Vote for Boyle, a son of the soil. Hal Boyle, a columnist for the Associated Press, drove into Tunis soon after it fell to the Allies in World War II shouting: “Vote for Boyle, a son of the soil: Honest Hal, the Arab’s Pal.” Arabs picked up the former part of the phrase, without having any idea what it meant, and kept repeating it as a greeting to puzzled new troops from 1943 through 1944. |
