...Brzezinski, back in his native country after a 19 year absence, the single most striking sentiment evident among the Poles was a strong hate and contempt for everything Russian. In Warsaw, for example, people would not enter the new Palace of Justice simply because it was Stalin-built. And when a person on the street was asked the direction of a certain street or square, renamed by the Communists, he would invariably desist from answering. Or he might say that if so and so street was meant (the original name), it was right over there...

Subtly, Diefenbaker cashed in on the anti-American sentiment that the pipeline debate stirred up: "If foreign investments are to remain predominant in resource industries, Canada would tend to become a purely extractive national economy." As the campaign progressed, his audiences became bigger and more demonstrative. Keeping a man-killing schedule of daylight speaking tours and nights of travel by train and airplane, he seemed to live on chicken sandwiches and cat naps grabbed in moving automobiles. He explained his knack for dropping off to sleep easily: "You just clench your back teeth." On his six-week, 20,000-mile...
