Waaewaacf CQNCE UPON a time, so Miguel de Cervantes relates, there was a knight called Don Quixote, who looked out upon the world and found in it evil men and evil things. In his frenzy, the good knight Quixote, and if the truth must be told he was not a very good fighter, for he was old and his bones creakedg but as I was saying, the good knight Quixote rode forth to iight against those evil men and things. To the dreamer Quixote, it did not matter that the knight Quixote must wear cardboard for armor, must ride spavined old swaybacked Rosinante, must be squired by foolish Sancho, must always be defeated in battle. His heart was pure, his ideals clean, he could never be defeated, for he had no idea what constituted defeat. And so Cervantes tells many amusing and amazing things about Quixote, and from the yellowed pages of the musty manuscript a hero emerges, who fights hypocrisy and evil wherever he finds it, who stands for the beautiful and the true, who fights, as all men must fight, for those things in which he believes.
