Instead of criticizing his political opponents, Dr. Gulek emphasized Turkey's basic strength and unity: "In the past 200 years Turkey has fought 14 wars with Russia. No family history in Turkey is without its losses to some Russian campaign. When the child is naughty, the mother warns that the Muscovite is coming. When, in 1946, Russia was in great favor among the Western allies, Turkey was alone.

Some fans believe Clark is at his best on the domestic scene, e.g., an adolescent daughter, about to leave on a date with her boy friend...
...child was obviously father to the madman. Hitler had a formidable capacity for divorcing himself from reality. As a youngster, he kept turning out sketches for grand new cities, planned to tear down half of Vienna and, incidentally, to convert its citizens from wine to a soft drink (a feat that the Fŭhrer, even at the height of his power, never accomplished). Sometimes, he meant to become a second Wagner, and once he started picking out an opera score on the piano ("I shall compose the music, and you will write it down," he told Kubizek...
