Mention was made of Senator John Waltzer (D, North Carolina), the chair of the Armed Services Committee hearings, who was against the CIA""s shadow organizations (he considered them "irrelevant at best or unconstitutional at worst") and covert intelligence operations.His struggle to stay alive in the rural, barbaric ""re-education"" labor camp, his two escape attempts from his captors, and his horrifying walk through the skeletal remains of the brutal massacres in the Valley of Death, the muddy "killing fields," all present potent apocalyptic images on his journey to Thailand.It is vacation time and fast-moving trains and steamships leave the city to bring vacationers/beachgoers to the peaceful countryside or ocean seaside for leisure.It""s a shame for you to come all the way up here and miss your amusement.Read it, doctor, the intimate journal of Miss Charlotte Vale - spinster....but you must pry.I insist that you do.There""s really nothing to frighten you off - a few snapshots, a memento or two.It""s a record of my last trip abroad with my mother.We were sailing up the coast of Africa.See - there""s a picture of our ship, a...steamer.You wouldn""t have known me then - I was twenty then.Pages of a book flip backwards to an eras-gone-by flashback where twenty-year old Charlotte is on her first voyage of love - kissing handsome ship""s officer Leslie Trotter (Charles Drake) on a sunny deck: "That was a scorcher," he tells her.Draco practiced magic there - placing a green apple in a large cabinet, one similar to the one from Borgin & Burke, to see if he could cause objects to vanish (and then reappear).
