But the grain growers and stockmen who cast most of North Dakota's votes listen to his tireless speechmaking with stony faces. They regard him as a city slicker backed by city slickers...
Next to Butcher, Ike's closest colleague is clever, tireless General Beedle Smith, whom Eisenhower baldly describes as the best chief of staff in the world.

He proclaimed a "Provisional Government of India," set about recruiting an "army of liberation," was tireless in his praise for Jap assistance in the task. When the time came to threaten Allied communications with southeast Asia, the Japs dubbed Bose a general and took him along with his "army of liberation." Through the heavy folds of British censorship in New Delhi came word that Bose's forces numbered some 3,000 men; others, freer to speak the truth, guess that he may have as many...
