Democratic politicos began to look at themselves in a new perspective. Until a few1 weeks ago, Navy Secretary James Forrestal had turned a deaf ear to proposals that he should be Harry Truman's running mate in 1948.

Skipper Seligman felt a gloomy awe at his own temerity. He and the first mate, Lars, had to shout in melodramatic alarm to rouse hands to shorten sail. After the two-day gale had blown out, "faces that we had almost forgotten appeared blinking...
