Sirs: It is with gratification that I note your continued objectivity. I should emphasize that I am not a Catholic-baiter, a Jew-baiter, or anything else that smacks of intolerance. But as a student of modern European history there are some facts I cannot fail to note...

"O Krishna," he cried, "at the sight of these my kinsmen assembled here eager to give battle, my limbs fail and my mouth is parched . . . . I desire neither victory nor empire nor even any pleasure. . . . I would not kill though they should kill me. . . .
