...battled with claustrophobia. The first night he had to climb up to the iron entrance and gasp for fresh air through the crack above the concrete sill. "Just pretend you are a monk living in the Middle Ages," counseled Bentz, his cellmate. After a month of living like a mole, Chambrun became acclimatized, even got to like his mole life. He became a full-fledged gars du béton, a Concrete Guy. An old traveler in American upper berths, he could even show his men how to take their pants off in their hammocks, and when he awakened...
