A good point, but we are probably quibbling over
details. Santayana used like words but not the
direct quotation, I believe. Santayana's version
was quoted by Pratt and de Camp in their Prewar
Science Fantasy and is cited in de Camp and Ley's
Postwar LANDS BEYOND. But the precise wording
seems that of Douglas MacArthur. Or am I reading something improperly?
