...Gasperi's tenacity in holding on to power became one of the amazing political feats of postwar Europe. Industrial production was at an alltime low; Italy had 3,500,000 jobless or partially employed. The Reds controlled one-third of Italy's 2,735 communes.

...Bear's Share. In the year since Panmunjom, between 5,000,000 and 7,000,000 hungry, mostly jobless, often nomadic North Koreans* have watched a prosperous brood of Russians, Red Chinese and assorted satellites descend upon their country's rubble, poking through blasted factories, tinkering with ancient generators and spinning frames, burrowing into blocked-off coal mines.

Peck is picked, and told that if he succeeds he can name any job he wants...
