...your report of my lecture at Yale University [Feb. 29], you alleged that I oppose the morality of altruism because it "leads to self-immolation, tolerance of the 'incompetent' common man, the welfare state, and ultimately to the slave labor camp." Nowhere in the text of my lecture will you find a phrase such as "tolerance of the 'incompetent' common man," or its equivalent, either in the context where you inserted it or in any other context.

When Baptist Pike hit on the idea of his "special service," he enlisted some men from his congregation to build a cross about five feet high and to buy a newborn lamb. His sermon was called "Watching Christ Die," and its text was Matthew 27:36 ("And sitting down they watched him there"). After he had finished preaching that night, the lamb was brought in and wired to the cross.
