The inheritors of the authors estate are trying to locate people the author had met over his lifetime and during the second world war. This search for people L'Amour knew, is a section at the end of the book. Nevertheless, L'Amour is first, a judge of human character. After Sec'y of Commerce Brown's plane went down an exacerbation of events occurred. Apparently, a seder, or printed read-through used by Jewish people observing the exodus from Egypt at Passover at dinner, a seder or Haggadah was held in security by Muslims in Yugoslavia. Reading here includes _Black Land and Grey Falcon_ by Rebecca West, and the Vatican Codex Haggadah, _Tanna Debe Eliyyahu: the Lore of the School of Elijah_ translated from the Hebrew by William G. Braude and Israel J. Kapstein published by The Jewish Publication Society of America, Philadelphia, 1981. The _Tanna_ on page 16, that age at which Americans are given the privelege to drive (more road death from automobiles than all the American military deaths in all American wars) has this passage: "Blessed be the Preserver of the world, blessed be He in whose presence no man is favored more than another, from whose presence clear shining and light [come] to the world, from whose presence rains come to the world and tender grass comes into the world. The reward of the righteous who wear themselves out in study of words of Torah {the first five books of the Bible, starting with Genesis, also called the Pentateuch} is that Scripture regards them as though it is they who bring clear shining and light into the world, as though it is they who bring rains and blades of tender grass into the world. Hence it is said, [Because of the righteous]... {drinking and driving don't mix either, ask a qualified MADD}...clear shining, rain, even tender grass springeth out of the earth (2 Sam. 23:4)." The interesting story that relates to the Codex Haggadah passage is in this collection of Louis L'Amour's, _End of the Drive_. The name of the story is: "Elisha Comes to Red Horse". Do you know the difference between Elijah and Elisha in the Bible?
