The German stepped forward, swung
the great two handed sword. and per-
formed the decapitation with consid-
cradle success. although he required
two strokes in which to hack off the
victims head.
The Frenchman took his position
and. with debonair grace. despatched
his victim with one stroke.
The American went to bat. After
gently feeling the edge of the big
sword, he drew it back. held it, poised
an instant, and-swish!-a flash. a
