About the Book The life of Nelson Dean Jay is an opus sized adventure of the unknown banker who lived in Paris and influenced the powerful people of Europe as well as world events. During the Roaring Twenties in Paris, he was a friend of Ernest Hemingway, Coco Chanel, and Gertrude Stein. Jay was described in the New York Times as “one of the most civilized and authentic Americans in Paris.” The German Gestapo busted into his office to close down his bank. He was the only American bank to remain open in occupied Paris during the war. DEAN JAY, NOT J.P. MORGAN, WILL ACT ON GERMAN REPARATIONS. New York Times January 15, 1929. Jay was a member of the welcoming party for Charles Lindbergh when he made the first transatlantic flight—New York to Paris. Later he criticized Lindbergh to his face, suggesting that he consider his views carefully. Was Dean Jay a spy? Probably not, but everyone sought his advice. From presidents to popes to dictators. He was an informant who provided information to those who needed and used it. He met his wife, Anne, on a blind date and that night he told her “I’m going to marry you.” And he did. The marriage lasted sixty years. Jay helped provide the money for the work of his friend, Nobel Prize winner Madame Marie Curie, who laid the foundation for modern oncology Dean and Anne Jay were people of substance and seriousness of purpose. You knew they were people to be heard and heeded. Both stood very erect with an unassuming, easy dignity of bearing. They were well above the average height and would have been described as “tall.” Both had what we might then have called “fine figures” with reasonably broad shoulders and trim waists. Add for her a full bust.

A common soldier's story, of the men fighting to defend Confederate interests at Vicksburg in late 1862 through July 1863.

Although mechanisms involved in the spread of cancer have been the subject of a major research endeavor over the past decade, metastatic tumors still account for significant clinical morbidity and the failure of cancer treatment. Not only are the vascular pathways the most common route for the dissemination of cancer cells, but interactions between the cells and the circulation act as important rate-regulators for the metastatic process. This authoritative, multi-authored volume addresses the importance of microcirculation in cancer metastasis. The book begins with up-to-date reviews on the biology of endothelial cells and the structure and physiology of the normal and tumor microcirculations, and then emphasizes interactions between components of the microcirculation and cancer cells. Metastasis is discussed through chapters exploring the entry of cancer cells into the circulation, the biophysics and morphology of cancer cell traffic and arrest, interactions with host cells and the basement membranes, and angiogenesis. This fascinating book will interest oncologists, pathologists, and students of metastasis or the microcirculation.
