[Buddha-l] nytimes review of pbs The Buddha

[Steve Hopkins]

Which brings to mind something from the incomparable Robert Stone's  
fascinating memoir, 'Prime Green'.  Writing of his time at the New  
York Daily News, Stone recalls 'pinned to a billboard at the chief  
copy editor's head (a) yellowing proof of an ancient headline that  
bespoke a wholesale dismissal of copy editors long ago. PENIS  
MIGHTIER THAN SWORD, it read.'  A warning to us all, I'm sure.

Regards,

Steve Hopkins

know the riches of its twin Christian and Buddhist perspectives.  
'We're in a bit of a bind in terms of the idea of God. In a way we  
want one, and in a way we're damn glad there isn't one. And probably  
damn lucky.'  R. Stone, 1977.]
