Driberg also illustrates some of MRA's other tactics. They are fond of attributing quotes to people who never said them, especially mayors and top officials who cannot politically afford to issue a denial.

...Lost Face. Borges calls them footnotes to unwritten books. "Mankind has lost a face," he writes in one, barely a page long. "We lost these features in the same way as an image in a kaleidoscope is lost forever. We may see them, and not know it. The profile of a Jew in the subway may be that of Christ; the hands which give us some coins at a change window may recall those which some soldiers once nailed to the Cross...
