The article was in French, and then translated to English. So, some grace must be given.

I understand that errors of translation occur. However, "viva la mort" seems neither fish nor fowl; "Long Live Death!" would be vive la Mort in French, and viva el Muerto in Spanish. The quote as given makes me suspect that M. Gluckmann was unaware both of the history and use of the idiom Viva el Muerto! as the motto of the Spanish Foreign Legion and of Sr. Astray's role as the founder of that organization.
