...Neill is an unsparing realist; he's the one who points out that Reed is an artist, not a politician. Reed ends up defending the individual's right to dissent against the Party's call for unquestioning loyalty, exclaiming that if you purge dissent you purge what's unique in a man, and he's answered by a tremendous explosion that signals a White-army attack.

He called Anderson himself. "We haven't had a Secretary who was so well thought of in years," the President said.
