Behind most of these cheers lay the sense of relief expressed by a British diplomat who asked, "Can you imagine what the situation would be in the Congo now if it had not been for the U.N. ?" and promptly answered himself: "Intervention by the two superpowers and a dangerous clash between them." Along with the relief ran pleased surprise at Hammarskjold's positive achievements in the Congo and some concern over what he had let himself and the U.N. in for.

We just keep trying until we get the right effect...

At the beginning of the story his diction and sentence structure set a tone with which occasional word choices clash, but after the first two paragraphs his control does not slip. I look forward to reading the novel, which will counterpoint stories of the gangs with others about a group of New York children who go to college and Europe, have money and women...
