Ostentatiously, he reached over and dragged a stand-up ashtray to the reporter's side. Too late; the offending ash broke loose and rained onto the green carpet. Mortified, Belair quickly followed it down, kneeling to scoop it up with his notebook. As the ash disappeared into the ashtray, the President of the U.S. appeared quietly pleased...

Then three green flares soared into the heavens, and more than 20,000 guns of all calibers erupted with an earsplitting, earth-shaking roar. The German countryside beyond the Kustrin bridgehead seemed to explode. Entire villages disintegrated. Earth, concrete, steel, bits of trees spewed into the air. The concussion from the thundering guns was so tremendous that...
