...minor actors, from Caligula's clean-cut ROTC army to Scipio (a sweet young poet who wears a turtle neck sweater and an Italian zoot-suit), were mild, unprepossessing, and without talent.

"If the two mad groups of the world want to have a go at each other," roared Cousins, "we want no part of it. We talk of having friendship with Russia-and then we threaten them with the bomb." The boilermakers' delegate said it with metaphors mixed: "America and Russia are like two grizzly bears trying to get at each other. Let us pull out of this bear garden. Let us act as mediators between these...
