Conrad Bollinger Speaks

An eagerly anticipated speaker was Conrad Bollinger (whose mere name was evidently a sure promise of provocative and clever things). His subject, "Christ against the Christians," allowed a great field of subject matter (ranging from "neurotic Paul" to "that neurotic Paul" again.

Hearing Mr Bollinger for the first time was rather disillusioning: his speech, though clever to the ear, contained a remarkable lack of concreteness. The unqualified defamatory slants he made found no counter-balance.
