...Under Secretary of State C. Douglas Dillon coolly laid the new anti-Trujillo U.S. policy on the line: "Nothing would do more to promote Communism in Latin America than for the U.S. to support a dictator who, like Trujillo, has been guilty of torturing prisoners and trampling on human rights."

Long before he saw the lipstick, the monsignor knew that "the demon of concupiscence has been nibbling at the poor boy's glands. How do I know this? Have I not myself been chased through life by the hound of copulation?" Now he advises Bowles: "Go to her, if you must. You are a good man. There is nothing worse than self-deception...
