"Daybreak comes and -- with it -- orders from the Emperor [Nero] to bring the Christians to the arena. Centurion Careb, highest in rank, would obey. Dodinius, haunted by the memories of people he has previously led to execution, objects and is mortally wounded. Marius, though no sudden convert, rebels and elects to face death with the other victims rather than live on in the evils of Rome's 'established order.' ... Deborra and the dying Dodinius convince Marius that he must try to live and fight on -- taking with him the valuable Epistle from Paul. Thus the Scroll of the New Testament emeres triumphant over the Sword of Roman Despotism." p. 3

General description of the collection: The George R. Atkins papers include a completed Vietnam War Veterans Survey questionnaire. In his questionnaire, Atkins describes his Reconnaissance and Search & Destroy missions as "a study in futility." During his tour in Vietnam, he believes that he met only one officer who "had a brain and used it." The other officers had a tendency to walk soldiers into ambushes and booby traps. Atkins believes that the personnel rotation system inhibited the U.S. ability to win the Vietnam War as it encouraged soldiers to serve their year with minimum risk. He admits that he seriously considered deserting to Sweden when he received orders to Vietnam, and joined the anti-war protests upon his return to the U.S. Atkins also describes his arrival in Vietnam, the "ill-suited" M-16 rifle, the long-term effects of the war on his health, and his disappointment in the U.S.'s continuing intervention in other countries.
