“An hour past dawn, the Charger came down the hill, followed by a boxy Jeep with oversize tires and a Chevy half-ton truck.
'That's them,' said Ornazian
'The New Klansmen.'
'More like wannabe Nazis.'
'What's the difference?'
'Their playbook is Mein Kampf. They carved the number fourteen into the Weitzmans' dining-room table.'
'And that means what?'
'Fourteen words. The white-nationalist slogan. I am a coward and a loser and I blame my failure on other people.'
Ward counted on his fingers. 'That's fifteen words.'
'See? These guys could fuck up a wet dream. Let's go to their house.”

“Outside, the colonel was cheering, delighted by his first encounter with warfare, Inside, two Monuments Men bent over a four-hundered-year-old painting [by Peter Breughel the Elder] in the faint light of a newly arrived lamp. The first was kneeling on the ground, studying its surface like an archeologist in an Egyptian tomb or a medic with a wounded man. The second hunched behind him, concentrating on his notes. The soldiers, tired and dirty, huddled around them like the shepherds at the manger, staring silently at a painting of expressive faces and peasant villagers and at the two adult men in soldiers' garb fussing over every square centimeter of its surface.”
