...draw maps. Why should I create a Jewish war before there is any hope whatsoever of peace with the Arabs? What do I mean? There are differences of opinion among this people.

Man, we used to drink anything," he laughed softly, and got sort of a devilish look in his eye. "Canned heat, hair tonic. I mean we drank some terrible stuff. I gave it up finally. Don't drink nothin' now. But you take Drag. Now, Drag say he can take all that stuff. Say he never been sick from it. That's true until we was up in Cincinnati, and he fell sick for two weeks...
