Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Echo, 1944 As I completed my column for the evening paper and prepared to go home, my chief, the editor of the New York Times, called me into his office. A revolution had broken out in Cuba, and I was to cover it for the newspaper. Being accustomed to hurrying off on a story like this, I quickly packed and took a plane for Havana at midnight. The stewardess on the plane happened to be a former classmate of mine, Minnie Ruth Beck, and she was busy making the passengers comfortable for the trip. Once I asked who was piloting our plane. And I was astonished to learn that it was William Gales, another member of the class of 44. Before I knew it, we had landed at Havana airport, and everybody began hailing taxis to take them to their hotels, or homes. Before taking a taxi, however, I stepped into the airport restaurant for a cup of coffee. Glancing around, I saw an old friend of mine, Jacqueline Morton, behind the counter busily mixing ice cream sodas. Although thirteen years had passed since J ack and I were together as high school seniors, I saw at once that she was still as cute and witty as ever. Seeing these three members of the senior class brought back old memories, and I had a desire to see the other thirty-one. But knowing that my schoolmates were scattered all around the globe, I dismissed this thought from my mind. The next day, I went to the War Department to learn some details of the war in Cuba. I was amazed to see J ake J ordan as the military advisor from our country. H was serving in the absence of Charles Earnhardt. After sending a short write up to the paper back in New York, I returned to my hotel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
