From the time when the Berserkers ravaged all the coasts of western Europe and lay drunk in every conquered port it has been the same way: everywhere the nations that drink too much are observed to fight rather well and not too righteously.

On the desk, he dashed in at the top of the screed:
"Great playing by President Brown."
