...colors go on in spontaneous strokes that evoke the pages of an aging sage's diary; he signs and dates them in scrawly calligraphy before he begins. Each day's entry seems much the same, but some entries are too personal or too imperfect to be seen, and are destroyed. Others add to the meditative melodies of Bissier's world, and to the greater world he so patiently has survived...
Galbraith also found himself involved in many lesser offshoots of the war. When the government of Bhutan wanted advice on whether or not it should remain neutral, whose evaluation could be more sage than that of the representative of the U.S.A.? Who better than the U.S. ambassador to decide if slightly rusty ammunition which had just arrived from Europe was safe...

The anti-Greek chorus is made up of a motley collection of Communists, Socialists, antimonarchists, vague crusaders in search of new causes, ban-the-bombers (including that foolish sage, Bertrand Russell), all of them joined in the London streets by joyriding beatniks. Amazingly, they were also joined, in spirit, by Labor Party Leader Harold Wilson and Deputy Leader George Brown, who chose to boycott a banquet for the visitors-which could only raise questions about the mental health and stability...
