Contemporary saucer sightings, wrote Carl Gustav Jung in a book published before his death in 1961, are an outgrowth of the troubled international situation and gradual erosion among Christians of belief in a God who can intervene to save man from his own folly.

Grady is a cynic; as his talk reveals. he has no sympathy for those who work for a candidate so they can go back and boast about it, and even less sympathy for those who get involved so they "can save the city."
