: its iDat~ eRect is to 'relieve stress, Whe'n you are angry, frightened, up against a. situation

you feel threatened by, your body releases adrenalin, This is Nature's preparation for fight or

. ·fligbt. Jf you can do either; if the situation plainly calls for one or the other, little stress. is involved.But If you are frustrated; if either fighting or running awaywould be irrational, you freeze in confusion and helplessness, You spin your wheels and the adrenalin flows into your system, 'wasting i.tself in. stress" You do nothing, as. distorted impressions of reality flood in, making you feel only more helpless and insecure or angry,

Coincidentally, as. I was, taking. a break from, writing this passage, 1 was rereading George Orwell's "1984 ¥} ~ The 'part I happened to be reading 'was from page 101. 'KIt was at night they came f Of you; alw-ays at night. The' proper thing was to kill yourself before they got you. Un ... doubted l.y some people did so. Many of the disappearances were actually suicides. But it needed desperate courage to kill yourse:1f in. a world where firearms, or any quick and certain poison, were completely unprocurable .. He thought with a kind of astonishment of the biological uselessness of pain and fear, the treachery ofthe human bod.y Which always freezes into inertia at exactly the mo ment when a special effort is needed, 'He might have silenced the dark -haired girl ,if only he bad acted quickly enough; but. precisely because of the extremity of bis danger he had lost the power to act. . .It struck him that in moments of crisis one is never fighting against an, external enemy but always against one's own body, Evennow, in spite of the gin, the dull ache in his, belly made consecutivethought jmpossible .. And it is the same, he perceived, in all seemin.gly heroic or tragic' situations, On the battlefleld, in the torture chamber, on a sinking ship, the issues that you are fighting for arealwaysforgotten.because the body swells 'up until it fiUs the universe, and even when you are not 'paralyzed by fright or screaming witb pain, life is a. moment-to-moment struggle against hunger or cold or sleeplessness, against a sour stomach or achi ng tooth. f'I

The fourteenth .. cen tury armor in the m useum is much plainer than 'the suit just described, It has the ~,. !'oun,d" cuirass, the whole effect of which is reel, owing to the profusion of red silk braid used for binding the plates to ...

gether, The oldjapanese braid was not ,] ike most of ours, half cotton or linen: it was pu,re silk, of the toughest and most enduring character, plaited in a, 'way which secured the highest deg-ree of resistance, The J apanese much preferred it, for-most uses, to thongs of Ieather,

The daimio who 'wore the original of this armor had ,a, fancy for a crescent between the t'\VO ,gr,eat water-leaves of his helmet, and a weakness for

- · d ' -

hIS chosen uevice or ancestral

crest, which is on every' part of the suit where a device could possibly be p,laced- on cuirass, hand ~ guards, thigh-guards, and, above all, on his helmet, where it appears on tile little upright

The small silken :flag or banner on which the ancestral blazon or the device chosen by tile warrior himself was painted, embroidered,

This strikes one as an economical and clever arrangement : it saved the banner- bearer's daily wage of rice, and one's colors were always on the- spot at the critical moment, The dairnio of those stirring days was entirely independent in th is. res peer: his banner-staff was sl ipped through a hinged eye at the top of his cuirassback. : inted d fittinz I k t

THE WEAPONEE'R

The Deadly Fighting Bolas

I'm sure youtve heard of the Nunehaku, 'the oriental rice flail 'consisting of two foot-and ... a-half lengths of brooms,tick. connected by about six inches of chain. Tbis is drama,ti'e to watch but illegal. to carry and hardly eon .. cea'lable~

The best N'Wlchaku man would not stand a chance against an ind1fferent. user of' the bolas. And the bolas is easily concealed .. Of course, if you just carry them in your pocket, they'Il be all 'tangled and this won't do at all if Y'OD 're attacked, So I naturally invented a carrier for the bolas to make them instan't1y aecessable, without

slightly smaller would. do as the welghts are one inch across, Even BOt. you don't want t-oo snug a fit. so that size is fine, whereas a larger tube could allow tangling ..

Anyway;, t' cut. the tube four inches 'long" Then I cut out a circle of cardboard for the bottom, After fitting the cardboard inside the bottom of' the tube I put lengths of electrical 'tape across it, then put a strip around the bottom. to make it look unifonn,.

Then. I sawed two ,3/4 b,Y 3/4 inch slots in 'the top and broke them off~ This enables one te grasp the sunken 'weight with the thumb ,and fo·refinger and pull. the bolas

To hold the tube, you should sew a pocket to the inside of the, front of your pants about three inches to the left of ·the zipper and about one inch below the, waistband. (Left-hand,ers 'put the' pocket three inches to the right of the zip'per) i

To, make the pocket, simply cut a 4'~ by 4% inch square of 'heavy cloth. Sew' it with the same color thread as your pants" It's such a small Job you don't even need a

If you don't expect to be actually throwing the bolas, pack the weights so the knot projects to where a. weight would nonnany be. A. quick and effortless, tug, on the knot will have the clonkers ready to swing in a second,

'To get your' own nicotine. I recommend buyl,ng a can of Copenhagen or Skoal tobacco, sol,d in; most .grocery stor'es., Saturat.e the ,obacco with water, put on it.8 lid and 'at in

An e.xceilent use for the· IH:and Fang i,s t[he inj!action of ricin. T··he Russian 'who· st·abbed the Belgian w·ith the urnbreUa ti.p loaded with a. tiny hollow metal ball fUled with ri,cin was a ,C'JIU,~ sy jerk. He ·wa·s recognized and the weapon was known t Had he used, 'tn,.

Rlcine is best -used in situation,s 'whe,re you want to be wen .away' before your oppo,nent shows any signs of wear. Thi:s 'wou:ld involve a person you know and who may know you ..

Greek could be a barba,ri.an.. This, m.ean.t that, 81 8.0y .Athenian. could clearly recognize, Spa.rta.ns wer'e harbarianl,,. even though they did I.peak 'Greek.

To ·s very large extent, ·the· term ~'·bar·h,aria.n," il used teda y in precisely that way; i,t has no precise m,ean'ing, and i • .solely a term of disparagement,

flo oJ a term 0 JDI,,: 't.

I want to make a precise d.e'nni.tio'n of 'the term, one that will make it usef'ul in discussion=which no vague, varlable-referent term can be,

Let me hasten to point out that vague, variable .. referent terms can be extremel Y sati» Iy,ing in disc ussion ;, they sim pi y aren't use lut That is, if 'we have "barbarian' as a 'vague, variable .. referent te:rm meaning "someone, w'ho,se manners, customs, ,appea.r ance, language, or val ues I ,disl ike because 'they are unlike mine," tben if I say "'I don't Iike th.at man," and you ask me why, I can, with satisfying sense of conviction and completion, say U Be .. ca use he's a barbarian!"

This is ve,ry satisfy ing ; it gives. one the impression he has said something meaningful in explana t ion of his dislike. That he has made a profound, and definitive statement. It's satisfying~

It's also perfectly circular, "'I don't like him because he acts in a ",ray I di Iik "

lSI,f ..

Let's try something more deFInitive,

and acultur al=-use actual, observable behav iOT characteristics, as describing the ba.rbaria,n. Animal species can he defined in terms of behavior characteristics" as well as in terms of physi .. ology ; so can human types, Some ani .. mals are carnivorous ; some, although perfectly capable of digesting meal, never eat it, These behavioral chasacteristies are perfectly defin.able and obser v ab le.

The citi·zen was, but one step abo'va th'. trliba.list. Hie could go ai,ong With t[he tr'a,diUon,s'J rituals and taboos and s·ublimate' nis own will to tn,at of the gro,up. But he was superior in that he 'was adaptabl,e .. ,He could accept new ways~ ne'w ide·as!, and buitd on mem.

The tri'baiist: was not adaptab:le. What he had been taught at his mothers ~nee~, by his prisste and ,chiefs,. 'was written in the stone of his. cal,cified brain. H,e cou~d not change.

Th,s baroanan abol i·s'h ed those' aspects of the system wh:ic.h had restricted ~'m and kep,t him from flt1ing in. This also freed the citizen to develop and express :his own positive traits and ctvilizst.ion was born.

So the barbarians, world-wid,e and, tnrouqnout hi·st.ory. broke the restrelnts Imposed 'by ths weaker and closed-minded tribausts.

of that are very complex, very interesting, and pure dynamite culturally.

Olnly when prlmit.ive ferrns of agriculture' and the doml9Stication of animal-s evolved could the intel,ligent savage gradduate to trilbalislm~

In the, last edltoriati' John Campbell 'was wrong in labeJiling the North ,American Indian' as barbarjan.~ F'ir&t, the.re 'were dozens 01' ,groupi,ngs and aut>groupings .. Many of them had agr'icu!tture and do,mc8sticated animal's and' had 1Jherefore advanced, to tribaUsm,., Many others,. however. were only Ihunt:ers and food gatherers and so were savagels ..

Species [evolution also play's a tar,gs part in the diffe·reinces· between the Indian,. and thair' European iilnvad.rs~ During the last tce Age~, about 115,,000 years 8go" wat81r levels ware low'er, due to th.e accumula,Uon 0" ice cove~lng the ptanefs land surface" P1rimitive Asiatics crossed the, then dry Bering S,trait and mov:8d into the American colnltinent~

Thus cut off' from the· inter'action be'tween d~ver'se cUlltures i·,n Asia and Europe, they' rem,ainad at a Sto·ne .Age 1'8vel· of dBve~opm.nt.
