I do not think it idle to speculate that the recent "Death-of-God" theology may have forced modern man to look elsewhere, especially to the heavens, for a new God. That we should externalize a quality so deeply rooted in man's nature is not at all surprising and one need not accept Marshall McLuhan's ingenious speculations to see that quite logically man uses his interior world with its enormous powers to try and locate what he has often believ...

Partly it is the suddenness, and partly that there are unlikely to be any remains for a dignified leave-taking. That Jay Rayner has written a whole book about the fate of an airliner tha...
