I heard him say that and Kerry chiming in as well. I wonder whether they think Putin would take any notice if he thought the same thing could happen in Russia....?

Re: QUOTE OF THE DAY. TRIPPS ORIGINAL
Found in Barry Cunliffe's book on Pytheas the Greek.
Polybius, the Roman historian, writing about 'armchair historians'. "It would be well with history, either when men of action write it or when would-be historians regard a training in practical affairs as essential to their craft".
(He was echoing what Plato said on the same subject.)

Re: QUOTE OF THE DAY. TRIPPS ORIGINAL
Have a look at THIS for some good Benn quotes.
One of my favourites: "It is wholly wrong to blame Marx for what was done in his name, as it is to blame Jesus for what was done in his" - 1982 during a TV interview.
And this from Harold Wilson: "Tomfool issues, barmy ideas, a kind of ageing, perennial youth which immatures with age".
Mind you, Benn said (with some justification) that the big problem with Harold was that you couldn't believe anything he said.

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them. Sir Lawrence Bragg.

Re: QUOTE OF THE DAY. TRIPPS ORIGINAL
The thing that struck me when learning about the code-breakers was the number of times the initial clue was a mistake made by the sender. I suppose that was a crib.
