“Ngo Diem was heard to say, “I want a repressive machine controlling the whole of the country of South Vietnam from Saigon to the remotest villages. You shall apply massacres, torture, deportations, and mass imprisonment while conducting constant raids.

“No need to be afraid. I’m just a Holon.”

“How can you be a who if you’re not a what?”
“What?”
