...process of selective absorption. Occupied for the first time in its history, Japan bent, bowed and stretched to the penances of defeat. It grasped eagerly at the authority that floated in behind a corncob pipe on the U.S. Missouri to replace the authority that died with the Tojos. Its outward bitterness in defeat was directed not so much against the triumphal strangers who had used Japanese as the first targets for the Abomb, but at its own returning soldiers. Instead of sympathy, the returning veterans were greeted with coldness, and even with jeers in their home towns. They had failed...

Since anybody can be either extraverted...
...diplomatic tornado that was swirling around the world. Two hundred and fifty miles away, the mangled bodies of Chinese Nationalists killed in the Communist Chinese attack on the islet of Yikiang were tossed ashore by the turbulent waters of the East China Sea. There was little calm, outward or inward, in Washington or in London or in the United Nations headquarters at New York. In the world's capitals, last week was recognized as a time of decision and danger...
