->And then there was the hard-to-conceal fiasco in Antarctica. Egg on face: a subterranean nuclear test program in international territory! If nothing else, it had been enough to stop JFK running for a second term. The test program was a [[GasLeakCoverup bad excuse]]: but it was [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow far better than confessing what had really happened]] to the [=501st=] Airborne Division on the cold plateau beyond Mount Erebus. The plateau that the public didn't know about, that [[HereThereBeDragons didn't show up on the maps]] issued by the geological survey departments of those governments party to the [[FictionalGenevaConventions Dresden Agreement of 1931]] -- an arrangement that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Hitler had stuck to]]. The plateau that had swallowed more U-2 spy planes than the Soviet Union, more surface expeditions than darkest Africa.

->When the bleak gray shore of Antarctica heaved up over the horizon, they regarded it not with relief but with collective resignation. This was no respite. There were [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody no goose names]] for this country because geese didn't come here, or if they did, they never came back.
