...French cut off the medina with three cordons of troops, through which no Arab could escape. Inside the medina were detachments of Foreign Legionnaires, colonial infantry with tanks, barefoot Berber goumiers, whose hatred of the Arabs is legendary, and French police from whose wrists swung weighted truncheons. Police men, working with maps, split the medina into half a dozen sectors. Then the legionnaires, working systematically, began breaking down the doors of every house...
...Barefoot Boy. "Wally Moon," says Stanky, "is a typical Cardinal-type player"-which is another way of saying that baseball is Wally's life. From the time he was old enough to throw a ball, Wally worked out daily with his father, an unreconstructed semipro.

Many of these barefoot supporters of the Arbenz regime obviously knew as little of Marx as they did of Hart & Schaffner, but many of them had got land under the agrarian program, and they could be counted on to defend it ferociously. Men like that who get weapons in their hands do not turn them back meekly; Guatemala would probably hear of them again...
