...Birnam, a confirmed and hopeless alcoholic unable to save himself or see any way to be saved. It was a study in acknowledged disorder. The Fall of Valor, Jackson's second book, is a study in the revelation of disorder.

Shirer (who looks like H. V. Kaltenborn) in Berlin. The indefatigable Kaltenborn himself, CBS's one-man backfield during the Czech crisis, was in Europe when the current mixup broke out broadcast from London at 1:30 p.m. there on Wednesday, jumped a Clipper, broadcast from Manhattan at 6:30 next night.
