...propound a defense policy which is unreal and defeatist and which will be received with enthusiasm only by the Communists and those who support them." In Melbourne, Roman Catholic Archbishop Daniel Mannix, a Catholic Action leader, added: "If the foreign policy of certain leaders is any indication, the Communist rot has begun to set in here...
...sentiments there: "Only on person ever read beyond the first chapter of this book. That was myself. Don't do it." And from a member of the class of 1921: "If you start in the middle it's not so bad. Except now and then it is all unutterable rot." Another '21 contributed, "Most foolish book ever written."

He is pushed toward the edge by the inquisitions of the psychiatrists, and by the maddening knowledge that Ann will let him rot in asylums unless he returns to her arms alone. At last, all yearnings for independence crushed, any chances of even loosening the apron strings gone, he spews a false confession that is a frightening travesty of a Soviet purge trial. Pleased that their patient again realizes his need for a protective...
