...obligation to make moral and material amends." The Chancellor reminded the deputies that the West German Constitution rejects "any form of racial discrimination." He pledged his government to unrelenting prosecution of all Jew-baiters.* The Bundestag listened in strained silence, broken only by the distracting paper-shuffling of a neo-Nazi member, sideburned Franz Richter, who was ostentatiously leafing through his morning mail...
...manuscript, Adenauer read on: "The Federal [Bonn] government is prepared jointly with representatives of Jewry and the State of Israel. . . to bring about a solution of the material reparation problem in order to facilitate the way to a spiritual purging of unheard-of suffering . . ."

...answers Ferris can dredge up are corroded with hate and futility. He loathes his job, is desperately weary of the daily stint on the office treadmill. He detests his pretentious "neo-Georgian" home in Oakdale, a genteel Midwestern suburb. Most of all he hates "the goddamn blood-drinking octopus" he married. Enid Ferris is one of those primly efficient young matrons who know how to place-kick an indulgent husband over the goal posts of a cash culture to make a social score.
