There should have been 1,691. But last minute scandal kept five pictures off Burlington House's chaste walls. Year ago one Mark Symons painted what the penny press described as the Picture of the Year. Not particularly well painted, harsh in color, it was a crucifixion with a Flanders battlefield as a background. There were modern British soldiers, gas masks, hand grenades and other impedimenta and it bore the imposing title "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?''

His problem finally resolved itself into the title of his book: who moved the stone from Jesus' tomb? Author Morison's book is written like...
...would be very welcome. A cat tastes somewhat like a rabbit, but not nearly so full flavored. A dog nicely cooked is better than cat." Puleston saw some strange sights: a human sacrifice of over 100 victims, to provide a bath of blood for a native king; a crucifixion; a fight between two crocodiles, between a native and a boa constrictor. Twice he met Explorer Stanley, "discoverer" of Livingstone. Says Puleston: Stanley's real name was John Rowlands...
