Last week, on the eve of the "three glorious days," the French welshed, irritated with Morocco's increasingly active support of the Algerian rebels...

A penniless knight-errant, Freud was quite a gallant: "What can it be that you want ... a tooth out of the Caliph's jaw, a jewel from Queen Victoria's crown, a giant's autograph, or something equally fantastic which would mean putting on my armor at once and setting out for the Orient?"
