...from Jerusalem. No less obvious was Osagyefo's growing Messiah complex. Apparently Nkrumah really believes that he is the "Saviour of Africa." To associates, he said recently: "I am like the man who walked into Jerusalem 2,000 years ago and got the people to follow him." A newspaper has published a new lexicon of titles for Nkrumah that make royal rankings seem pale by comparison. Among the titles...
...Yordan moves swiftly and synoptically through the Gospels: The Nativity, The Flight into Egypt. The Massacre of the Innocents; Christ's boyhood, baptism and temptation in the desert; Salome's Dance and the murder of John the Baptist; the Sermon on the Mount, the triumphal procession to Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, the Trial before Pilate, the Ascent of Calvary, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection.

From Squarcione and from the university city 01 Padua, Mantegna learned to love Italy's classical heritage. But to classic balance and order, he added his own intense sense of drama and an audacious willingness to experiment. In the Agony, he transformed Padua into Jerusalem. There is an eerie tranquillity about the scene, like the stillness before an earth quake. As Jesus prays, soldiers are already on the way to seize him. In a few moments, his final agonies will begin...
