...breaks with normal existence, taking man out of his ordinary life and projecting him "into a universe different in quality, an entirely different world, transcendent and holy." Beginning with a quotation from Goethe's Faust, another essay in the book explores the widespread legend that God and the Devil were brothers, and relates it to the equally ancient conception of the androgyne (hermaphrodite) as a mystical symbol of wholeness; both stories, Eliade argues, represent man's prephilosophic attempt to reconcile the existence in the world of such opposites as good and evil...
...Fork-Tailed Devil. The Electra 10 turned Lockheed into a better-thangoing concern, and World War II converted it into a giant. Its P-38 Lightning, the only U.S. fighter in continuous service throughout World War II, was dubbed by Luftwaffe pilots "der gabel-schwanz Teufel"-"the fork-tailed devil." Making Hudsons for the British before the U.S. entered World War II, Lockheed ran into the U.S. Neutrality Act, which forbade either U.S. or British citizens to ship or fly the planes from the U.S. to Britain.

A seven-day, 60-hour week is the very minimum for this course." Rising at 6:30 in his two-story French villa, Westmoreland does 25 push-ups and a few isometric exercises, usually breakfasts alone (his family, along with 1,800 other dependents, was ordered out of the country by the President last February, is now in Honolulu). At his desk by 7:30, he rarely leaves it before nightfall, even...
