When Steve Cohen bounced a line-drive kickoff off the best of Brown center Bill Packer and recovered the ball on the Brown 49, the fans sensed a rout in the making. But the Crimson, after penetrating to the Bruin 10, couldn't go any farther, and then the Great Conspiracy to Let Brown Score began...
...spent two years in a Vichy prison after he mistook an enemy for a De Gaulle man. So Boulle knows the background of his latest non-hero, Lieut. Cousin, an intellectual, successful novelist and critic, who has delusions of heroism even as his unit is put to rout by the Germans.

Nonetheless, he thought that only foreign aid could assure his coffee-growing Andean country of 14 million of "a decisive stake in the material civilization of the West," preventing "a retreat, a rout, a historical disaster." What kind of help? Latin America is asking only for loans, and guarantees "restitution to the American taxpayer."
