Quipped the Vice President, leaning over the white fence to shake hands: "In America, we call this the boardinghouse reach." By late this month, when Nixon plans to wind up his current trip, the new Nixon-style boardinghouse reach will have spread far and wide over Moslem and Negro Africa the personal good will of the no longer so distant...
...David's daughter for St. David's day," cried a musical Welsh voice in the bar at Brown's Hotel as its owner raised his pint high.

When the two men meet just before war's end, both are less doctrinaire, though the pastor has been clapped into prison for calling Hitler the Antichrist. Convinced that postwar Germany will most need men like the pastor, the psychiatrist lays down his life so that the pastor may live. In humility, the pastor tacitly acknowledges this sacrifice as the act of a greater Christian than himself...
