...Last Appeal. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had arrived in Moscow determined to press for the release of German prisoners of war still held by the Russians, and to get the Russians moving in the direction of German reunification. He got flat refusal of one, an oral promise on the other. From the outset it was clear that the Kremlin, for all the talk of a "Geneva spirit," was in no yielding mood, and the historic meeting almost broke up with no agreements at all.

Meanwhile, the independents filed an appeal to have the ruling set aside...
...boss was Betty Brown, a trim, pretty redhead and a Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Southern California. For Wouk, it was a clear case of love at second sight. Betty was a Protestant, but not a practicing one. She thinks now that part of Herman's appeal for her was that he made her see "that one didn't have to be a stupe to be religious." When Herman went back to sea, Betty Brown began studying Judaism, and a year later, on her 25th birthday, became a Jewish convert. Betty's Hebrew name...
