she would do well to settle out of court...
