...amorous panic, the Bundeswehr had to ask the Bavarian radio to broadcast an announcement to quiet the aggrieved wives. But one officer felt not so much indignant at East German trickery as he did despairing about West German women: "They didn't stop to think, didn't use their heads, or refuse to believe the letters out of confidence in their husbands. No. They opened them, read them and, instantly, they were convinced." Another officer had a different concern. "I hope," he mused thoughtfully, "that soldiers now won't get the idea of nonchalantly palming off real...

Miss Gertrude Tubby, secretary of the American Society for Psychical Research, encouraged the "young and eager psychic," and soon Ford was in London, way beyond the league of Snoddy, Tubby or even Moody.
