There were happier things too, about Dreamland--nights in cars with girls whose names were Diana Leigh and Valerie Lynn, girls whose names ran together if their faces did not; of hunting in crisp mornings for pheasant and grouse on ground that crackled as you walked over it.

...power and its abuses; his book--a most thorough work but by no means the last word on the subject, will provoke, frighten and outrage even those already jaded by the sleaziness and corruption of Watergate. Richard Helms and the old boys at the CIA would have been much happier it Thomas Powers and others like him never bothered to look inside their murky closed.
