With green eyes and a Gardol smile, he has an appeal to women that approximates Lena Horne's impact on men. Yet for all his public charm, he is an inner-directed man in an outer-directed profession. Even his closest staff aides have accepted the fact that he insists on making key decisions alone. In his climb to the Senate, Brooke has brought to bear the caution of the colored man, the self-confidence of the mulatto, and the conservatism of a family that was civil-service oriented...
...Adaptability has always been a Japanese virtue, just as violence is a Japanese vice. Over its history, Japan has absorbed religions and ideologies, art forms and technologies more readily than any other nation in the world; yet it has at the same time retained a tough inner core of national identity.

Between his diplomatic chores, Hammarskjold began translating the writings of Martin Buber into Swedish, and the pages of Markings are increasingly strewn with quotes from the Bible...
Shepherds of the Night does not quite reach the superb level of such earlier Amado classics as The Violent Land or Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, but it ripples with the special inner music that has made Amado's work popular the world over.
