Chapman was briefly a staff officer, map-making in a safe chateau but, to his own mild surprise, he found that he was happier when he was back in the trenches. At the Armistice, he discovered that he had so completely identified himself with his battalion that he refused demobilization to spend a year with the Army of Occupation. The experience is so subtly conveyed that the reader is not surprised. Chapman's war is told without bitterness (though with an almighty disdain for the political bunglers and profiteers and civilian patriots who prolonged the agony), and this sets...
There she is happier, fills her days with work and eating ("I eat more than most men"), her nights with discothèques. Though young, she is a thorough professional, arrives on time made up and ready to go. She is also a perfectionist down to her fingertips, which she enhances with nails imported from the U.S. because she thinks they suit her best.

...last week, replacing the pro-Jadid Premier Youssef Zayyen, was Salah Bitar, 53, Baath co-founder who holds that "to take Marxism as an absolute and comprehensive ideology conflicts with the Arab revolution, which is basically nationalist." Syria would remain socialist, if somewhat less stridently. Abroad this would mean happier relations with its moderating socialist as well as non-socialist Arab neighbors (last week Damascus received an envoy from Kuwait to renew negotiations for a $56 million Kuwaiti loan), and at home a better break for what remains of Syria's long-beleaguered middle class...
