Rundu Magical Quote by Russell Kirk
““Patriotic listeners to Radio Awala are further directed to discount all superstitious whispers that M'Rundu's magical powers caused units of the People's Army to disperse in panic, east of Fort Swaha. The truth of the matter is this: M'Rundu is hundreds of miles distant, at Haggat, and any claim that he can appear in two places simultaneously are grossly contrary to scientific teaching. Several sorcerers much more adept than M'Rundu belong to the Progressive party, and are pitting all their talents, for the sake of the people's democracy, against M'Rundu's obscene magic.””
