...black, red, white or yellow, Democrat, Republican or Socialist, every man, woman and child in these United States owes a solemn duty to the freedom he or she enjoys in this country to unequivocally back the critical conclusions of our President, who is ipso facto commander in chief in military matters. Virulent dissent asserted by politically minded doves in the U.S. Congress will do irreparable harm to the international strength of America, as it struggles for even a morsel of indication from North Viet Nam that an honorable peace is possible.

...year-old boys. Wirthof, a rich, aristocratic Aryan and the son of a crippled World War I general, is already arrogant and glib despite his pale blond fragility. Kazakh, son of an Aryan mother and a Jewish father who is killed as a heroic leader of the Social Democrat uprising in 1934, is a shy, sensitive boy, but stronger and taller than Wirthof. Kazakh easily wins the foot race that follows their initial encounter; yet he is able to realize even then that Wirthof dominates him psychologically if not physically...
