...Asian nations affected by Peking's nuclear explosion, India has the most to fear. Since Red China's humiliating walk through the Himalayas in 1962, the Indians have been obsessed by fear of renewed Communist aggression. Thus, though India was only recently the anti-nuclear Cassandra of the nonaligned world, the nation last week was earnestly debating whether to build A-bombs...
...tourist driving on the right but wrong side of the road, or hopelessly demanding a drink at midnight, the London police seem paragons of patience. Whether breaking up a race riot or gingerly plucking anti-nuclear squatters from the pavement, the brawny, pink-cheeked bobby almost never resorts to the panicky brutality of the French flic or the officious zeal of the German Polizist.

When the Russell forces prepared to tack their anti-nuclear declarations to the Ministry door, the police talked them into using tape instead...

The new element is the familiar Anti-Nuclear Bomb movement of today, but in FitzGibbon's time its pony-tailed and sandaled youth has swollen into the biggest political fact in Britain, led by zealots and exploited by those who know that pacifism cannot help but help the Russians. And when, in a landslide-election win, the anti-Bomb boys and girls take power...
