Something Like Nehru. There is a world of difference between the two leaders. The Thai Premier runs a sometimes benign, sometimes malevolent dictatorship whose inner-circle corruption is legendary even in an area where corruption is taken as a matter of course. President Diem's own South Viet Nam regime has its share of corruption, and Diem has autocratic inclinations, but he is personally austere and moralistic. Pibulsonggram rarely if ever sets himself forth as a political philosopher...
Indeed, said Jesuit John Courtney Murray, "the first church-related school [founded by Origen in the 3rd century] came into being in answer to an inner need of the human spirit as it was caught in the clashing encounter between Christianity and all the knowledge symbolized by the Alexandrian Museum.

His ability to give airy nothings a local habitation and a name is untouched by the delusory subject matter. There is reality amid the hallucinations. Many standard Waugh phobias, e.g., journalists, book reviewers, evangelical clergymen, may be identified. In a prefatory note, the publishers state: "Three years ago Mr. Waugh suffered a brief bout of hallucination closely resembling...
