...tactics always, the strategy often, are expendable and replaceable; these are the party-line flipflops that make the headlines, but they do not change the core of theory and program. To understand the manipulable strategy and tactics, Stalin's followers - and his intended victims - have to understand the inner theory and program.

In a few minutes nature deposits white corpuscles along the wall of the scraped...

...boys are at such an emotional pitch, the effect of an exhorting coach can only be harmful, Art feels. This reassuring coolness lasts until the winning team picks up the ball and carries it off the field. Then, and only then, can he ease up and let the inner tension seep from him.
