...some earlier Moslem version of a Naguib and a Shishekly might have responded by rattling their damascene blades, leaping to Arab steeds and smiting the infidel to the cry of Allah il Allah! But now they rattled only their tongues. At a state dinner in his honor, eminent visitor Shishekly said: "We are prepared to strike back if necessary." Naguib echoed: "Ten blows for each "one in attack against...
...this country." At this point, Britain's leading Roman Catholic, Bernard Cardinal Griffin, spoke up in a quieter voice.

A regimental chaplain who heard this remark said in answer: "If I could believe that, and could say it to these men with real conviction, it would do wonders...
Critics were agreed on Gubler's genius. Said one: "The daring of a Picasso and the colors of a Bonnard." Said a German critic: "Most of the younger Swiss artists behave like goldfish in a sheltered pond . . . Gubler stands out among these goldfish like a pike." A visitor, who had flown from Paris to see the show, more aptly compared Gubler to a salmon that has produced remarkably after a terrific uphill climb...
