Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage amongst his
books. For to you Kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and
enduring, but to him the are but toys of the moment, to be overturned
by the flicking of a finger....

"I charge that those who deprecate each fresh act of aggression and
in the same breath declare that the United States must not do
anything about it are both hypocrites and cowards. This is the
time to preach a crusade - the old-fashioned kind, not the modern
effeminate type."- George Crompton, Jr., in a letter to the New
York Times, 15Apr40 (from the sci.military 50 Years Ago series).

"in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorways to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
in your eyes
the heat I see in your eyes"
from "In Your Eyes", from the _So_ ablum by Peter Gabriel

How to Prevent a Dead Person from Becoming a Vampire
(also from "Vampires, Burial, and Death", by Paul Barber)
1. Bury him face down.
2. Put something in or near his mouth to prevent him from chewing.
Objects that have been found effective when placed in the mouth include:
a coin, a cross of wax or cotton, a piece of pottery, sod, and a
songbook. Other methods that can also be used to prevent him from
chewing include a brick placed under the chin and tying his mouth shut
(although the knot must be undone before burial).
3. Feed him.
4. Leave him a candle, a coin, and/or a towel.
5. Drive a hawthorne peg into his grave.
6. Put incense, wool, or jade in his orifices.
7. Put granular substances in his grave or along the path to the
graveyard. These include millet, sea sand, mustard seeds, oats, linen
seeds, carrot seeds and poppy seeds.
8. Tie several knots in something, like a rope, net, or stocking and
leave it in the grave. (Some cultures believe that knots should not be
left in coffins after burial, though.)
9. Leave a sharp object in the grave. One particularly popular example
is a sickle.
10. Shoot him (or at least fire into the grave). Note that the bullets
do not necessarily need to be silver.
11. Tie up his feet or knees. (Again, some cultures require untying the
knots before burial.)
12. Bury him a s far away as possible.
13. Decapitate him.
14. Cremate him.

Everything you always wanted to know about Arab attitudes toward
Israel, but were afraid to ask....
Part 29:
``Jerusalem's occupation is a deep wound bleeding in our hearts and
souls.... We are determined to recover it and continue to pursue its
recovery together with our beloved land Palestine. This, however,
cannot be achieved by talking about it or by talking about peace, but
through patience and sound planning and by efforts and //jihad//, and
above all through unity of the word and the closing of ranks.''
- King Khalid of Saudi Arabia, //Riyadh Domestic Service//, March 8,
- 1980
