...tragedy of my people from far away in comfortable circumstances. No, no, I participated in it. Those who heard my radio appeals to my homeland know that every hot word of my fury was directed only against the seducers in power in Germany and their crimes.

But Serrano found the same proportion of failures among goats which, he insists, were not nervous. Animals also give the lie to scoffers who say that the effect of ixbut is psychosomatic.
