...fulminating foe of labor racketeers before the attack, he has become even more outspoken. With his labor reportage often on the shallow or sensational side, Riesel was not the U.S.'s finest labor reporter either before or after his injury. But his audience has widened: he is currently syndicated in 287 papers-nearly 100 more than he had when he was blinded...
...Russians are now holding many Italians against their will. Perhaps many died in slave-labor camps. But most of them probably fell in battle or died of starvation or disease in the terrible winter retreat of 1942-43. Uncounted thousands of Germans, Russians and probably Italians lie buried in shallow graves hurriedly hacked in the frozen steppes across the Ukraine...
Consistent but Shallow. With his usual sharp and overly detailed sense of time, place, speech and custom, O'Hara sets the scene.

Near the oasis of Ghat, 500 miles south of the Mediterranean coast, he found on his last expedition a shallow cave with many graffiti scratched on its walls. When he dug into the sandy floor, he found a peculiar bundle: a goatskin wrapped around the desiccated body of a child. The entrails had been removed and replaced by a bundle of herbs...
