Langer relates with a good deal of pride the map room rigged up for the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff by OSS. Still operating today, "it is one of the most impressive things to come out of the war," according to Langer.

Perhaps, his justification might run, there is no explanation for the existence of a man so out of joint with his world that he cannot feel hate, is incapable of acting in self-interest or even self-protection. He is a blind soul who probes his way, not with the white cane of rationality but with a mild, gentle love...
