One girl sat on a small boulder playing a recorder to the accompaniment of a Heinz-kosher-pickle-can drum.

His reward: one box of cigars from Winston Churchill, 600 thank-you plaques, 200 City of Hope "torches," honorary membership in 188 synagogues and in the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to say nothing of the nourishment from three or four thousand kosher dinners...
