...chances for the 1940 nomination. This irritated the President, who lectured his hearers about reading political implications into the appointment. But he, too, was sly. He explained that Indiana's McNutt should not be regarded more seriously as a candidate than any of a dozen other charming young men. What their friends in the "sticks" might try to do for them, said he, was beyond their control. Thus, for the moment, was Candidate McNutt relegated to the shadow of his superior, and the press thwacked one more time...
...Less than ten feet from one of our party was a charming little girl in her sweet innocency, by high-life rules paired at a table with a young man with a wife and children at home. All aglow in her youthful innocent glee she unfolded plans made to pair with him at each following public function, with an added trip during the lull at New York to visit a friend of his, to take through the highways, byways, hellish beckonings at every turn, through similar routes from which thousands like her never return...

Like many another Italian War hero, young Dino Grandi had turned to the post-War Fascist movement to satisfy an acquired taste for action. He rose fast and, as Chief of Staff for the Quadrumvirs, stage-managed the March on Rome and Mussolini's meeting with King Vittorio Emmanuele III. In 1929, when he was 34, Dictator Mussolini promoted him from Undersecretary to Minister of Foreign Affairs...
