One wishes it would state its sympathies openly, and perhaps allow Price lo assert his craftsman's integrity and his disgust with everybody who wants lo turn his camera into a deadly weapon.

When the six years were...
...short time ago, their words and deeds had brought fear to people from Murmansk to Lands End to Jamestown, N.Y. Now they were just an odd and seedy assortment of soldiers, rowdies, bureaucrats and bourgeois, who hardly looked important enough to have provoked the heavy wave of hatred, disgust and indignation which had swept them to the prisoners...
