Medals and Chevrons When McGee next opened his eyes, it was upon a world in which white seemed to be the shockingly outstanding scheme of things.

"Boss, man, I ain't aimin' to tell you no lies dis time. I comes clean." "Come clean and come fast." "A elephint set down on it." "What!" "I sez, suh, a elephint set down on it." In moments of stress, when tempted beyond his powers of self-control, Mr. Farrell was accustomed to punctuate physically, as it were, the spoken word.
