This
back cover of Far Out in the New Age shows a detail from
Michelangelo's Last Judgment.
This cover, suitable for framing, was chosen by the author to symbolize this book as a protest against the
desecration of Western ideals by postmodern thinkers in the humanities departments of our
universities.
Nippon TV financed the restoration of the paintings in the Sistine Chapel as a
friendly gesture of respect for a great artistic achievement in a culture not their own.
The author paid $1000 by personal check to Nippon TV for the privilege of
displaying this icon of Western Civilization. |
