...Britain often appears subdued and on the decline. Yet the Eden government's intervention in Egypt roused Britain's churches to life and protest as no British government's action since the Boer War. Most of the Protestant clergy -both Established church and nonconformist-took their cue from the Archbishop of Canterbury ("Christian opinion ... is terribly uneasy and unhappy"). Said the Anglican Bishop of Chichester: "Britain has stood alone in the world before because she upheld moral principles at great cost to herself. But she stands almost alone today because she has acted in direct violation...
...then, of course, there is the supporting cast: 68,894 people and 7,959 animals-including four ostriches, six skunks, 15 elephants, 17 fighting bulls, 512 rhesus monkeys, 800 horses, 950 burros, 2,448 American buffalo, 3,800 Rocky Mountain sheep and a sacred cow that eats flowers on cue. The film took 34 directors 160 days to make on 112 locations and 140 sets in 13 countries.

Said Knowland, savoring every second: "I am telling you precisely that." Moments later the classroom bell clanged through Glatfelter Hall, and the reporters took the cue to dash for their telephones...
...blue shell" of the sky with "the needles on the instrument panels as light as ghosts' tongues," the fighter pilots "hammer their woodpecker's tune, exact, refined and cruel," and they die. Civilians blunder into the nightmare at Janneby West like extras stumbling onstage at the wrong cue. A wife, summoned to her husband's funeral, finds it was all a mistake; after his plane plummeted to earth there was nothing left to bury. An aging father comes to visit his son only to find that he is missing on a long-overdue mission...
