Contents:

Prologue: Tumult at Carnegie Hall
Tsar and queen
Magic land
City of the world
Missionary to the slums
Cinderella of the sweatshops
Distant thunder
Island paradise
A tall, shamblefooted man
By ballot or bullet
A key to the gates of heaven
Not the rose I thought she was
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier
Let the guilty be shot at once
All my life I have been preparing to meet this
Waves against a cliff
The springtime of revolution?
No peaceful tent in no man's land
Love is always justified
