   • 1997 March 7, Lee Sandlin, “World War II has faded into movies, anecdotes, and archives nobody cares about anymore. Are We Finally Losing the War?; also Losing the War, part two”, in Chicago Reader‎:

     The war as it appeared in the American press was a gorgeous tapestry of romance and swashbuckling adventure--frenzied Nazi rallies, weird religious rites in Japan, hairbreadth escapes on overcrowded trains teetering along mountain ravines, nights sleeping in haystacks in the backcountry of France after the fall of Paris, journeys in remotest Yugoslavia where the reporter "spent hours watching the army, with its wagons, horses, and guns, file past the minareted village in the moonlight."

   • 1954, Lester del Rey, The Sky Is Falling‎:

     But some were straight and tall, some were squat and fairy-colored and others blossomed from thin stalks into impossibly bulbous, minareted domes, like long-stemmed tulips reproduced in stone.
