...atrociously modern hotel that lies in a shifting no-man's-land: "This our voyage en orient. But the Orient doesn't exist. It is a creation of the west. And all this--this is the fall of Western civilization." The guerillas all speak French or English; clad in olive drab fatigues, they play classical pieces on a Steinway ornamented with a machine gun. Many have spent time in Europe. The most repulsive character in the movie is a suave French-speaking member of the Christian aristocracy whose hypocrisy glares through a greasy patina of European culture. The journalists talk...
...only weapons-grade plutonium plant: "These installations have been here for years, but I do think our people are now uncomfortably aware that South Carolina plays a far greater role than we would wish in nuclear matters."

...book's cover boasts a huge picture of an impeccably clad, somewhat arrogant-looking executive, presumably Molloy himself. If the book does anything, it portrays the vapidness of the "success" for which this man lives. Dickinson said, "Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed." Perhaps this explains Molloy's peculiar fascination with the subject...
