...integrated European army with its own nuclear capacity. But De Gaulle dislikes the idea of such integration, and Washington dislikes the idea of giving up its nuclear veto. If the U.S. persists with the MLF scheme-which Britain's Labor government may accept, although with modifications-the French hint that they might pull out of NATO...
...years. Ehrenburg seems almost under a compulsion to mention as many as possible, as if to atone in some slight way for their "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short lives. His portraits are touching, affectionate, anecdotal, but he scrupulously avoids discussing the writers' ideas.

Has Celestino been murdered in some highly symbolic fashion? Apparently not; nor is there any hint that the supernatural is involved. Celestino's death is, rather, superliterary. He is the first character in the history of the novel to be killed by a wholly nonexistent symbol. This is artistic anarchy, which is not a satisfactory way to write about an anarchist...
