In a scene reminiscent of The Emperor Jones, Magloire in full uniform paraded through town demanding that merchants open up. They either avoided their presidential visitor or refused his demands. Two days later, somewhat humbler, Magloire called in his constitutional successor, Supreme Court President Joseph Nemours Pierre-Louis, and turned over the office of chief executive...
...Hopper's self-enforced, involuntary leisure consists largely of reading, movies (he liked Marty), wandering the streets on foot, alone and lonely as a cloud, or touring the highways with his wife.

There are long queues for buses and trolley cars. There are endless day-long queues at the meat and bread stores for the basic food available: round loaves of dark bread and long Polish sausages...
...spent his life in education. Born in a dormitory at Kentucky's Hazel Green Academy, he graduated from Tennessee's Milligan College, immediately took a job as teacher-principal of the consolidated elementary and high school in Greene County. By 1935 he was state high-school visitor for east Tennessee. Four years later he became assistant school superintendent in Nashville; in 1942 he got his present post in Chattanooga...
