...Pascal Calabrese, the former Mrs. Leonhard's new husband, was paroled soon after his testimony helped convict five Mafiosi, including a reputed underboss who got 20 years. A "contract" was reportedly out on Calabrese and his family, but the informer went directly from prison to a new residence and identity, complete with faked supporting credentials that a grateful Government had provided for him, his new wife and the three Leonhard children. That was fine for them, but "what about me?" Leonhard asks...

Sages. Not everybody can, does or will But in some quarters Castaneda s works are extravagantly admired as a revival of a mode of cognition that has been largely neglected in the West, buried by materialism and Pascal's despair, since the Renaissance. Says Mike Murphy a founder of the Esalen Institute: "The essential lessons Don Juan has to teach are the timeless ones that have been taught by the great sages of India and the spiritual masters of modern times " Author Alan Watts argues that Castaneda's books offer an alternative to both the guilt-ridden Judaeo-Chns-tian...

Pascal, that ardent custodian of language, would have endorsed Mallarme's notion that "Tout, au monde, existe pour aboutir a un livre."
