This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything accord- ing to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” — 1 John 5:13-15

Lederer wrote a best-sell- Ier, “The Ugly American,” circa 1958, about a well-meaning American bureaucrat who set out to repeat the success of the Marshall Plan in what were accurately called, with no intention of hurting anyone’s feelings, “the undeveloped countries.” Good intentions were not enough. The new plan didn’t work, foiled by hubris and pretension in the new class of American bureaucrats. The unattractive hero understood, but couldn’t turn the tide. He was dismissed as “the Ugly American” of his book. His superficial characteristics, with less than glamorous personal appearance, were transferred to his opponents, and “the ugly American” became the name for those in the growing horde of American tourists who invaded the world with a peculiar bumptiousness that flouted all the local conventions and traditions. With their mighty greenback dollars, the American tourist smoothed a few ruffled edges and the foreigners learned to live with the new pest, just as in later years they would learn to live with Some new reasons to fear a obnoxious and newly enriched German visitors.
