It is one of [.'51 THE CRESCENT twin bas-reliefs in Oriental vein, the two largest art- projects on the Island, one of which depicts "Light" and the other, "Darkness." It is the latter which sprang from Mrs. Braghetta's vivid imagination. In a large, flat panel, twenty-seven feet by eighty-three, she has portrayed "mankind in darkness, groping hopelessly, seeking help and guidance from some Divine Presence or Spirit, which itself has become overshadowed with clouds of confusion." The relief, powerfully conceived and atmospherically intense, is fashioned of plaster covered with metal leaf. The figures and treatment are reminiscent of the sculptured towers and walls of .Angkor-Vat.

    In the Memory of David H. M. Brooks Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life (1925) Also Known As: Grass Grass, the Epic of a Lost Tribe Running time: 71 min Country: USA Colour: Black and White Sound Mix: Silent Image: 200px Directed & Produced by: Merian C. Cooper Ernest B. Schoedsack Released : 20th March, 1925 1 Merian Caldwell Cooper Date of birth: 24th October 1893, Jacksonville, Florida, USA Date of death: 21st April 1973 Merian Caldwell Cooper entered the U.S. Naval Academy with the class of 1915. He left in his senior year. In 1916 he joined the Georgia National Guard to help track down Pancho Villa in Mexico. After World War I, a new independent Poland was created from territory previously held by Germany, Austria, and Russia. Poland thus regained the independence it had lost in 1795. Almost immediately the new Polish Republic was invaded from the east by the Bolsheviks. In the spring of 1919, as a former U.S. Air Service pilot in France, he was visiting the Polish battle lines as the head of American relief work in southern Poland. When he saw the sacrifices being made by the Poles to defend their new nation, he thought up the possibility of an American volunteer squadron, similar to the Lafayette Escadrille of 1916, to assist them. He immediately went to Paris where he met a friend, Cedric E. Fauntleroy, who had been a combat pilot during the war. Together, they were granted official permission to recruit former U.S. airmen to form a Polish squadron. Seventeen Americans volunteered their services to Poland and they formed the Kosciuszko Squadron, named in honour of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the Polish patriot who had fought so well in the American Revolution under George Washington.

    World War I and the Invention of American Intelligence, 1878 - 1918 by Mark Stout Submitted in accordance with the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The University of Leeds School of History Leeds, United Kingdom June, 2010 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. Acknowledgements PhD. dissertations often blight the lives of their authors. Such was not the case here. Many people deserve credit for this fact. First among them is Professor David Alvarez for giving me the original idea. I would never have thought of it. Thank you. Secondly, of course, thanks to my adviser Professor John Gooch. It was an honor and a privilege to work under his tutelage. It has also been delightful to study at Leeds where I lived as an 8 year old while my father was a visiting member of the faculty. Thanks are also due to Dr. Wick Murray for repeatedly telling me to hurry up and for providing various other forms of help. Thank you also to Mark Whisler for pointing me toward important resources when I was just starting on this project. At various times Michael Warner, John Fox, and John Schindler also did the same. I further owe thanks to John Schindler for introducing me to Professor John Ferris. Schindler, Ferris and I, in various combinations, had several stimulating and useful discussions of intelligence, typically over beer.
