...London at midnight Prime Minister Chamberlain, who saw as the crux of the matter the issue of whether Germany would get Sudetenland at once or after the formality of international negotiation, declared...
...Yield Unconditionally!" It was smart of Dr. Benes then to go to bed in Prague as though he had disposed of the matter and have to be waked up at 2 :00 a. m. by the Ministers of Britain and France who were kept arguing until 3:30 r. m. in their efforts to make a clear cut demand that Czechoslovakia "yield unconditionally."

And he's a pretty keen fellow when it comes to calling plays, too, for that matter. Mix them up--run, pass, kick, fight for that extra yard--keep the old legs pumping all the time. He has a very distinct idea of how it feels to get out into the clear and watch the safety man dive at him desperately--and miss. It feels grand...
