Sophie Quigley has vented her spleen voluminously and with such
force as to make me wonder: just what do they put in the water
up there?

Amongst a bevy of strident proclamations she accused the Americans
of not being the least interested in anything a yard beyond their
collective noses.  Americans, as a rule, seem to be very interested
in world affairs, and feel deeply the sufferring that is seen to
occur.  The amount of financial aid and other assistance given to
foreign governments and plighted peoples everywhere is evidence of
the American generosity and concern.  If the Americans are to be
slighted at all in their dealings with the world, it is not so much
a lack of interest, but a stubborn belief in the goodness of all
people, a willingness to disbelieve the most horrific truths of
ruthless governments.  This trait, I believe, is shared with Canadians;
it is the Western liberal tradition.

The Soviets are banking on it.
