On the day that I left Saturn, one of my fellow prisoners told me that since she had known me; her opinion of “Greens” had fallen even lower than it had been before. This hit me especially hard because she was a woman whom I deeply respected and also because I had secretly imagined myself to be living life as a “Green” witness among the rebels. She said that when I decided not to speak about my prison experiences because of the risks involved, she was hardly able to speak to me. She condemned me for professing to be a “Green” without having the courage to act like one.

It was then that I conceived that I owed it to the members of the camp to speak for them and against Saturnian’s dictatorship. It became clear to me that, whatever the diplomatic or personal repercussions, I had to speak the truth quite openly to those who were prepared to listen. These words, then are written as the final stage of the fulfillment of a pledge* made to the women of Alamet prison on Saturn. These women are now free or living in exile, but other Saturnians have taken their place. I will write a story of what happened to me in a spirit of love and hope, for my experience has convinced me of the incredible and unconquerable goodness in people.

When the world was still young, according to the Bible, the Tower of Babel rose above the Plain of Shinar, and in it lived the descendents of Noah, all that were left of the world’s people after the Flood. The Lord came to them, caused a confusion of tongues, and spread them over the earth. They could then no longer understand each other.

The world is no longer young, but its people, still plagued by a confusion of tongues, seem to have just as much difficulty understanding each other. Besides that, the world has grown smaller. A person can now circle the planet earth in 36 hours. Telstar and other communication satellites beam television programs simultaneously to earth’s not-so-far corners. But, how universal is reception of those programs whenthe people of the earth speak some 3,000 different languages?

Many linguists, anthropologists, and other experts feel that the answer to such lack of communication is some kind of international language. It might be an artificial language a natural language, or a simplified version of a natural language. But the time is now.

I want to say a few things about the development of the contemporary theatre: the type of drama associated with the names writers in France, Britain, Italy and elsewhere.

Studies on theatre subjects tend to the ephemeral; in most book shops the autobiographies of star actors and collections of last year’s hits on the shelves have a tired look. I should not have written this if I had not been convinced that the subject has an importance transcending the somewhat confined world of theatrical literature. The theatre, in spite of its operant eclipse through the rise of the mass media, remains of immense and grousing significance precisely because of the spread of cinema and television. These mass media are too ponderous and costly to allow much experiment and innovation. No métier how restricted the theatre and its audience may be, it is on the living stage that the actors and playwrights* of the mass media the trained and gain their experience, and that the material of the mass media is tested. The theatre of today is perhaps the main influence on the mass media of tomorrow. And the mass media, in turn, shape a great deal of the thought and feeling of people…

I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day to satisfy their bodies, education and culture to satisfy their minds; and dignity, justice and freedom to satisfy their spirits… I still believe that some day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and that non-violent goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land. The lion and the lamb shall then lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree, and done shall be afraid. I still believe that we shall overcome.

VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY. Russian poet and playwright, later canonized poet laureate of the Revolution by Stalin, he was literary star of the post-Revolution period of the 1920s. (He and rival Sergei Esenin contended for the role of spokesman* for the proletariat and the new order). Although never a member of the Communist Party, Mayakovsky became the troubadour of the Revolution and Bolshevism, and he was a superb propagandist, creating thousands of poems, advertisements, posters, and slogans to sell Lenin and the Soviets to the masses.

Matching the age in which he lived, Mayakovsky was dramatic and demanding. His emotions-his love of women, his need for love, his need to belong, and his loneliness were, like his physical presence, larger that life.

The majority of people, about nine out of ten, are right – handed. Up until recently, people who were left – handed were considered abnormal, and once children showed this tendency they were forced to use their right hands. Today, left – handedness is generally accepted but it is still a disadvantage in a world where most people are right – handed. For example, most tools and implements (scissors, tin openers, etc) are still designed for right – handed people.

In sports, by contrast, doing things with the left hand (or foot) is often an advantage. Throwing, kicking, punching or batting from the “wrong” side may disconcert opponents, who are more accustomed to dealing with the majority of players who are right – handed. This is why, in most ball games at a professional level, a higher proportion of players are left – handed than in the population as a whole.

“Everything enjoyable in life is illegal, immoral, or fattening.” Moan those who are overweight. To help take the derivation out of dieting, the American food industry has produced several kinds of dietetic foods for people who want to take off excess weight. Why all this emphasis upon staying thin? It is partly because doctors say that extra weight decreases life expectancy.

Each contains two goal posts connected by a horizontal bar ten feet off the ground.

A major reason for conflict in the animal world is territory. The male animal establishes an area; the size of the area is sufficient to provide food for him, his mate (or mates) and their offspring. Migrating birds, for example, divide up the best, territory in the order of “first come, first served.” The late arrivals may obtain larger territories, but less food is available, or they are too close to the habitats of the enemies of the species. If there in really insufficient food or the danger is very great the animal will not mate. In this way, the members of the species which are less fit will not have offspring.

When there is conflict over territory, animals will commonly use force, or a show of force, to decide which will stay and which will go.

Many devout Christians believed that the world would come to a sudden and just 1,000 years after Christ. This prospect of the “millennium” brought relief to many a weary person. Many journeyed to Palestine to be present in their Holy Land when the end of the world came.

But the end of the world did not come, and the thousands of pilgrims who had journeyed to Jerusalem were ill-treated by the Turks. They returned to Europe full of anger and humiliation, and spread the story of their offerings in the Holy Land. One famous pilgrim especially, Peter the Hermit, went about, staff in hand, preaching to the people to rescue their Holy City Jerusalem from the Muslims. Indignation and enthusiasm grew in Christendom, and seeing this the Pope decided to lead the movement.

In 1095, a great Church council decided to proclaim a Holy way against the Muslins for the recovery of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Thus began the Crusades – the fight of Christendown against lalam, of the Cross against the Crestar.
