...This irregular home guard use automobiles for tanks and carry a bizarre assortment of weapons that ranges from revolvers to ancient muzzle-loaders and World War I rifles; ammunition is packed in plastic airlines bags. They patrol the streets in sports shirts and slacks, stuff sandwich rations into their hip pockets. These whites have small regard for Tshombe or Africans, but they are determined to fight for their property-and against what they regard as the blundering brutality of the U.N. troops...

Gump's own taste in all things has not been universally admired.

At times, his facial tics seemed uncontrollable. He has obviously lost weight, and his pale blue eyes...

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in 1824, and it was not until 58 years later that children got rudimentary protection-when, during a discussion of a proposed home for dogs, someone thought of setting up a home for neglected children. Wrote a Liverpool banker who was at the meeting: "The whole thing was highly irregular and I felt very nervous, but to my great delight, Mrs. Forrer, the president of the Society for Protection...
