Pages references, quotes, info, etc., from the book, to incorporate into the article eventually
I'm using this space as a Sandbox for the development of the article. Please feel free to start new discussion sections below my last edit. Eventually all of this stuff will disappear as I use it in the article.
Anent: Raymond Shaw:
- "The sergeant's rage-daubed face would shine like a ripped-out heart flung onto stones in the moonlight" -- page 30
- "The sergeant's account of his past was ancient in its form and confusingly dramatic, as perhaps would have been a game of three-level chess between Richard Burbage and Sacha Guidy." -- page 31
- "...large glaucous eyes with very large whites, like those of a carousel horse pursued by the Erinyes, those female avengers of antiquity." -- page 32
- "It was not that Raymond was hard to like. He was impossible to like." -- page 33
- "His pose, had it been executed in oils, might have been called "The Young Duke among the Fishmongers." -- page 47
- Anent Marco: "He had the superior digestive system which affords almost every man blessed with it the repose to become thoughtful." -- page 35
- Anent a Russian general: "[he was]... as stocky as an opera hat." -- page 43
- Marco's squad members, all of whom, except Marco and Raymond, are named after actors in the Bilko show: "Between them, left to right, were Hiken, Grosfield, Little, Silvers, Mavole, Melvin, Freeman, Lembeck." -- page 46
- "Their brains had not merely been washed, they had been dry-cleaned." -- page 64
