...Hahn's pedagogical plan called for cold showers, periods of silence, and exacting physical trials to harden bodies and toughen minds in the struggle for survival during perilous times. Hahn founded his first school in 1920 at Germany's Salem Castle. When the Nazis forced him to flee 13 years later, he went to the bleak northeast coast of Scotland and started the Gordonstoun School, where Britain's Princes Philip, Charles and Andrew, along with laborers' sons, submitted to Hahn's austere regimen.

And we feel the same respect for him as we do for those uprooted souls, forced throughout this century to flee Europe and to make their way in an alien and hostile world. The self-made man may be forced to step on his neighbor's toes, but his energy, resourcefulness, and perserverance remain a source of admiration for the Bernies of the world born with a free ticket to medical school. Duddy is young and unthinking...
