    "Hudson Talbott, a longtime friend of Mr. Penraat's who wrote a
    children's book about his experiences (Forging Freedom: A True Story
    of Heroism During the Holocaust    ) said his research indicated there was
    a daredevil aspect to the missions.

    'The feeling I get is that he
    just loved the idea of putting one over on the Nazis,' Mr. Talbott said
    in an interview with The Albany Times Union. 'It wasn't a joke, or a
    game, but clearly there was something about fooling them that was an
    important aspect of this.'" --Douglas Martin in today's New York Times
