...Greatly Surprised." Muley Doughton hit the ceiling. Red-faced and bitter, he called his committee together for a showdown. "This is a terrible hurt," said old Bob Doughton. "This is one of the hardest blows I have ever had." Then, his mountaineer anger getting the better of him, he told the committee flatly that he didn't intend to stand...
...Army had to act. From Washington it announced that Ben Lear had been ordered to make an explanation. Until it arrived, the Army would say nothing. Under the circumstances there was not much to say. Ben Lear might well have been oversevere: his sentence had the stigma of capricious anger, wounded vanity.

Suddenly, as though his face were not giving quite complete expression to his feelings, he throws his whole body into harmony with his mood...
...European civilization which Shirer loved. They are revealing. There is the usual chitchat about El Greco's greens, The Decline of the West and The Magic Mountain, "a tremendous novel." There is a murmuring of the evocative names of storied cities. There is gnashing of teeth, impotent anger, weeping, physical illness at each new Nazi success...
