necessary to a work of love and reconciliation ....

The Dalai Lama then equated the struggle of the Jews with the Tibetan Peoples’ struggle to regain freedom from their Chinese oppres ....

you've found, instead of nailing it up over the door, but I hadn't

killed a spider."(Twain 5).

The Crucible 8
