"He's a fellow," cried Bob Wagner, "who says slavery is legal, and that in his country our Air Force cannot use Jewish men and cannot permit any Roman Catholic Chaplain to say Mass. [Saud is not] the kind of person we want to recognize in New York City." This Wagnerian fortissimo did not dampen the Navy...
