"When Pamela Bianco, now over twenty years old, was awarded the Guggenheim prize for her painting, she went back to Italy, where she was born. She remembered the beautiful old towns, the country, the rabbits, the flowers - but now the world of Italian painting and history came to her freshly. She walked the streets of Florence and lived in the Renaissance. And not only did it lead her to paint in a new way, but to write the beautiful prose of which this new book is an example." " The story of the little princess, about to go on her betrothal journey, wandering out on the hillside, awakened by a gypsy boy to the romance of life on the road, then saddened by the reality of his existence, is strangely moving.." [Quoted from the dust wrapper's blurb]. Very good .

He was drafted into the U.S. Army in early 1941 and sent to Camp Livingston in Louisiana. The Army became aware of his talent and transferred him to the Special Services Division in New York. In the spring of 1942 he was assigned to the New York staff of Yank, The Army Weekly. He came up with the new title "G.I. Joe" from the military term "Government Issue".
