...another example take the wildly funny scene in which British recruits are drilling with broomsticks. They are imaginging that they hate Germans and imagining that they have guns. The dressing down the recruits get when they don't imagine hard enough is, however, real--they manage to convince you of that by sheer force of good acting. You won't see mime as good as their rendition of a bayonet charge for a long while...
...deadline: De Gaulle's demand that U.S. forces leave France by next April. U.S. Air Force Colonel Harold Fulmer, flying the first American planes and equipment (mostly desks) from the 27-year-old French airbase of Evreux to the new NATO station at Mildenhall, England, said simply: "We hate to go."

If enough such statements "come pouring out after someone is shot...

"It is one of the mysteries of nature," he said in 1906, after his favorite daughter Susy died of meningitis at 24, "that a man, all unprepared, can receive a thunderstroke like that and live." He was, says Kaplan, obsessed with "the rustle and chink and heft of money." He kept a private hate list and added names to it all his years. "A liar, a thief, a drunkard, a traitor, a filthy-minded and salacious slut," he recorded...
