They arrive over America. "This is the kingdom of death," says the wind in a grave voice. "This is the vultures' hideout. Here the monsters are laying eggs, destructive eggs. A single one of these eggs will burn everything, if it is dropped on a town. Women will weep and little children will cry over their dead mothers' bodies . . ." "Bombs, bombs, that's what you mean," stammers the little girl. But one deep, beautiful voice arises from America, below. "Who is that man singing?" asks the girl.

...deal with, including misty yogis like Nehru and notably unmisty commissars like Joseph Stalin. The biggest single factor that makes Mossadeq different is a religion that the West knows little about: Islam. Mossadeq is not devout, rarely goes to a mosque. But at home, as in his Parliament hideout, he lives almost as austerely as the founder of his faith (he eats little, owns only two suits, likes to dress no better than his chauffeur). Nowhere but in a Moslem country would the phenomenon of Mossadeq be possible...
