I assure you that I get a great deal of pleasure and relaxation out of using the green in an occasional late afternoon hour . . .

You can decide to invade Russia at dinner, pick Waterloo for battle on a whim. It's the details, the small stuff. Its easy to gamble a million lives. Whats hard is to see how that can hurt one single person. And if you cant keep that straight, hell, you'll lose your humanity.
