A batch of the best highlights from what Bernard's read, .
So carefully calibrated was the flight, Smyllie recalled, that the men were "peeling the oranges" they would bring on board, to minimise weight. This didn't stop him his slipping two copies of the newspaper, fresh off the presses, under Fitzmaurice's flying jacket. Unknown to the Germans, it thereby also created a bit of history as the first newspaper to make the crossing. For this and other reasons - his parties were famous too - The Irish Times sounded genuinely emotional when Von Dehn left Ireland for Romania in 1934. A sombre editorial recalled the great optimism Irish people had felt during his early years, while regretting that he was now leaving a land "not far from despair". This bleak note seems to have been inspired mainly by the rise of Eamon de Valera and Fianna Fáil.

__the key to success in journaling is to write as often as you can. Even the most mundane things are sometimes the first in a series of events that build over time, and are worth capturing.__ In my journals are long arcs that begin with something as simple as—“Ran into Joe today, haven’t seen him in years”—that months later become: “We had a great Labor Day weekend at the beach with Joe and his wife.”
