When he tries a peppy "Not Since Nineveh" (a Kismet item that should be cut anyway), it falls sadly flat...
Witnessing this worldwide obduracy, writers as disparate as Naturalist Konrad Lorenz and Novelist Arthur Koestler have redefined Homo sapiens as Homo maniacus, arguing that man appears doomed by some inherent quirk to follow the dinosaur into oblivion. Among the apocalyptically minded, the only question is where Armageddon will begin. Harlem or the Hotel Majestic? The Sorbonne or the Sinai Peninsula...
