Unquote and so on. But doesn’t it strike you, doesn’t it strike one per<br />

cent of the possible auditors under 20 or over 20, under 30 or over 30<br />

that it would be useful for more of you to take a look at the full text of<br />

the quite interesting little brochure from which I am quoting and quote:<br />

“all these peoples were stage managed by us, according to program.”<br />

Well, now can it happen to you? Does this curious and fantastic brochure<br />
