ABSTRACT
T HERE are very few people who do not now and then tell a deliberate lie. What might be called a full, deliberate lie is not merely the careless use of words, but a statement known to be objectively untrue. 'It was Peter who stole the buns!' says Jim, who stole them himsel£ 'I have not seen Anne for six weeks!' says Philip, who has been meeting her regularly behind the bam. 'This is my last territorial claim in Europe!' said Hider, shortly before making a further claim.
