...with whom they sat. Those who tolerated their third person conversations were usually alienated by the way Beach and Richards occasionally tended to switch their conversation into Spanish, and the rest of them were alienated by Richards's tendency to insult anyone he thought was a rich preppie future fascist. Beach found that it all cut down on the number of people to whom he had to say hello on the street...
...arms--to the best known previous resistance to apparently invincible power. The world's imagination was caught not by the suffering of the Vietnamese people but by its refusal to surrender in the face of suffering. The Vietnamese were not like those Europeans who resigned themselves to their fascist conquerors.

So he showed the roots of the farmers' anti-fascist slogans and collective ambitions in simple, legendary stories, and the way the values of the stories made the anti-fascist slogans make sense, like Azdak's Solomon-like decision that Grusha keeps the governor's child because she won't try to pull him from a circle in a tug-of-war with the governor's ambitious widow. As a result...
