Whitehall will get on the phone to Washington, urging the U.S. not to start World War III over a "faraway island" governed by one whom 71-year-old Clement Attlee calls "an old man [commanding] aging forces." By this time (if old patterns repeat themselves), the U.S. will be made to seem a warlike power, and Chou En-lai will step forward, ready to settle everything-if only he is given Formosa or a free seat...

" The trouble is, Sophia is already married to Christiano, an amiable young businessman whose soul, alas, "is a patchwork quilt." Though he would kill the man who touched his wife, Christiano is flattered when men try. This suits Sophia, a flirt with "an intuitive appreciation of solitaires." It also suits Rubião. To keep his welcome sweet at Christiano's, he lends...
