...Fair U.S. Commissioner-General Howard S. Cullman credits Stone's early planning, even before a final budget figure was available, with giving the U.S. the fast start that "was the difference between make or break."

As Berle waited glumly for his cue, he scowled at a monitor and frazzled the seven-in. Larranaga. "Shush, baby, shush," he said to no one in particular.
