A Sword of Honor and Ney’s Fall from Grace
A historical note recounts Napoleon gifting three swords of honor after Cairo 1793. Ney received one in an imperial reception, later betrayed, arrested, and executed on December 7, 1815, the Bravest of the Brave. Murat, who held another sword, met a similar fate two months earlier.

Establishing Credit by Borrowing Against Wealth
A bank chief borrows $100,000 from each bank despite a $400,000 cash excess to keep credit alive. He believes an established line of credit is a major asset, ensuring readiness for future needs, even as others avoid debt. The anecdote contrasts this strategy with the narrator’s cash-only habit and later needing collateral for a small loan.

Twin Gods of War and Melody War Awakens Bismarck Mood
A German story notes how Bismarck was moved to declare war after a moody evening at the piano with Kendell, who played for him. The tale compares the moment to biblical Saul and David with Kendell as catalyst. A second anecdote recalls Gracie learning not to take gum and a child’s playful taunt about tastes.
