...Sadat out of control, or was he acting fast and boldly to take charge of events that were outpacing him? "I will never bow except before the people of Egypt," he told a cheering throng of about 2 million in downtown Cairo, "and I will never kneel except before God." The crowd roared its approval as Sadat dismissed the rejectionists as "dwarfs" and promised to press on for a just solution of the Palestinian problem, despite the "ailing minds of some of the Palestinians."

...foot or a waving hand takes on a life of its own. Redmond shows Falstaff as a weak old man lying about brave exploits, a man who fools himself while fooling no one else.
