...French do not want publicity on their role in Biafra. But why are they so intent on keeping the war alive? A businessman here says the reason is Biafran oil: "A million barrels of oil a day, or about one-third the production capacity of Kuwait. That kind of oil production is worth gambling for, even if the odds are against you." In addition, Charles de Gaulle relishes any chance he finds to annoy the British, who are backing the Nigerian government.

He is the typical Brechtian hero-heel, a seemingly intrepid liberator of mankind who is cringingly adept at saving his own skin, a born false Messiah. Brecht rather ingenuously indicts Galileo for not ushering in a sempiternal age of reason and for recanting before the agents of the Inquisition. Actually, Western man adopted an unquestioning faith in science that more than redressed any betrayal of freedom of thought that might properly be ascribed to Galileo. But the earth and men's minds have turned again since Galileo...
