Benjamin A. Valentino finds that ethnic hatreds or discrimination, undemocratic systems of government, and dysfunctions in society play a much smaller role in mass killing and genocide than is commonly assumed. He shows that the impetus for mass killing usually originates from a relatively small group of powerful leaders and is often carried out without the active support of broader society. Mass killing, in his view, is a brutal political or military strategy designed to accomplish leaders’ most important objectives, counter threats to their power, and solve their most difficult problems.

In 1923 silent film icon Rudolph Valentino found himself unexpectedly unable to work. His ’one man strike’ against his studio demanding better films resulted in court battles which legally prohibited the Latin Lover from acting in any capacity. Valentino was sorely in need of an income. At the same time his interest in the Occult and Spiritualism was growing. He and his new wife, Natacha Rambova, sought the guidance of mediums, spirit guides and automatic writing. Rambova would later claim her husband was quite adept at receiving messages from the other side via automatic wr

The "vehicles" described in this light-hearted yet wonderfully skillful exercise in fictional science are the inventions of one of the world’s eminent brain researchers. There are 14 of them in all—a series of hypothetical, self-operating mobile machines that exhibit increasingly sophisticated behavior similar to that in the real biological or neuroscientific world. One might assemble Braitenberg’s vehicles like cunning table-top toys that might look like the fantastic Albrecht drawings which illustrate them in the. Whatever their guise, they behave like living creatures, rang
