Excerpt from Circuits of Victory You remember the Magic Mirror, presented by Merlin to his king. It was a wonderful mirror. You gazed into its polished depths and 10! You saw, at a glance, all plots, treasons and invasions going on about you. You looked straight into the minds of all your subjects, penetrated their every thought, divined their every instinct. Past and present could be called up at will. Nothing was hidden. Joy and anguish, tumult and tedium, clash of clan and quiet of Cloister - the mighty surge of all mankind moved in majestic array before your very eyes. What a blessing to the modern historian! What a short cut to history! What an eye opener! Nothing short Of a magic mirror can tell us what has really happened during the past six years. We are like Children who have witnessed a gigantic upheaval of nature. Our senses react, but fail to register.
