       Epigraph

      Ritual: A system of religious or magical ceremonies or procedures frequently with special forms of words or a special (and secret) vocabulary, and usually associated with important occasions or actions.

      Dr J. Dever,

      Dictionary of Psychology (Penguin Books)

      Between February 1965 and July 31st, 1968, the American bombing missions in Vietnam numbered 107,700. The tonnage of bombs and rockets totalled 2,581,876.

       Keisinger’s Continuous Archives

      The attitude of the gallant Six Hundred which so aroused Lord Tennyson’s admiration arose from the fact that the least disposition to ask the reason why was discouraged by tricing the would-be inquirer to the triangle and flogging him into insensibility.

      F. J. Veale,

      Advance to Barbarism (Mitre Press, 1968)
