Later a wretched Thanksgiving spent at the home of a U.S. general confronts him with the anguish of American inertia in pursuing un-American aims in Viet Nam. When he retreats to Italy at Christmas to salve his soul among the airy splendors of the Sistine Chapel, his democratic principles are tried again. Everywhere he finds "dark serried groups reminding him of flocks of starlings...
