V-2nd, Chap 7, In Which Machiavelli Makes an Appearance

[Mark Kohut]

lion and the fox: p 160-162ff

Machiavelli: The Prince: Chapter XVIII - 8:44am
The Prince. by Nicolo Machiavelli ... Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to 
discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves. ...


The Gaucho, in the wideawake hat---see all the wideawake hats in Against the 
Day..
what meanings?..

is the lion in Machiavelli, alluded to here, the man with charisma? therefore 
dissed in the sublime  anti-charisma rant in GR??.......

The Gaucho ridicules the stupid plan to steal the Birth of Venus pic. 
He introduces the concept of a "small bomb".........Anyone who tries to 
interfere will be disposed of by force"..............
