LindyBill, I thought of you tonight when I saw a maddening example of bias on broadcast news. Right after Bush delivered his speech tonight NBC had a few minutes of analysis time. Mrs. Alan Greenspan came on and --- drum roll please --- r u ready --- sit down and pour a drink --- she reported on North Korea starting it's nuclear plant today and how that is so much more dangerous to the world than Iraq. Not one word about the speech, not even a recap. The NK story is a big story but ... Then I switched channels to CBC Newsworld to hear the anchor ask a guest "Does this guy think he can shape the world any way he wants?" - 'this guy', eh? Paul

<What rough Beast slouches toward Baghdad,> Gee, it's tough to be original! It's as bad as trying to come up with original cyberspace domain names. I have heard of Yeats [from some vicious high school teacher 4 decades ago]. Yeats is what you use to make bread rise [I didn't take biology some am not sure about that]...heh, heh! I'm aliterate, so had never heard of the rough beast and Baghdad, but I asked Google and bingo, heaps of references, so you must be right. I was thinking of "In the belly of the beast" and Eisenhower and the military industrial complex and Ted Kaczynski and stuff like that. Oh, here's W B Yeats. poets.org Hmmm, even has a similar appearance to me [in younger days]. I wonder if language preferences are genetic. Died in 1939. I guess he won't be knocking at my door. Google Akbar, Mqurice
