...must bear in mind the distinction between forceful leadership and stubborn willfulness. And he should not delude himself into thinking that he can do everything himself. America today cannot afford vest-pocket government, no matter who wears the vest. The President is trusted not to follow the fluctuations of the public-opinion polls but to bring his own best judgment to bear on the best ideas his Administration can muster. There are occasions on which a President must take unpopular measures. But his responsibility does not stop there. The President has a duty to decide, but the people have...
More recently, the embarrassment has been compounded by another revelation about the his-her theses-an account of the U.S. Marines' 1915-34 occupation of Haiti. The military-affairs writer for the Detroit News, Robert D. Heinl Jr., a retired Marine colonel, says that the theses also bear strange similarities to an official 1934 Marine Corps report and a 1939 Marine history of the American intervention.

The arch dialogue is genuine tin (exhausted heroine to Caine: "Have you done it very often in strange rooms with girls who have husbands?"). In the best anti-hero tradition, Caine dies by bungling his last job, losing the girl and getting shot...
...away in Alcoitão, he had four bands, instead of the Schlumbergers' two. The moon was bright, the night clear and cool, as Patiño had hoped. And all the same people were there, the ladies in different gowns, to embrace and exclaim. No one could bear to miss a moment. As Iran's ex-Queen Soraya explained: "I'm very pained over what happened in Iran. But an earthquake can happen anywhere. That's no reason for me not to go to a ball...
