...Blame? Thus ended one of the sorrier chapters in U.S. foreign policy. The reasons for the change in policy were plain enough. The struggle between the Soviet Union and the Western powers had made any true collective action on Palestine impossible. The U.N. Palestine Commission (chief of its secretariat: U.S.'s Ralph Bunche) might as well fold up. The U.S. would not, and could not, undertake the responsibility for bringing Soviet troops into the Middle East.

...Blame Ed. At halftime, in the locker room, St. Louis sucked oranges, watched Coach Hickey-in shirtsleeves-play all five positions, chalk up their errors on the locker-room floor. He wanted four men, not just two or three, to get down fast under the basket after Macauley had snared a rebound ("I can't blame you, Ed. I've coached you to save your strength by coming up slow").

...rediscovered faith, Joad says: "It affords me a light to live by in an ever darkening world." The world's irreligion he does not blame on the churches, but on the people "who won't listen." He confesses to a leaning toward Anglo-Catholicism, but is un-Joadishly diffident about airing his theological views. "I am such a new boy at this," he explains, "that I'd better not say any more about...
