...military [April 11]. Ike's entire career, both as military man and as President, was a tacit denial of the monolithic attitudes as presently displayed by those who now wield the clubs of nuclear power. Perhaps, in the inexorable march of history, his passing marked the end of military men who are able to be as constructive in peace as they are in war. General Shoup's description of professional soldiers reminds me of a finely tuned car that sets records at Indianapolis but is inept in traffic...
...there were wounded to be evacuated. The chopper landed, and Page ran out to help. Another booby trap exploded, blowing the legs off an Army sergeant, wounding Page in the chest, arm, abdomen and head. Less than three hours later, he was undergoing emergency surgery.

In the end, Nixon chose a course between backing down by discontinuing the flights permanently, thus conceding the field to the North Koreans, and plunging into a military contest that the U.S. might not be willing to sustain.

The relation is one of influence, expressed visually by resemblance. In a scene with another character, any character will take on the other's appearance. Thus Fyodor, at the end of a sequence with Count Volski, leaves the room bent over, dimniished in stature. The influence is never one-sided; no character is able to exercise total control over another. Instead, each scene is built on this multiple influence and resemblance, and all characters' appearances change according to their partners...
