...world still struggles clumsily with the problems he posed, and still has need of men like De Lesseps, who always "expected to meet friends rather than enemies, yet was always sword in hand, ready to defend a personal faith: that men were fundamentally good, that good prevails over evil, that therefore war at last will yield to peace...

After considerable searching, it has come to our attention that Spring is nearly upon us. A conclusion justified by the presence of mud in the Yard. Not just isolated patches, but long rolling, reeking swathes of rich, brown mud.

...Beastly to the Germans. Though Novelist Habe (real name: Jean Bekessy) is Hungarian-born, he peddles the familiar made-in-Germany apologia that most Germans were as innocent as the children of Hamelin town, and that only the wicked Pied Piper of Berchtesgaden seduced them into evil ways. More surprising. Novelist Habe, who rose to the rank of major in the U.S. Army, was decorated, and served with the occupation forces, argues that the Americans have acted as louts and barbarians preying on a helpless, suffering people. In this false equation, miscarriages of justice such as the imprisonment...
