Arising as early as 4 a.m., he looks worn and grey as he steps forth, topcoat collar turned up, hat pulled down, into the morning mists., But he sheds his years as the day progresses. "I," he cries in martyrdom, "am the man who has been marked for a purge by the Eisenhower Administration."

At novel's end there is a fracas in the bull ring, and the boy with the Davy Crockett hat touches the still-warm hide of the bull.
