...involvement in conspiracies against Hitler-in which Bethge also played a significant part -is here fully developed for the first time. So is Bonhoeffer's rather practical attitude toward rebellion: during a German celebration of the fall of France in 1940, Bonhoeffer gave a Nazi salute in a café and urged Bethge to his feet as well: "Raise your arm! Are you crazy? We shall have to run risks now, but not for that salute!" Bethge describes Bonhoeffer's vivid disappointment after a visit to Sweden in 1942, where he asked Anglican Bishop G.K.A. Bell for Allied...
...great copper statue of a man, Jefferson cannot be legitimately toppled. But he can be melted down legally. Arrested on a rigged Mann Act violation, the champ jumps bail and flees to Europe. There the bruiser becomes the bruised. The retreat starts in alcoholism and ends in a Budapest café where with aching symbolism he "lawzy me's" his way through the role of Uncle Tom on a tiny stage...
...kicked the sides of their trailers, horses neighed, hogs squealed. Dust and diesel fumes mixed with the sweet prairie air and the scent of frying bacon spewing from the kitchen exhaust fans.

No one has the whole story. In Phnom-Penh, everyone is a gatherer of bits and pieces of information. "Did you hear?" the reporter asks, and then delivers a nugget of information to the diplomat. The diplomat reciprocates. They go their...
...themselves as suedeheads. Skins or suedes, they specialize in terrorizing such menacing types as hippies and homosexuals, Pakistani immigrants and little old ladies. "Hairies," those with long hair or hippie-style clothing, are their particular enemies, but they are quite happy to break up a synagogue, a Chinese café or an Indian restaurant. The skinheads live for "agro" (causing "aggravation") and "bovver" (street fighting). While they favor the boot as a primary weapon, they also use their heads to "nut" or butt a victim, and whatever other weapons come to hand: bricks, rocks, bottles, knives and razors. "Scar stuff...
