...Public Salvation." It had been a masterful performance so far. When Katanga's bulky ex-President returned to the Congo last month, it seemed incredible that he could hope to form a government. Cursed as a tool of Belgium's copper-producing Union Minie´re, accused by some of the murder of Patrice Lumumba, and driven out of the country by the force of United Nations arms, Tshombe appeared to have nothing in his favor...
Many philosophers still regard theology as illogical nonsense; but within the past decade, a number of British theologians have increasingly found linguistic analysis to be a helpful tool in interpreting the religion "games."

This impression was fed by the bad assumptions made by many reporters and commentators in the first minutes after the assassination in conservative Dallas, and it has never been fully erased. "The American press," declared Italy's left-wing magazine Vie Nuove in a recent issue, "has forgotten its glorious tradition of truth and democracy, playing along...
