When the orchestra was scheduled to play in Lisbon last year, 500 Nazi "music lovers" applied for Portuguese visas in order to attend the concert in person. Portugal, suspecting the Nazis' lust for music, refused...

On the contrary: the typical human product of our time, especially among the leaders of our society, is either a paranoid personality, warped by delusions of grandeur and an insatiable lust for power, or a split personality, in which the intellectual, the emotional and the practical sides are divided into watertight compartments.

It accuses British lust for profit and fear of Indian industrial competition of keeping India's population 75% supported by agriculture, only 2% by modern industry...
