...very obvious attack on religion in this country took place May 4, 1969 when a man had the unmitigated gall to walk into a church and demand 60% of its annual income for "reparation" for slavery [May 16]. I question the true motives of people like Forman. I don't believe they are after reparation; I believe they are after something bigger, whether it be an attempt to establish black supremacy, or part of a plan even more nefarious.

...phrase goes, no time for religion; yet his work is infused with a poetic sense of the sanctity of all life and with the faculty of a primitive animist?vestigial in modern man ?of investing inanimate objects with life. He is inclined to deny that any utility, morality or heavy philosophical meaning should be attributed to his art. He dismisses such suggestions with the same scorn that he once made use of when a clubwoman asked him what butterflies were for. Nevertheless, certain deductions can be drawn from Nabokov's writing. In Bend Sinister, he composed a picture...
