Book 1: Intervention
- Ch 58Operant delegates at Alma-Ata incinerated the General Secretary's assassin through psychoenergetic projection, an act that alarmed the world more than the murder itself.
- Ch 58A UN committee of metapsychologists judged it an unconscious velleity without true volition, so no legal action was taken against the delegates.
- Ch 58The killer's identity was never discovered; the assassination used a chemical explosive, though he was operant and used quasi-hypnotic stunning on those nearby.
