Old story which seems apropos, here: A fierce and warlike stone-age jungle island tribe, discovered and introduced into the 20th Century only a few years ago by anthropologists, has recently revealed a previously undiscovered mountain of nearly solid gold which they've been keeping secret since time immemorial. Through unscrupulous international arms brokers, this savage tribe has already traded large portions of their mountain for secondhand nuclear submarines, guided multi-megaton missiles, and dozens of tankers filled with canisters of biological gas weapons. And they have just declared war on the major powers of planet Earth. Even as I type these words, every able-bodied warrior old enough to wear a loin cloth is working night and day, hammering these formidable weapons into hundreds of razor-sharp steel spearheads. S:B^o
