Leaving the gargoyles behind them after registration, the freshmen strolled down Dunster Street, passed the green and white freshman athletic building, looked over at the little white colonial Hicks House on Holyoke Street, and disappeared into the Smith Halls, or walked down further, past the power plant on Boylston and Memorial Drive, to gaze at the Charles through the windows of Gore, Standish, or McKinlock. They ate in the separated dinning halls, met each other in the common rooms, and in a couple of months were so contented that they looked forward unhappily to having to leave their secluded dwellings...
Bandwagons in Mayfair. Unity, if it comes at all, will have to be achieved by agreement among the colorful chief delegates: tall, aristocratic Alhaji Ahmadu, the Islamic and potent Sardauna of Sokoto, an Arabian Nights figure in a billowing green turban and red velvet robe, whose Moslem Hausas consider the pagans of the South no better than savages; boyish, chubby-faced Yoruba Chieftain Obafemi Awolowo, one of the shrewdest political minds in Africa and an ardent champion of regional self-government for his own people; scholarly and ambitious Dr. Nnamdi ("Zik") Azikiwe, the rich and demagogic U.S.-educated favorite...

Dutourd soon found himself imprisoned in a vast aircraft hangar, along with 8,000 other Frenchmen who lolled about admiring the conquering Germans for their elegance, and green with envy of their boots. (In a devastating aside, Dutourd suggests that the money poured into the Maginot Line might better have been spent on boots for the French army.) It was assumed that the war was nearly over, that the Germans would send the prisoners home on free railroad passes. But Dutourd got away. He carries modesty about his three-year stint with the Resistance to the point of devoting half...
