Quote #7

The Radio Tokyo men were back at Omori, smiling. Hat a lovely voice Louie had, what a brilliant job he had done. (4.26.1)

While the propaganda men at the radio admire Louie's speaking voice, this is because they believe they can use it to spread whatever message they want to the people. 

Quote #8

When the Zamperinis heard of it, they were upset: the race was to be called the Louis S. Zamperini Memoria Mile. Out of respect for the family, the name was changed to the Louis S. Zamperini Invitational, but that did little to lift the spirits of those involved. (4.28.5)

Is naming a race after Louie a sign of admiration, or is it merely exploiting his memory, the way the Radio Tokyo men are doing?

Quote #9

With his Odyssean saga featured in newspapers, magazines, and radio shows, [Louie] was a national sensation. (5.34.26)

While Louie deserves all the accolades he gets, we'd argue that Pete, with Cecy patiently waiting for him at home for years, is the true Odysseus of this tale.
