Quick! What’s the connection between Afghanistan and the 1978 version of Dawn of the Dead?
Still stumped? Listen to this story from The World. It seems that Mr. Reiniger is descended from the great Philadelphian, Dr. Josiah Harlan, a.k.a. Prince of Ghor, Lord of the Hazarahs, spiritual and military heir to Alexander the Great. No foolin’. There’s a great new book (I’m told it’s great, I have it on the way. here’s a review.)
The title “Prince of Ghor” was granted to Harlan and his heirs. It’s Reiniger’s if he wants it.
