During his 30 years in the U.S. Army, Walker had often proved himself a cool and courageous combat soldier. But last week, making his first public speech since his Nov. 4 resignation from the Army, he seemed a misfit in mufti.

Unlike Eliot's, Simon Carter's world is inately ludicrous. He is a party to a power struggle between two stock Snow characters, Edwin Leacock (the "ambitious scientist-administrator," confident of imminent success, armed for battle with "bonhomie and grin" and "four-square honesty") and his deputy Robert Falcon (old friend of Carter's, the right sort of person, arrogant, dandyish, famous soldier-explorer, with a head like a ravaged handsome Apollo").
