“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

—Janet Frame (b. 1924)

—Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
“Communists should be the first to be concerned about other people and country and the last to enjoy themselves.”
