The city is self-conscious about its culture and somewhat nostalgic about its hell-raising past, and looks down its nose at drab Kansas City, Kansas "across the viaduct."

She and Tim have an affair that is both earthy and unearthly. Together they fly to Hell...
...efficient administration of Japan after V-J Day don't mean a thing. No, the irretrievable damnation of self-esteem outweighs whatever might be said for him. He likes to dress up too much; he is a propagandist; he thinks a lot of himself, like Teddy Roosevelt did. Come hell or Henry Wallace, we must have a humble man in the White House...
