...Plucky, Not Stupid." Washington newsmen were plainly sorry to see Salinger go. Though they deplored his disdain for detail and his bothersome habit of unexplained disappearances during presidential trips, Pierre was always sharp at painting the broad picture.

"Brother Raymond was bleeding terribly," recalled Brother Jean-Guy as he lay in a Leopoldville hospital last week. "I tore off some of my habit, drenched it in blood and smeared his face and back, then mine, to make us look dead. I was certain that we would not survive." Incredibly, the end never came.
