...that appeared [TIME, Dec. 29] about me ... I was not in Marseille waiting to dispose of any loot. I am not a criminal. I have never been arrested in my life until this happened. As for your reference to the Jolly Roger and pirates, I get seasick when the anchor goes up and I don't know the difference between a peashooter and a cap pistol. I am a legitimate exporter and nylon manufacturer, and the worst offense I have ever been guilty of was traffic violations...
TIME'S research staff should be brought before the Old Man for Office Hours. Any recruit will have learned the hard way, long before he is given his first liberty in "greens," not to let himself be seen with his collar ornaments "dragging anchor."

...Dark. As the days went by, the prisoners, crammed in the filth and darkness of the fetid cabin, tried to make out what was going on overhead. One day they heard another boat come alongside.

...lene's miracle takes the form of a chance meeting with her father's Russian mistress, Tamara. To Tamara, who has lived precariously for most of her 35 years, Papa Noris is an anchor of security, though he never guesses how often and strangely she drags anchor. For Tamara is a Lesbian, too neurotically selfish for anything but a perverted counterfeit of love. But to the innocent eyes of Hélene, Tamara's brusque, boyish charm, her low voice "rough as a cat's tongue," her disordered flat, a jungle den of cigarette smoke...
