...have been increasingly impressed by Leon Blum and Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos as two Frenchmen singularly ready to hitch their foreign policy to the apron strings of Downing Street. Last week French fiscal policy had been hitched, temporarily at least, to the apron strings of the Old Lady of Thread-needle Street, pending the arrival of Finance Minister Georges Bonnet. This nimble native of Dordogne, by far the ablest player of Basque pelota in the new Cabinet, will have his work cut out for him to get French finances in shape, but he seemed certain of broad cooperation.

...Shanghai, the respirator, continually working, was transferred to a tender and carried alongside the President Coolidge. Then for three precarious minutes the thread of Fred Snite's life was unknotted. That was the length of time it took attendants to take him out of his old respirator, carry him on a stretcher aboard the President Coolidge and insert him in another respirator.

Like Gone With The Wind and Boy in Blue, Bugles Blow No More strings its beads of action on the thin thread of a love story. The scene is Richmond, second capital of the Confederacy; from Secession Night to Appomattox. In 1861 Richmond was gay, prosperous, confident, the established capital of an established civilization. Between Mildred Wade, daughter of an aristocrat, and Brose Kirby, a clerk in her father's tobacco warehouse, was a social abyss nothing short of an earthquake could wipe out. But it was earthquake weather, and both of them felt it. Before Brose marched...
