"If they can capture one, they can do it to a hundred, and soon they'll be on the West Coast." On the mantel sit two photographs of her G.I. Joey. "They're breaking him down," insists Mr. White, at once hopeful and horrified that he is right. "My son's still resisting. I know he is." Perhaps Father knows best. But not even he has any real idea why on earth...
