...Youth Alliance sign on Blue Hills Avenue. Store-fronts for adult organizations -- CORE, Operation Exodus, and the Black Muslims--dominate the block. Jo Jo Ferguson, Alliance's 21-year-old executive director, met me at the door. The barrenness of the outer meeting room contrasted sharply with the rich carpet and shiny desks in the main office.

Unfortunately, for his purposes Uris finds it necessary to portray France's Charles de Gaulle as a fatuous numskull, and though le grand Charles has his share of faults, congenital stupidity is not one of them.
