Dear Andrew:

 

Just to reiterate Mani's correction: the event occurred Dec 3/74, not Feb

3, as your wrote. Thanks for being so eagle-eyed Mani. I'm not sure I

would have caught it.

dear chris,

 

you did sort of appoint me as a master of ceremonies, from which I backed out

for a period. So it is our job to check carefully. I´m more frog-eyed than

eagle-eyed. .... "Whenever the evil on earth gets out of bounds I incarnate to

restore order...." I am not the LORD, but try to be his trusted scavenger!

 

actually I´m witing on burning coals to see the result. The opinions seem to be

divided between disaster and success, me being on the success side.

 

I am still pondering over the enigma. the successful politician idea keeps

cropping up. Too young, I decided. but women are a bit different. Indira Gandhi

and Sonia Gandhi did get political success in young years, Zapata, Castro and

Guevara, or the Rani of Jhansi were not old coots either!

 

The success through marriage doesn´t please me: not even Eva Peron got power

overnight through marriage. Power through marriage is based on own merits: the

great coalition of Isabella and Ferdinand depended on her own might. On the

other hand, Elisabeth of Austria married the emperor Franz Joseph. At her first

presentation in court, a journalist asked her what she thought was the best form

of government for the people. The girl from the village answered, " Great

thinkers say a republic, and I am too young and inexperienced to contradict

them!" This put the Austrian court against her forever! She fought like hell

for the rights of Hungarian citizens, played a big part in the policies of the

empire, but was never recognized as a great person. It took her years to be able

to influence her husband in political matters....

Mani
