she offered the perfect alibi. The woman explained
that she had gone to see "Don Giovanni" at the

Still, the amount of pressure on the draft dodgers
and their friends is minimal in Canada. The U.S.
expatriates point out that the absence of a Canadian
draft gives them far more freedom.
"Everyone thinks that because the United States

Simply because the draft law was democratically

It had to happen! Sooner or later
someone was bound to let out the
secret — Baroque music is great.
Monday night's concert by the
Munich Chamber Orchestra was as
pleasing an announcement of this
fact as Handel himself might have
wished.
From the opening attack of Han-del's
"Concerto Grosso" to the final
release of Vivaldi's "The Four Sea-sons."
Conductor Hans Stadlmair
held the sixteen-piece orchestra
under a masterful spell. Though at
times nearly motionless, Stadlmair
controlled every pulsation of the'
music.

"The Ringwariths are deadly
enemies, but they are only shag
dows yet of the power and terror
they would possess if the Ruling
Ring was on their master's hand
again." This is the driving force
in J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy The
Lord of the Rings.
In The


Hobbit, an introductory
novel to the trilogy, we are intro-duced
to the "Hobbit" — small,
stout, stocky people, supported by
tough leathery feet covered with
thick, curly hair—who inhabited
the Shire during the Third Age of
Middle-earth.
The Hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Pip-pin
and Merry, have been select-ed
to carry the Ring to the
Cracks of Doom in the depth of
the Fire-Mountain which lies in
Mordor. This fire is the only
means to destroy the Ring which
has powers of invisibility and is
wholly evil and all powerful in
the hands of its maker Sauron,
the Dark Lord.
Thus, Frodo, his friends, and
kindred races (elves and men)
carrying the fate of Middle-earth,
journey into Mordor and thereby
encounter moments of terror and
the resistance of evil.

traveled to the "Tolkien Festival"
on


Saturday, October 29, at Man-kato
State College.
The purpose of the conference
was two-fold: to sponsor good
literary criticism and to gather
Hobbit fans together. We were
addressed by several speakers
from various universities includ-ing:
David M. Miller, Purdue
University; Dorothy K. Barbar,
U. of M. Morris; and George
Burke Johnston, Virginia Poly-technic
Institute.
Each speaker dealt with a re-lated
topic such as, the meaning
of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's
moral universe, his intention in
the trilogy and his sources.
The highlight of the conference
was Mrs. Barbar's dissertation on
the meaning in the trilogy. Tol-kien,
being a Christian, has de-picted
good and evil as presented
in the Bible, man's struggle in
free will which is possessed by
every living thing in Middle-earth
(including the Ring), and Provi-dence
which works beyond the
reach of man.
Thus the trilogy can be read for
its Christian implications or mere-ly
for the pure delight of living
in a suspense-filled fantasy ofMeredith
Willson Christmas-motif musical, "Here's Love."
ART
Augsburg College is pleased to announce the opening of the A.
Malcolm Gimse sculpture and ceramics show in the Scholarship Gallery,

This non-profit gallery was developed, and is being promoted by
the Augsburg College Student Development Council. Its purpose is
to exhibit the work of well known midwestern artists and that of the
Augsburg students.
Through the sale of these works, a scholarship fund has been
established for deserving Augsburg students.
The Student Development Council cordially invites you to visit the
Scholarshop. The hours are: Monday through Friday 3:30 to 6:00 and
Saturday and Sunday 1:00 through 6:00.
MUSIC
Tenor Jon Crain and Baritone Morley Meredith, both of whom have
sung with the Metropolitan Opera, have been cast in the St. Paul Civic
Opera's


coming production of Offenbach's last opera, "Tales of Hoff-mann."
The work will be presented in English at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday,
Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 12 in the St. Paul Auditorium theater.
Crain, who will have the title role, is one of the busiest operatic
performers on the scene today. Earlier this year he sang Hoffmann
with the Geneva Opera and had a leading role in the American pre-miere
of "Angel of Fire" with the New York City Opera. Last year he
sang Herod in a concert performance of "Salome" with the Minneapolis
Symphony.
While studying for the operatic stage, Crain worked as a featured
vocalist with Xavier Cugat's dance band. He also once had a coast to
coast radio show under the name of Victor Brones.
Also a recording artist, he sings Mr. Snow in a recent recordingof
Richard Rodgers' "Carousel" opposite Roberta Peters and Alfred Drake,
haS recorded highlights from Hoffmann with Rosalind Elias and Marcia
Singher and on the Metropolitan Guild recording of "Tosca" he is heard
as Cavaradossi.
Meredith made his debut at the Met in 1962 in the four baritone
roles of Hoffmann, the same parts he will sing in the Civic Opera
production.
In addition to successes with major festivals and guest appearances
with orchestras throughout the United States and Canada. Prior to his
Met debut, he co-starred on Broadway with Maureen O'Hara in the
musical, "Christine."
Twin cities artists who will have featured roles are Joan Lindusky,
256 Twelfth Ave. S., South St. Paul; Bruce Neilson, 6313 Mildred Ave.,
Minneapolis; Lois Duffy, 3809 Washburn Ave. S., Minneapolis; Carol
Stuart, 502 Texas Ave., Hopkins; and Christine McSpadden, 5315 Colum-bus
Ave., Minneapolis.
Others in the cast from the


New York stage include Gail Manners,
last seen here in "Marriage of Figaro" with her husband, Walter
Cassel, as Guiletta; and Luigi Velluci as Cochenille.
Tickets to "Tales of Hoffman" are available by mail order from
the Central Ticket Office, 14 West 5th St., St. Paul.

German musicians played a state-ly
"Divertimento" by the classi-cal
master Joseph Haydn. Here
especially Stadlmair projected
himself into the mood and style
of the music, much to the de-light
of conducting enthusiasts.
At times he conducted with fac-ial
expressions only! But the
group never faltered.
The concert began Baroque and
fittingly ended there too. Antonio
Vivaldi's magnificent "The Four
Seasons" was a delight from be-ginning
to end. One hardly knew
where to direct his attention; to
Stadlmair, so beautifully conduct-,

intense in his virtuosity, or to

The Seminary football team
again this year has been one of
the powers in the intramural lea-gue.
In rolling over Asbury 26-6,
Second Old 28-0, First Floor44-0,
and Third New by forfeit, the Sem-inary
has appeared to be the tough
est team in the league.
Undoubtedly the Semnariy has
shown the best offense and pos-sibly
the best defense of any team
in intramurals.
The offense, led by quarter-back
Duane Johnson and flanker
Dennis Port, has relied heavily
on a potent passing attack.
Quarterback Johnson in three
league games and in one ex-hibition
has thrown fourteen
touchdown passes, and Port has
received six of them.
Dave Kastelein, blocking back,
has scored on two touchdown pas-ses,
and ends Bruce Ericson and
Mark Coleman are also capable
receivers.
The offensive line consisting of
guards Bill Hoyt and Bob McNeil
and center Dave Stribling, is by fat
the biggest in the school, includ-ing
the Bethel varsity.
The blocking of the line and
halfback Kastelein provides John-son
with ample time to get off
his passes, and to hit his re-ceivers.
Equally important to the Semin-ary's
success is their rugged de-fense.
The line,


Phelp's defense has yet to allow a point, al-though
the team has at least had some tight games. Their
tough, gutty play deserves a great deal of praise.
The Seminary team is another matter. Their defense
has given up one lone touchdown, while the offense has rol-led
up 97 points. However, praising their record is similar to
calling a 300 pound bum with a switch blade "sir." They
ought to be a powerhouse.
An inspection of their ranks shows the pulpiteers with
two boys who have been out for Bethel football, one that
reportedly played for Wheaton, and one lad who was a start-ing
back for Taylor. In addition, the rest of the fellows have
had three or four years of intramural experience.
Furthermore they have three times as many men to
draw from as the college intramural teams. With superior
numbers theyand furious and
withstood a second half scoring

37-13.
The contest was the hardest hit-ting
home clash of the season—
and it shows: Ron Harris, broken
wrist; Ken Irons, badly bruised
shoulder; John Carmean, bruised
elbow; Gary Wilson, undetermined
leg injury.
Mayville took the opening kick-off
and marched 63 yards
through the sieve-like Royal de-fense
in five plays for an early
score. Ron Strand, out the past
two seasons with broken legs,
displayed no handicaps in toting
the pigskin 30 yards to paydirt.
Ray Gibbons kicked the extra
point, and Mayville led 7-0
after less than two minutes of
play.
Following the kickoff, Al Se-lander
plucked a Bill Englund pass
for a first down near midfield.
However, the Royals were forced
to punt four plays later. The
Comets then moved the ball from
the 22 to the 35 yard line where
they were forced to punt.
In the next two minutes three
key breaks


emerged. Englund fum-bled
on his own 41 and the Comets
recovered. The Bethel defense rose
to the occasion and held, but a
roughing-the-kicker penalty gave
Mayville a first down on the Royal
26. Two plays later Strand scored
again, this time on a 23 yard toss
from quarterback Jim Dews. The
try for point was wide.
Shortly after came the break
which discouraged the Royals.
On the ensuing kickoff, Dave
Pound came within one tackle
of going 90 yards for a touch-down.
As it was, the Royals had
good field position on the Comet
44 yard line. Englund then hit
John Carmean with a pass on
the buttonhook pattern for a
first down on the 32.
On the next play, in eagerness
to get away, Dave Moss fumbled
and Mayville recovered on its own
20. This time the North Dakotans
drove 80 yards with Parker Wil-liams
capping the drive with a 14
yard double reverse.a 50
yard scoring sweep. Along the way

Last Saturday, Como Park was
the site of Bethel's third straight
victory in cross country. Under
sunny skies and a rather cold tem-perature
of forty degrees, the
Royal harriers put on a fine dis-play
of long distince running in
topping St. Paul Bible College by
a score of 22-33.
Freshman Steve Johnson turned
in a masterful performance in tak-ing
first place in the meet. In
leading his team to victory, he cov-ered
the 3.8 mile course in 19:38.
This was his best time, and in
fact, it was only five seconds from
Bethel's freshman record.
Also establishing his best time,
20:45, was Steve Roe. This gave
him a third place finish for his
team. Two of his fellow team-mates,
Dave Moulton and Dave
Haring, were right behind him,
the former finishing fourth and
the latter taking fifth


place for the
Royals. Moulton's time was 20:05
while Haring's was 21:40. Ken Min-nis
took ninth.
The lone bright spot for St. Paul
Bible College was a second place
finish by Ken Ehresman. His time
was 20:04. The four other partici-pants
for St. Paul Bible took sixth,
seventh, eighth, and tenth places.
reserves. Larry Peterson added the
PAT.
Three characteristics marked the
remainder of the game-1) hard
hitting defense, 2) a leaping field
goal block by Bethel's Dave An-derson,
and 3) the inability of both
teams to move the ball consistent-ly.
(Gibbons, however, later added
a field goal for Mayville.) The
first and last characteristics quite
possibly are related.
For example, Mayville picked
up 218 yards rushing the first
half but only 31 in the second.
On the other hand, Bethel's most
potent offensive weapon, the for-ward
pass, was quite sporadic.
Englund hit six of eleven the
first half, but only seven of
twenty-four in the second. Intrip.

Illinois was host last week
to the American Association of
Evangelical Students. The confer-ence
held on Thursday and Fri-day,
October 27 and 28, was at-tended
by three delegates from
Bethel College.
Chief consideration for the con-ference
was the theme "Our Chris-tian
Heritage." Dr. Gordon Clark,
and Dr. Martin Marty were two
prominent guests at the regional
conference who addressed them-selves
to the relationship of his-tory
and the Christian.
Dr. Clark ina one hour ad-dress
spoke to the delegates on
"The Marxist Theory of History,"
of the delegates represented Bible
colleges, with a sizable represen-tation
from Christian liberal arts
schools.
Representatives from Bethel
were Jim Keim, Linda C. Olson,
and Jonathan P. Larson. The
delegation left the campus Wed-nesday
and returned Saturday.
Sidelights to the conference
were the performance of Frostiana
by the Olivet Orpheus, Viking, and
Trebel choirs, and an evening din-ner
concluding the meetings.
Business confronting the con-ference
included a discussion of
the purposes of the organization,
the ideological stance of the or-ganization,
and the increased de-sire
for exchange of ideas between
representative schools.

A spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted

And the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote in a
recent editorial, "The granting of political asylum
is an accepted principle in all civilized countries.
Canada cannot decently breach this principle."
At the University of Toronto admissions director
E.M. Davidson says the draft status of American
applicants is not a factor in admission to the school.
"We admit exclusively on academic and behavioral
grounds."

from American men to the school. In fact, the num-ber

on Saturday, October 29, at Man-kato
State College.
The purpose of the conference
was two-fold: to sponsor good
literary criticism and to gather
Hobbit fans together. We were
addressed by several speakers
from various universities includ-ing:
David M. Miller, Purdue
University; Dorothy K. Barbar,
U. of M. Morris; and George
Burke Johnston, Virginia Poly-technic
Institute.
Each speaker dealt with a re-lated
topic such as, the meaning
of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's
moral universe, his intention in
the trilogy and his sources.
The highlight of the conference
was Mrs. Barbar's dissertation on
the meaning in the trilogy. Tol-kien,
being a Christian, has de-picted
good and evil as presented
in the Bible, man's struggle in
free will which is possessed by
every living thing in Middle-earth
(including the Ring), and Provi-dence
which works beyond the
reach of man.
Thus the trilogy can be read for
its Christian implicationsor mere-ly
for the pure delight of living
in a suspense-filled fantasy of Mid-dle-
earth.

THEATRE
Arthur Miller's drama, "Death of a Salesman" will be held over
at St. Paul's Eastside Theatre.
Managing director Craig Scherfenberg announced today that the
popular drama will get a one week extension of its run, with addi-tional
performances scheduled for November 4 and 5.
The holdover came because of turn-away crowds and sellout per-formances,
Scherfenberg said.
"Death of a Salesman" stars Stu Gang and Rosemary Hartup in the
tense story of a travelling salesman whose crumbling life leads him to-ward
suicide.
Performances are 8:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Nov.
5, at the theatre, 311 Ramsey St., St. Paul. Reservations are necessary.

Augsburg College is pleased to announce the opening of the A.
Malcolm Gimse sculpture and ceramics show in the Scholarship Gallery,
October 20 to November 11. The Scholarshop, located on 23rd and River-side,
reopened on September 26.
This non-profit gallery was developed, and is being promoted by
the Augsburg College Student Development Council. Its purpose is
to exhibit the work of well known midwestern artists and that of the
Augsburg students.
Through the sale of these works, a scholarship fund has been
established for deserving Augsburg students.
The Student Development Council cordially invites you to visit the
Scholarshop. The hours are: Monday through Friday 3:30 to 6:00 and
Saturday and Sunday 1:00 through 6:00.
MUSIC
Tenor Jon Crain and Baritone Morley Meredith, both of whom have
sung withthe Metropolitan Opera, have been cast in the St. Paul Civic
Opera's coming production of Offenbach's last opera, "Tales of Hoff-mann."
The work will be presented in English at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday,
Nov. 10 and Saturday, Nov. 12 in the St. Paul Auditorium theater.
Crain, who will have the title role, is one of the busiest operatic
performers on the scene today. Earlier this year he sang Hoffmann
with the Geneva Opera and had a leading role in the American pre-miere
of "Angel of Fire" with the New York City Opera. Last year he
sang Herod in a concert performance of "Salome" with the Minneapolis
Symphony.
While studying for the operatic stage, Crain worked as a featured
vocalist with Xavier Cugat's dance band. He also once had a coast to
coast radio show under the name of Victor Brones.
Also


a recording artist, he sings Mr. Snow in a recent recording of
Richard Rodgers' "Carousel" opposite Roberta Peters and Alfred Drake,
haS recorded highlights from Hoffmann with Rosalind Elias and Marcia
Singher and on the Metropolitan Guild recording of "Tosca" he is heard
as Cavaradossi.
Meredith made his debut at the Met in 1962 in the four baritone
roles of Hoffmann, the same parts he will sing in the Civic Opera
production.
In addition to successes with major festivals and guest appearances
with orchestras throughout the United States and Canada. Prior to his
Met debut, he co-starred on Broadway with Maureen O'Hara in the
musical, "Christine."
Twin cities artists who will have featured roles are Joan Lindusky,
256 Twelfth Ave. S., South St. Paul; Bruce Neilson, 6313 Mildred Ave.,
Minneapolis; Lois Duffy, 3809 Washburn Ave. S., Minneapolis; Carol
Stuart, 502 Texas Ave., Hopkins;and Christine McSpadden, 5315 Colum-bus
Ave., Minneapolis.
Others in the cast from the New York stage include Gail Manners,
last seen here in "Marriage of Figaro" with her husband, Walter
Cassel, as Guiletta; and Luigi Velluci as Cochenille.
Tickets to "Tales of Hoffman" are available by mail order from
the Central Ticket Office, 14 West 5th St., St. Paul.

The Seminary football team
again this year has been one of
the powers in


the intramural lea-gue.
In rolling over Asbury 26-6,
Second Old 28-0, First Floor 44-0,
and Third New by forfeit, the Sem-inary
has appeared to be the tough
est team in the league.
Undoubtedly the Semnariy has
shown the best offense and pos-sibly
the best defense of any team
in intramurals.
The offense, led by quarter-back
Duane Johnson and flanker
Dennis Port, has relied heavily
on a potent passing attack.
Quarterback Johnson in three
league games and in one ex-hibition
has thrown fourteen
touchdown passes, and Port has
received six of them.
Dave Kastelein, blocking back,
has scored on two touchdown pas-ses,
and ends Bruce Ericson and
Mark Coleman are also capable
receivers.
The offensive line consisting of
guards Bill Hoyt and Bob McNeil
and center Dave Stribling, is by fat
the biggest in the school, includ-ing
the Bethel varsity.
The blocking of the line and
halfback Kastelein provides John-son
with ample time to get off
his passes, and to hitthe
league is poorly balanced with Phelps and Seminary wiping up
all competition. Phelp's defense has yet to allow a point, al-though
the team has at least had some tight games. Their
tough, gutty play deserves a great deal of praise.
The Seminary team is another matter. Their defense
has given up one lone touchdown, while the offense has rol-led
up 97 points. However, praising their record is similar to
calling a 300 pound bum with a switch blade "sir." They
ought to be a powerhouse.
An inspection of their ranks shows the pulpiteers with
two boys who have been out for Bethel football, one that
reportedly played for Wheaton, and one lad who was a start-ing
back for Taylor. In addition, the rest of the fellows have

Third Straight
Page 6 the CLARION
The Mayville Comets of North
Dakota struck fast and furious and
withstood a second half scoring
drought to beat the Bethel Royals
37-13.
The contest was the hardest hit-ting
home clash of the season—
and it shows: Ron Harris, broken
wrist; Ken Irons, badly bruised
shoulder; John Carmean, bruised
elbow; Gary Wilson, undetermined
leg injury.
Mayville took the opening kick-off
and marched 63 yards
through the sieve-like Royal de-fense
in five plays for an early
score. Ron Strand, out the past
two seasons with broken legs,
displayed no handicaps in toting
the pigskin 30 yards to paydirt.
Ray Gibbons kicked the extra
point, and Mayville led 7-0
after less than two minutes of
play.
Following the kickoff, Al Se-lander
plucked a Bill Englund pass
for a first down near midfield.
However, the Royals were forced
to punt four plays later. The
Comets then moved the ball from
the 22 to the 35 yard linewhere
they were forced to punt.
In the next two minutes three
key breaks emerged. Englund fum-bled
on his own 41 and the Comets
recovered. The Bethel defense rose
to the occasion and held, but a
roughing-the-kicker penalty gave
Mayville a first down on the Royal
26. Two plays later Strand scored
again, this time on a 23 yard toss
from quarterback Jim Dews. The
try for point was wide.
Shortly after came the break
which discouraged the Royals.
On the ensuing kickoff, Dave
Pound came within one tackle
of going 90 yards for a touch-down.
As it was, the Royals had
good field position on the Comet
44 yard line. Englund then hit
John Carmean with a pass on
the buttonhook pattern for a
first down on the 32.
On the next play, in eagerness
to get away, Dave Moss fumbled
and Mayville recovered on its own
20. This time the North Dakotans
drove 80


minds. Three minutes into
the third quarter, Dave Pound
"Chagrined" the Comets with a 50
yard scoring sweep. Along the way
he flirted with the sidelines and
nearly danced with the Mayville
Last Saturday, Como Park was
the site of Bethel's third straight
victory in cross country. Under
sunny skies and a rather cold tem-perature
of forty degrees, the
Royal harriers put on a fine dis-play
of long distince running in
topping St. Paul Bible College by
a score of 22-33.
Freshman Steve Johnson turned
in a masterful performance in tak-ing
first place in the meet. In
leading his team to victory, he cov-ered
the 3.8 mile course in 19:38.
This was his best time, and in
fact, it was only five seconds from
Bethel's freshman record.
Also establishing his best time,
20:45, was Steve Roe. This gave
him a third place finish for his
team. Two of his fellow team-mates,
Dave Moulton and Dave
Haring,were right behind him,
the former finishing fourth and
the latter taking fifth place for the
Royals. Moulton's time was 20:05
while Haring's was 21:40. Ken Min-nis
took ninth.
The lone bright spot for St. Paul
Bible College was a second place
finish by Ken Ehresman. His time
was 20:04. The four other partici-pants
for St. Paul Bible took sixth,
seventh, eighth, and tenth places.
reserves. Larry Peterson added the
PAT.
Three characteristics marked the
remainder of the game-1) hard
hitting defense, 2) a leaping field
goal block by Bethel's Dave An-derson,
and 3) the inability of both
teams to move the ball consistent-ly.
(Gibbons, however, later added
a field goal for Mayville.) The
first and last characteristics quite
possibly are related.
For example, Mayville picked
up 218 yards rushing the first
half but only 31 in the second.
On the other hand, Bethel's most
potent offensive weapon, the for-ward
pass, was quite sporadic.

Until now, we have reasoned on a single genealogy linking the chromosomes of a sample. However, the coalescent theory took into account, from the very beginning, recombination events [HUD 83] that decouple the evolutionary histories of fragments on either side of the recombination points (Figure 4.5(a)). We will call linkage block the chromosome area located between two recombination points. Each linkage block has its own genealogy partially connected to that of neighboring blocks.

University of New Mexico, Albuquerque [SMI 14, MAL 15], places the start of this epoch 14,000 years ago, at the colonization of North America by the first hunter-gatherers, as this colonization caused the disappearance of several large species of herbivore. These animals produced large quantities of methane that were released into the atmosphere, thus contributing to natural global warming; the diminution of atmospheric methane may have then led to the younger Dryas.

SEOUL, May 21 (UPI) -- South Korea cautioned North Korea against conducting a nuclear test, warning the North that such a test would incur "a strong response from the international community."

Speaking at a regional security conference in Shanghai, Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae asserted, "If North Korea goes ahead with another nuclear test, it will face a concerted, firm and strong response from the international community."

China is likely to be some way ahead of the U.S by 2030, said John Hawksworth, head of macroeconomics at PWC.

According to the report, the top 10 economies by 2030 will be China, the U.S., India, Japan, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Mexico, France and Britain.

It is also predicted that China's share in global GDP will be 19% by 2030, while the proportion for the U.S. and EU will be 16% and 15% respectively.


A Life Dedicated to Combat

Atila Sinke Guimarães

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (1908-1995) was born into two traditional Brazilian families, his mother’s family from São Paulo – Ribeiro dos Santos – and his father’s from Pernambuco – Corrêa de Oliveira. The former was known for its social distinction, the latter for its intelligence and oratory skills. Plinio inherited the characteristics of both families.

When young, Plinio was the leader of the Marian Congregations in Brazil

After being formed in the Jesuit school of São Paulo and receiving a degree in Law, he entered the Catholic Movement and became the leader of the Marian Congregations in Brazil. The force of this Movement was such that in 1934 it elected Plinio, at age 24, to the National Congress, making him not only the country’syoungest representative, but also the one who received the most votes. In the House he fought to defend the civil rights of the Church and to pass laws, which for a long time upheld Catholic principles and institutions in the country.

Subsequent to his term in the House, he earned a chair in History of Civilization at the Law Faculty of São Paulo and another in Modern and Contemporary History at the Catholic Pontifical University, also in São Paulo.

In 1933, he was asked by the Cardinal of São Paulo to direct the Archdiocesan weekly journal O Legionário (The Legionary). For many years he was its editor and gathered around him a group of distinguished writers who followed him on a lifetime journey. From a simple Archdiocesan bulletin the paper


was transformed in the late ‘30s and ‘40s into the most influential Catholic organ of the country.

The writers of O Legionário became famous for their pugnacious stand against Communism, Nazism and Freemasonry, as well as for defending Christian Civilization and championing a culture coherent with the doctrine of the Catholic Church. In the religious sphere, they combated the nascent Progressivism, which was rising from the ashes of Modernism with the same poison, but new tactics, higher ambitions and a more prudent posturing.

Fr. Castro Mayer alongside Prof. Plinio and the Legionário team of writers

Those writers considered themselves continuers of the ultramontane movement of the 19th century in Europe. Among others, two priests joined the group: Fr. Geraldo Sigaud and Fr. Antônio de Castro Mayer.

In 1940, Prof. Plinio was chosento be president of Catholic Action in São Paulo. From this post, he carefully watched the insidious progressivist infiltration into the religious milieu. By 1943 he fully realized its maneuvers and wrote a book denouncing its strategy – In Defense of the Catholic Action (Em Defesa da Ação Católica). Later he described the launching of that book as a kamikaze operation: he delayed the influence of Progressivism in Brazil, but blew up his own career along with the target.

Indeed, the Cardinal of São Paulo who favored his work died and, after the short term of another, a progressivist took his place in 1944. Prof. Plinio lost the presidency of Catholic Action and the direction of O Legionário. A phase of persecution and ostracism began.

He and the two mentioned


priests agreed to continue the Counter-Revolution despite the consequences. Sometime later, Fr. Sigaud was made Bishop, followed by Fr. Castro Mayer. The union of the three was so strong that each Bishop adopted in his coat-of-arms the rampant lion Prof. Plinio had chosen to symbolize his fight.

A new monthly paper, edited and published in São Paulo with the approval of Castro Mayer, now Bishop of Campos, took the name Catolicismo (1951) and recommenced the public fight. The Catolicismo group attracted younger persons, who drew in yet others. With this growing movement, in 1960 he founded the Brazilian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property – the TFP.

Published in 1959 Revolution and Counter-Revolution became the handbook for the TFPs everywhere

To provide guidelines for that group, in 1959Prof. Plinio wrote Revolution and Counter-Revolution – R-CR, which became his masterpiece. In it he analyzed the Revolution’s historical process that started in the Middle Ages. The Renaissance and Humanism were its first manifestations; later it generated Protestantism, the French Revolution and Communism.

He also described its later phases: namely, the Fourth Revolution (the Cultural Revolution of the ‘60s), which tends toward Tribalism and a Pentecostal religion; the metamorphosis of Communism after the dissolution of the USSR; the infiltration of Progressivism in the Church, which changed the focus of the R-CR fight. Now, it had to be fought inside the Church.

The ideals of R-CR extended to other countries. In 1995, at his death, there were TFPs and similar organizations in 26 countries.

In the early ‘60s, Brazil was threatened by


Communism, supported by Progressivism in the Church. Both were proponents of a socialist land reform to destabilize farmers, the backbone of the country's economy. With economist Mendonça de Freitas, Prof. Plinio wrote a book against land reform and invited the Bishops to sign it: Agrarian Reform – a Question of Conscience (1963). A success, the book became the pivot for an enormous public reaction against Communism. An undesired byproduct of this general dissatisfaction was a military coup that deposed the brazenly red president-to-be and installed a socialist dictatorship in the country.

Prof. Plinio leaves Rome when he realizes he has done all he could at the Council

In 1959, John XXIII announced his intention to convene a Council. Prof. Plinio warned Archbishop Sigaud and Bishop Mayer that they should studycertain Fr. Fernando Rifan – an expert in intrigue – was gaining the ear of Bishop Mayer. Rifan, who hated Prof. Plinio and the TFP, induced the Bishop to soften his position against Progressivism to the point that Bishop Mayer in some talks assumed the principles of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. In Rome he was photographed holding hands with JPII. Consequently, his visits to São Paulo ceased.

In the early ‘80s, a rancorous high-school teacher, Orlando Fedeli, left the TFP because he felt his talents were not sufficiently recognized. At his rupture he wrote three letters disclosing “evidence” that Prof. Plinio had transformed the TFP into “a cult to worship himself and his mother.” Soon after he left, he sold his story to one of the


to the Society of St. Pius X, spread the same lies to this organization, which continues to propagate them among its priests and seminarians.

This campaign is just one in a list of many defamatory offensives made against Prof. Plinio.

The Brazilian TFP was also condemned at various times by the very progressivist Brazilian Bishops. Some of these condemnations were duly answered; others not, simply because they were too biased to be credible.

Altogether Prof. Plinio published 15 books.

A TFP street campaign celebrating the defeat of divorce

He also spearheaded many petition drives carried out by the TFP including:

A petition against divorce in Brazil, 1966, 1 million signatures;

A request to Paul VI to stop the communist infiltration in the Church, 1968, 2 million signatures total in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.

An entreatyfor the liberation and independence of Lithuania, 1990, 5.2 million signatures.

It was Prof. Plinio who asked Arnaldo Xavier da Silveira to study Paul VI’s New Mass (1969) as well as the possibility of a heretic Pope. Silveira’s book was published in
Portuguese (1972) and in French (1975). [An English version is available
here]

After Paul VI launched Liberation Theology in Medellin, Colombia (1968), Prof. Plinio made several campaigns against this new thrust of communist infiltration in the Church.

In 1974 he wrote a position of resistance against the Vatican Ostpolitik, that is, its collaboration with the communist regimes. This Declaration of Resistance, which made him the pioneer of Catholic Resistance, was published in 21 newspapers in 10 countries.

In 1982 he asked me to write and publish a collection analyzing Vatican II, which


I did under his guidance and encouragement.

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira was the Catholic giant who, for many decades, held Communism at bay in South America. He also held back the advance of Progressivism in the Church as much as he could.

One aspect that official biographies of this Catholic thinker and man of action do not address is the moral and physical sufferings Prof. Plinio endured.

In the mid ‘70s, seeing how worldly and lukewarm TFP members had become, he offered his life to Our Lady to redeem that situation. Some days later, on February 3, 1975, he was in a serious car accident, suffering a broken hand, arm, leg and hip as well as severe injuries to his eyelids, lips and teeth. These graves lesions demanded multiple surgeries, causinghim enormous moral and physical sufferings. The arm, leg and hip surgeries had to be made twice, still without success. The effects of that accident remained with him to the end of his days, obliging him to rely on crutches or a wheelchair.

A tragic car accident that won more 20 years of fight for the TFPs

This suffering bought 20 more years of life for the TFPs. Toward the end, however, he confided to some friends: “If I were not in a wheelchair, they would expel me from the TFP.” He was referring to the directors who in theory followed his orientation, but in practice moved the TFP to a position of indifference and mediocrity.

When he was dying in the hospital in 1995, those directors lost no time in


sending a letter to the Cardinal Primate of Brazil, committing the TFP not to speak publicly against Vatican II, the New Mass or the Pope.

A few years after his death, a split among his followers over the question of authority took place. Today, one faction – which includes the American TFP – upholds that same agreement with the Vatican; the other completely adhered to the Conciliar Church. Many members of the latter became priests and have comfortable ecclesiastical careers.

Sadly, both sides had become weary of the fight against Progressivism, had reduced Prof. Plinio to a museum artifact and merged – in different ways and degrees – with that same enemy against which Prof. Plinio had fought his entire life.Ghassan Salame urges action to cut off arms flows to Libya, saying conflict there could imperil Mediterranean security.

The United Nations envoy for Libya has called for immediate action to cut off arms flows to the warring sides in Libya, warning that the ongoing battle for Tripoli was “just the start of a long and bloody war”.

Addressing the Security Council on Tuesday, Ghassan Salame said many countries were supplying weapons to the UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli and forces led by renegade general Khalifa Haftar.

The commander, who is allied to a rival administration in Libya’s east, launched an offensive to seize the capital on April 4, but his forces have been bogged down in the southern outskirts of Tripoli.

“The violence on the outskirts of Tripoli is


that toppled and killed longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi. The UN Security Council imposed an open-ended arms embargo on Libya in February of the same year.

More than 75,000 people have been driven from their homes in the latest fighting and 510 have been killed, according to the World Health Organization.

‘Periods of sheer terror’

In a confidential report to the Security Council earlier this month, UN experts said missiles fired at pro-Tripoli forces in April pointed to a likely drone attack that could involve a “third party,” possibly the United Arab Emirates. Haftar is backed by Egypt and the UAE.

In recent weeks, Salame said there has been an average of five night-time raids on GNA positions by “unknown aircraft”. For the residents of Tripoli, Ramadan nights “normally convivially spent in thesome pressure on the wider UN membership, particularly some of the regional countries.”

The Security Council failed last month to agree on a draft resolution demanding a ceasefire in Libya and a return to political talks to end the conflict.

Russia refused to include any mention of Haftar’s offensive on Tripoli while the United States said it needed more time to consider the situation, diplomats said.

Salame on Tuesday urged the council to set up a commission of inquiry to “determine who has taken up arms” and prevent indicted war crimes suspects from taking part in military operations.

The UN envoy voiced concern over possible war crimes, including the halting of water supplies to Tripoli and reports of attacks on medical personnel. He also said individuals under international sanctions and those wanted


is now obscured by a maze of overpasses and the shadow of Pakistan’s tallest building.

The promenade is part of a handful of buildings, along with the colonial-era Imperial Customs House, which have been restored to their former grandeur, but such projects are rare when the focus is on tearing down old and building new.

Rapid urbanization has ensured large-scale destruction, particularly in the old city areas, where more profitable multi-story residential buildings have sprung up.

But amid the new concrete, remnants of the colonial legacy can still be seen, often recognizable by their state of neglect.

The WHO's International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified glyphosate as a "probable carcinogen". Note that a similar EU classification as carcinogen category 1B "presumed to have carcinogenic potential for humans" would render glyphosate ineligible for re-approval in the EU.

This classification was based on "limited evidence" in humans and "sufficient evidence" in experimental animals as well as "strong evidence" that glyphosate exhibits two characteristics associated with carcinogens, namely genotoxicity and the ability to induce oxidative stress.

The health risk assessment prepared by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), on the other hand, stated that glyphosate was "unlikely to pose a


intended herbicidal uses".

The BfR has stated that"(t)he fact that different bodies assess issues differently ... is part and parcel of the risk assessment process". This clouds the fact that the BfR has not performed its assessment with the same level of resources and to the same rigorous standards followed by the IARC.

The IARC sets the scientific standard for EFSA to follow

The IARC Working Group comprised 17 world-class independent experts, assisted by the IARC secretariat. The experts took a year to review the evidential base for a single potential health effect of glyphosate, namely carcinogenicity, working to established review protocols in an open and transparent process.

In addition, an expert task force, which was set up to illuminate similar differences between two WHO bodies, the IARC and the Joint Meetingwork should be transparent and carried out by independent researchers without conflicts of interest.

2016 Election Trump

President-elect Donald Trump and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway celebrate during an election night rally Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2016, in New York.

(John Locher, Associated Press)

Donald Trump's campaign shifts toward his transition to the White House. Political players from across the globe weigh in on Trump's victory. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to say whether he supports Trump's border wall. Read more in today's Politics Extra.

The system is still rigged, even though he won: Donald Trump may have emerged victorious in the race for the White House, but his campaign is not giving up on the idea that things were "rigged" against him, reports Politico. "He would certainly say the system is rigged," Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today" Wednesday morning. "Whenhe says the election is rigged, Matt, what he was talking about- he couldn't believe he wasn't winning, look at these polls and hear ... everybody on TV constantly say he can't win, she (Hillary Clinton) is a shoo-in. Look what happened."

Trump's transition: The President-elect met Wednesday afternoon with his top advisers to discuss his transition, according to Politico. Among those gathered were Steve Bannon, Steven Mnuchin, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, Rick Dearborn and Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

Conway, Christie and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus helped to run the meeting, which focused on what needs to be done in the next few days.

Absent from the meeting? It's unclear whether Trump ally Ben Carson was


at Wednesday's meeting, but the former GOP candidate spoke out about his desired role in the Trump administration, reports Politico. "I think the replacement (of Obamacare) obviously must come first and it must be something that is very appealing and easy to understand," the retired neurosurgeon said in an interview. When asked if he intends to be involved in designing that plan, Carson said, "Yes, of course."

The world reacts: As Hillary Clinton conceded defeat to Trump Wednesday, saying, "We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead," other political players weighed in on the news.

Global leaders: Africa's first elected female president, Nicaragua's leftist president and the Philippines' foul-mouthed president nicknamed the "Trump of the East," among other international leaders, discussed their thoughts on the election. Readmore in The New York Times.

House Speaker: Paul Ryan congratulated Trump Wednesday, saying he will lead "a unified Republican government," reports CNN. "Donald Trump heard a voice out in this country that no one else heard," Ryan said in Janesville, Wisconsin. He added that more than 70 percent of voters said the country was headed in the wrong direction, and they picked Trump and Republicans to alter that course.

2012 GOP nominee: Ryan's former running mate Mitt Romney offered support for the President-elect Wednesday, reports Politico. "Best wishes for our duly elected president: May his victory speech be his guide and preserving the Republic his aim," the former Republican presidential nominee tweeted. The well wishes came after months of criticizing Trump's candidacy, calling the media mogul a "phony, a


fraud."

Bush 41: "Barbara and I congratulate @realDonaldTrump, wish him well as he guides America forward as our next President. His family is in our prayers," former President George H.W. Bush tweeted Wednesday.

U.S. Military: Defense Secretary Ash Carter issued a memo to everyone in the U.S. military Wednesday saying the election happened "freely and peacefully" because of their work, according to Time. "I am committed to overseeing the orderly transition to the next commander-in-chief," he said.

Kremlin: Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump and flagged Moscow's willingness to restore ties fully with its old Cold War foe, as the countries are currently at odds over the Syria conflict, reports CNN.

Build that wall? Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto tweeted Wednesday that he is ready to work with the U.S. to helpthe two countries tighten bonds of cooperation and mutual respect, according to NBC News. The two men met earlier in the campaign, after which they disagreed about reaching a consensus as to who would pay for a wall along the U.S. southern border.

McConnell: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused Wednesday to say whether he would support building the border wall, which was a signature issue of Trump's campaign, reports CNN. "I want to try to achieve border security in [a] way that is most effective," he said when pressed on whether he would support the plan. McConnell also declined to discuss his previous criticism of Trump's inflammatory comments about Hispanics.

Trump's support among minorities: Trump performed stronger among black and Latino voters than Romney did in 2012, according to


NBC Exit Polls. Trump claimed about 29 percent of the Hispanic vote Tuesday, compared to Romney's 27 percent four years ago. Among African American voters, exit polls show Trump with 8 percent, while Romney had 6 percent.

Not backing down quietly: People took to the streets across the country Wednesday to protest Trump's victory, reports CNN. Students walked out of class, activists burned trash fires and Lady Gaga even stood outside New York's Trump Tower with a sign that read "love trumps hate."are available for biomass supply-demand balances and biomass potential.

Biomass demand from different sectors

Demand for biomass as transportation fuel involves the production of biofuels from agricultural crops such as sugar cane, rape seed, corn, etc., as well as potentially ‘second-generation’ biofuels produced from lignocellulosic biomass. The first category dominates in the shorter term. The penetration of second-generation biofuels depends on the speed of technological development and the market penetration of gasification technology for synfuels and hydrolysis technology for the production of ethanol from woody biomass. Demand projections for primary biomass in Chapter 5 are largely based on WEO-IEA (2006) global projections, with a relatively wide range of about 14 to 40 EJ of primary biomass, or 8–25 EJ of fuel. However, there are also higher estimates ranging from 45


Domac, 2006).

In addition, the use of degraded lands for biomass production (as in reforestation schemes: 8–110 EJ) could contribute significantly. Although biomass production with such low yields generally results in more expensive biomass supplies, competition with food production is almost absent and various co-benefits, such as the regeneration of soils (and carbon storage), improved water retention, and protection from erosion may also offset some of the establishment costs. An important example of such biomass production schemes at the moment is the establishment of jatropha crops (oil seeds, also spelled jathropa) on marginal lands.

Biomass residues and wastes. Table 11.2 also depicts the energy potentials in residues from forestry (12–74 EJ/yr) and agriculture (15–70 EJ/yr) as well as waste (13 EJ/yr). Those biomass resource categories are largely available before 2030,impact on overall cost. Chief among these have been the impact of the Bonn-Marrakesh agreements concerning sink budgets, the non-participation of the United States, and banking and the use of ‘hot air’ (Manne and Richels, 2001; Böhringer, 2002; den Elzen and de Moor, 2002; Löschel and Zhang, 2002; Böhringer and Löschel, 2003; McKibbin and Wilcoxen, 2004; Klepper and Peterson, 2005).

U.S. non-participation in the Kyoto Protocol, coupled with the increase in sink budgets in Bonn and Marrakech, implies that the target for Annex B countries as a whole will likely be met with virtually no effort. In other words, excess allowances in Russian and Ukraine (referred to as ‘hot air’) roughly equal the shortfall in Europe, Japan, Canada, and other countries. However, some of these same studies emphasize that


are often indirect and secondary, although they can also accumulate to make local or regional mitigation action either ineffective or the source of global transformation. Much of the literature recognizes the existence of spillover effects. However, uncertainty and disagreement about time scale, cost, technology development, modelling approaches, policy and investment pathways lead to uncertainty about their extent and therefore the overall mitigation potentials.

The same spillover effect will be seen differently depending on the point of view adopted. Multiple differences between regions and nations imply differing, and perhaps contradictory views, about mitigation policies and their implementation. These differences emanate from the diverse and sometimes distinct natural endowments and social structures of those regions, as well as differences in the financial ability to cope with the costs that may beprovides statistics on primary energy supply for electricity and heat combined, the implicit supplies required for heat were estimated and removed as follows. The primary energy consumption for electricity supply only was calculated on the basis of the efficiencies of combined heat and power, and a correction for the share of heat in total final energy consumption. The share of heat was calculated from the IEA Balances for the year 2002 and assumed to be constant over time. See also Section 4.4.3 for the efficiencies and the baseline in the year 2030.

Finally, using the data on primary fuel required, the GHG emissions were estimated on the basis of the primary fuel supply for power production using the emission factors for primary fuels (IEA, 2005) and the 1996 GWP

FACTS

2
On July 12, 1984, one man wearing a ski mask and armed with a long-barrelled pistol wrapped in tape robbed a branch of the Lincoln Savings & Loan.  The robber was described as a white male, 5'8"', 170-75 lbs., and brown hair.  On July 19, 1984, one man wearing a ski mask and carrying a long-barrelled pistol robbed a branch of the First Interstate Bank of Oregon.  The robber was described as a white male, 5'6"' to 5'7"', 150-160 lbs., and light brown hair.  He was observed fleeing the scene in a late 1970's Firebird/Camaro, Oregon license KUQ 319.  Thatwas registered in room 65 and had listed the Firebird as his car.

5
Shortly after getting this information, the police saw one of the men leave room 65 and walk away.  FBI agents stopped him one block from the motel.  He identified himself as Paul Caruso.  The agents arrested him, and after being advised of and waiving his rights, Caruso told the agents that he and Merriweather had just robbed the United States National Bank, and that Merriweather's share of the money was in room 65.

6
Later that same day, the FBI arrested Merriweather outside room 65.  When they arrested him, they checked his room to see if anyone else were present, and secured the room until a warrant could be obtained.  During the room


check, one agent opened the toilet tank and observed a large sum of money inside it.

7
FBI agent Cline applied for a search warrant for room 65, supporting his application with an affidavit in which he informed the magistrate of the money in the tank, but explicitly requested that the magistrate not consider this information in deciding if probable cause existed.  The magistrate issued warrants to search the motel room, the Firebird, and a gym bag in plain view at Merriweather's arrest.

8
The search warrants were executed by FBI agents with no knowledge of the existence or location of the money, as proposed by agent Cline in his affidavit.  The agents discovered the money in the tank, some of which was identified by serial number as coming fromthe bank robbed on the 31st, a .44 caliber handgun hidden in the room, and a .12 gauge shotgun hidden in the Firebird.

9
Merriweather, who had previously been convicted of bank robbery, was indicted along with Caruso on three counts of bank robbery and four counts of unlawfully (as a convicted felon) possessing firearms.  He unsuccessfully moved to suppress Caruso's statements to the police and the evidence found in the searches of the motel room and the Firebird.  He was then convicted of two counts of bank robbery (the July 19th and July 31st robberies) and four counts of possession of a firearm (July 12, 19, and 31st--handgun;  July 31st--shotgun).  Merriweather subsequently and unsuccessfully made motions for a judgment of acquittal and for a new


there was insufficient evidence under this standard to support his convictions.  As to the bank robbery counts, his contentions are meritless.  He was not convicted of the July 12 robbery.  As to the July 19 robbery, the physical description of the robber, the gun, and the getaway car all linked Merriweather to the robbery.  As to the July 31 robbery, the physical description of the two robbers and their clothing, the gun, and the money, linked Merriweather to the robbery.  The jury acted reasonably in finding Merriweather guilty.

19
As to the firearm possession counts, Merriweather contends that the inconsistency of his acquittal on the July 12 bank robbery charge and conviction on the July 12 firearm charge justified a judgment of acquittal on the6 Moments That Shaped The Berlin Olympics

The 1936 Berlin Olympics is often referred to as the Nazi Olympics, and naturally was subject to many controversies. In addition to all this, the Berlin Olympics was the site of many firsts. These were the first Olympic games broadcast on television, and sports like basketball and field handball were events for the first time. To commemorate its 80th anniversary, here are six moments that shaped the Berlin Olympics.

From Olympia to Berlin: the first torch relay

The opening ceremony took place in the Berlin Olympic Stadium as a hysteric crowd cheered for Hitler, a spectacle that gave foreigners some of the first glimpses into the dictator’s appalling cult of personality. Naturally, the Führer wanted the highly broadcasted event to wow the whole world,


so the Nazis introduced the torch relay to the events for the first time. Athletes ran all the way from Olympia in Greece to the Berlin Olympic Stadium, passing the flame from one athlete to another. The relay concluded with the final runner lighting the eternal flame at the Olympic Stadium.

Marjorie Gestring the became youngest female gold medalist

At just 13 (and 268 days), California native Marjorie Gestring won the Olympic gold medal for three-meter springboard diving. She was the youngest person to ever win a gold medal, and to this day she is still the second youngest person to do so. Gestring beat her rival, Katherine Rawls, for the gold with her final dive. Rawls, a fellow American, was 29 at the time. Gestring received an honorary goldmedal in 1940 from the Olympic Committee after the events were canceled due to World War II, and she was later inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

A series of dramatic races

The Berlin Olympics was filled with plenty of drama within the realm of track and field. For one, John Woodruff, an African American 21-year-old underdog, won a gold medal in the 800-meter race after slowing to a jog to keep from getting boxed in by his competitors. At one point he even stopped for a moment. The clever move that came from his ability to remain calm under pressure put him briefly in last place, but ultimately gave him the space he needed to catch up and take the lead in the final moments of the


race.

Another amazing story from the races revolves around Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Robinson Schwartz. Back in 1928, she was the first woman to win a gold medal for track and field. In 1936, Schwartz was part of the American women’s relay team, which beat Germany, the race’s favored team, after a contender dropped the baton on the first pass. What makes her winning appearance at the 1936 Olympics so special is the tumult she overcame to be there in the first place. Only a few years prior, she was in a car accident that left her in a coma for seven months. It took her years of recovery time before she was even able to walk again.

Jesse Owens leaves Nazi dogma in the dust

These weren’t the only athletes of notorietyto run track and field that year. African American sprinter and long jumper, Jesse Owens, stole the show after winning four Olympic gold medals. The present day Berlin even has a school and a street named after him. His incredible performance in the 1936 Olympic games put Hitler’s theory about Aryan racial supremacy to shame. Another interesting tidbit of info surrounding the story of Jesse Owens is that fellow German competitor, Luz Long offered Owens encouragement after he almost failed to qualify to compete in the games, something that later earned him the Pierre de Coubertin medal for sportsmanship.

Hitler throwing tantrums

History dictates, rather unsurprisingly, that Hitler did not have the best temperament at the Berlin Olympics. This was particularly unfortunate for the Third Reich considering that Goebbels insisted


to one of Hitler’s outbursts. He insisted that there be a private rematch between Austria and Peru. Upon hearing this, Peru left the games in protest. Colombia followed suit. Several Jewish athletes from countries like France, Canada, the UK, and Austria also opted out of competing in the games. Most notably, Harvard track star, Milton Green did not participate as a political gesture in opposition to Nazism.Exclusive Trailer: Xena Warrior Princess XXX

Volvo will become the first automaker to export China-built vehicles to the U.S. with its S60 Inscription sedan, which should arrive in showrooms soon. Other vehicles are likely to follow as global automakers look to soak up some of their fast-expanding Chinese manufacturing capacity to fill relatively low-volume entries in other markets.

But for GM, importing the Envision from China is complicated.

For one, the company is in the middle of contract negotiations with the UAW, whose leaders likely would blanch at the prospect of Chinese imports. A UAW spokeswoman declined to comment.

Meanwhile, Buick is busy trying to quench booming demand for crossovers in China, where the brand sells four times its U.S. volume. The Envision went on sale there last fall.

The Magnificent Three

The Magnificent Three was a movie created by Harold Zoid in 3001. It starred Zoid as the President of Earth, Calculon as his son and Vice President. Bender and Dr. Zoidberg played minor parts. Through an elaborate rigging of the award ceremony, the film earned Zoid an Academy Award for Best Actor.

The plot of the movie is that the son, Calculon, of the president does not want to follow in his father's footsteps, Harold Zoid, and become the president of earth. The movie ends with Calculon handing in his resignation as vice-president to his father on top of the white house. His father refusеs to accept it and turns around, falling off a ledge. Calculon then becomes the president, much to his dislike.oil corporate interests and the role played by Saudi Arabia in it''.

The two claim the U.S. government's main objective in Afghanistan was to consolidate the position of the Taliban regime to obtain access to the oil and gas reserves in Central Asia.

They affirm that until August, the U.S. government saw the Taliban regime ''as a source of stability in Central Asia that would enable the construction of an oil pipeline across Central Asia'', from the rich oilfields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, through Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean.

Until now, says the book, ''the oil and gas reserves of Central Asia have been controlled by Russia. The Bush government wanted to change all that''.

But, confronted with Taliban's refusal to accept U.S. conditions, ''this rationale of energy security


changed into a military one'', the authors claim.

''At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives told the Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs','' Brisard said in an interview in Paris.

According to the book, the government of Bush began to negotiate with the Taliban immediately after coming into power in February. U.S. and Taliban diplomatic representatives met several times in Washington, Berlin and Islamabad.

To polish their image in the United States, the Taliban even employed a U.S. expert on public relations, Laila Helms. The authors claim that Helms is also an expert in the works of U.S. secret services, for her uncle, Richard Helms, is a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Thelast meeting between U.S. and Taliban representatives took place in August, five weeks before the attacks on New York and Washington, the analysts maintain.

On that occasion, Christina Rocca, in charge of Central Asian affairs for the U.S. government, met the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan in Islamabad.

Brisard and Dasquie have long experience in intelligence analysis. Brisard was until the late 1990s director of economic analysis and strategy for Vivendi, a French company. He also worked for French secret services, and wrote for them in 1997 a report on the now famous Al Qaeda network, headed by bin Laden.

Dasquie is an investigative journalist and publisher of Intelligence Online, a respected newsletter on diplomacy, economic analysis and strategy, available through the Internet.

Brisard and Dasquie draw a portrait of closest aides to


President Bush, linking them to oil business.

Bush's family has a strong oil background. So are some of his top aides. From the U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, through the director of the National Security Council Condoleeza Rice, to the Ministers of Commerce and Energy, Donald Evans and Stanley Abraham, all have for long worked for U.S. oil companies.

Cheney was until the end of last year president of Halliburton, a company that provides services for oil industry; Rice was between 1991 and 2000 manager for Chevron; Evans and Abraham worked for Tom Brown, another oil giant.

Besides the secret negotiations held between Washington and Kabul and the importance of the oil industry, the book takes issue with the role played by Saudi Arabia in fostering Islamic fundamentalism, in the personalityof bin Laden, and with the networks that the Saudi dissident built to finance his activities.

Brisard and Dasquie contend the U.S. government's claim that it had been prosecuting bin Laden since 1998. ''Actually,'' Dasquie says, ''the first state to officially prosecute bin Laden was Libya, on the charges of terrorism.''

''Bin Laden wanted settle in Libya in the early 1990s, but was hindered by the government of Muammar Qaddafi,'' Dasquie claims. ''Enraged by Libya's refusal, bin Laden organised attacks inside Libya, including assassination attempts against Qaddafi.''

Dasquie singles out one group, the Islamic Fighting Group (IFG), reputedly the most powerful Libyan dissident organisation, based in London, and directly linked with bin Laden.

''Qaddafi even demanded Western police institutions, such as Interpol, to pursue the IFG and bin Laden, but never obtained


co- operation,'' Dasquie says. ''Until today, members of IFG openly live in London.''

The book confirms earlier reports that the U.S. government worked closely with the United Nations during the negotiations with the Taliban.

''Several meetings took place this year, under the arbitration of Francesc Vendrell, personal representative of UN secretary general Kofi Annan, to discuss the situation in Afghanistan,'' says the book.

''Representatives of the U.S. government and Russia, and the six countries that border with Afghanistan were present at these meetings,'' it says. ''Sometimes, representatives of the Taliban also sat around the table.''

These meetings, also called ''6+2'' because of the number of states (six neighbours plus U.S. and Russia) involved, have been confirmed by Naif Naik, former Pakistani Minister for Foreign Affairs.
