...waiting was in vain. Neither the former Attorney General, who rarely shows emotion and seldom talks to the press at even the best of times, nor his once effervescent wife emerged. Their chief contact with the outside world was a former Hungarian freedom fighter who serves as their general aide-de camp and chauffeur.

"Baha'is are very eager to spread their message all over the world," Porter said. But when the audience is uninterested--as many roommates of Baha'is are--"you have to keep your mouth shut" to avoid alienating them.
