Christopher Plummer, who was a concert standard pianist with a fine musical ear, was furious when his singing voice was dubbed in “The Sound Of Music” (1965), and went on a drunken rampage through Salzburg. (He told me in an interview that the dubbing incident was one of the reasons he was rude about the film.) This is Plummer’s original vocal performance of “Edelweiss” - a chance to hear the song as he recorded it.

Some impressions from Tuesday's test game of Pluie de Balles.
It was played on parts of two maps side by side; in the final big game they will be in two different rooms. In the distant back Southwould is held by a Naval bde, while Dunwich (foreground) is held by a Volunteer bde.

Ney's conversation with an officer, transcribed by Fezensac, showed how no predicament would subdue his relentless courage.
"What are you going to do?"
"Cross the Dnieper."
"Where is the road?"
"We will find it."
"And if it isn't possible?"
"It will be."
