Obviously the art of talking and use of words like almost all other arts has taken a beating and seen its finest show displays looted. But still - it's a nice story even if no-one sings the same way. How many can mend a sonnet or saddle a horse? Ah! But has been pointed out many times, we do not need the few left who can do such things in power. The second largest Swiss bank is facing legal challenges for compensation to Malaysian farmers. The suit was served in Zurich this morning by young people oddly enough.
