RFID technology which has been traditionally used to track assets in a supply chain, can also be effectively employed to track and contain diseases.


With the Swine Flu death toll at more than 200 in India, health administrators in the country face a mammoth challenge in containing the spread of the disease. The chance of infection spreading in hospitals is greater as there is no accurate way to determine when an individual comes in contact with an infected person.

 

One effective solution that administrators can use, apart from sanitation measures, is using RFID tags for both patients and visitors in hospitals. RFID technology which has been traditionally used to track assets in a supply chain, can also be effectively employed to track and contain diseases.

 

Andrew Tay


Says Andrew Tay, APAC President, Zebra Technologies, “Hospitals can use RFID technology to track patients, and effectively contain the disease from spreading. You could even find out who has been in touch with the infected person. Using this information, you can track the source from where the disease has originated. Once the source has been identified, health administrators can move in to quarantine the patient and the location.” 

 
Simple RFID tags can be used on the wristbands of patients and their movement can be tracked across wards. Health administrators can subsequently analyze the log of all patient interactions to immediately take precautionary action, in case a patient has interacted with an infected person. Considering the number of visitors to a hospital on a daily basis, this information can help in preventing the breakout of the pandemic. 

 
In a way, it is ironic that the same technology that was earlier resisted for being intrusive has now come full circle. RFID may well become a lifesaver.

Pour voir la version sous-titrée en français en plusieurs parties: Fall Of The Republic, le nouveau film d'Alex Jones VOSTF


Prison Planet.com

 

 

Paul Joseph Watson


Alex Jones’ highly anticipated upcoming documentary Fall of the Republic: The Presidency of Barack Obama boldly lifts the lid and unveils the fraud behind Brand Obama and how the globalists are using their newest, and slickest ever puppet to destroy the last vestiges of America’s freedom, Constitution and economy, all while helping the bankers loot the country clean.


The film exposes the agenda that Obama was put in place to accomplish, a world government allied with a bank of the world run by globalist eugenicists hell-bent on destroying America’s first world status and replacing it with a hollow shell of tyranny.


The mind control, the television programming, and all the media talking points that serve to reinforce the image of Brand Obama are laid bare, unveiling the naked ruth, as legendary author and documentary film maker John Pilger recently discussed, that Obama is nothing more than a corporate marketing creation, a skilled hypnotist using seductive tools of propaganda – race, gender and class – to hoodwink the masses into accepting his rhetoric while ignoring the contradiction of his actions.


The film exposes how Brand Obama says one thing – to make people buy into the brand – and then the real Obama does another.


(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)




The burgeoning police state, warrantless wiretapping, secret arrests, indefinite detention of citizens, torture, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Pakistan, have all been expanded under Brand Obama despite his promises to reverse them all.


The real question to ask is not which class Obama claims to represent or fight for, but which class Obama serves. Fall of the Republic leaves no room for doubt that the class Obama serves is the elite and it is their agenda he is diligently following.

 

n terms of focused research and factual content, Fall of the Republic dominates even The Obama Deception for hardcore evidence and documented material. The film proves how Obama was put in power to cement the gains of tyranny and oppression achieved under Bush while the masses slept, lulled into a deep hypnosis with empty promises of change, hope and progress.


The movie picks up from where The Obama Deception left off, highlighting how Obama has continued and expanded the socialized financial takeover introduced by Bush and how the bankster gangster cronies have made off with trillions in taxpayer’s money, bankrupting the future of the country for generations to come.

The hypocrisy and underlying deceit of people like Al Gore, John P. Holdren and Obama himself are displayed in plain view as the cap and trade hoax is demolished and revealed to be nothing less than a total takeover of the American economy, its infrastructure, and a mandate to micromanage every aspect of every citizen’s private life.

Obama’s role in converting American from a free market, free Republic, to a command and control state-run oligarchy controlled by offshore banking interests is explored at length in the documentary.


In order to make this the most hard-hitting documentary we have ever released, the biggest budget ever allocated to a single movie was made available, primarily for the purpose of traveling all over the country to conduct no less than 19 separate sit down interviews for the film.


Personalities who will appear in the movie include Gerald Celente, Alan Watt, Jesse Ventura, climatologist Tim Ball, economist John Perkins, the Oath Keepers, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, Webster Tarpley, Bob Bowman, Wayne Madsen and George Humphrey.


Fall of the Republic is an unprecedented two hour romp through the highly concentrated and brazen levels of tyranny and corruption displayed by Obama and his administration in the short period since they took office.

The end of the movie is encapsulated by the idea that the fight to maintain and restore a free Republic is a constant struggle against those who harbor the virus of evil in their souls.

There's speculation Congressman Ron Paul may run for the presidency again in 2012. He's already had two failed attempts at America's highest office. Despite dismal odds, radio host Alex Jones is confident the Texas Republican will give the presidency another shot. Alex Jones spoke to RT and discussed with Dina Gussovsky the recent Colombia-US controversial agreement for set-up of US military bases, American strategy in Afghanistan and Barack Obama's policy.

  • world news From Global Warming to the New World Order


Last week it was announced that George Soros (the man who helped bring us Obama) had pledged $1.1 billion to fund “Climate Change initiatives”.


“Soros will establish the Climate Policy Initiative, an organization that will work with the US, China, India, Brazil and Europe and ensure that public interests are represented as new issues that affect climate change are established. According to Thomas Holler, who will lead the initiative, “It will be part advisory service, part policy developer and part watchdog.”

What a coincidence !!


That will tie in nicely with this: Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty, Claims British Lord (see video and red text below) – in December President Obama will fly off to Copenhagen again, this time to put his signature onto a document which effectively establishes a New World Government, based on “Climate Change” – formerly known as “global warming”.


At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed. Your president will sign it. Most of the third world countries will sign it, because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regime from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won’t sign it.


I read that treaty. And what it says is this, that a world government is going to be created. The word “government” actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity. The second purpose is the transfer of wealth from the countries of the West to third world countries, in satisfication of what is called, coyly, “climate debt” – because we’ve been burning CO2 and they haven’t. We’ve been screwing up the climate and they haven’t. And the third purpose of this new entity, this government, is enforcement.


How many of you think that the word “election” or “democracy” or “vote” or “ballot” occurs anywhere in the 200 pages of that treaty? Quite right, it doesn’t appear once.

Le Grand Soir
21 octobre 2009



Par Damien MILLET, Éric TOUSSAINT, Renaud VIVIEN

C’est dans un climat de répression que se sont achevées à Istanbul les assemblées annuelles du FMI et de la Banque mondiale. Pour la deuxième journée consécutive, les 10 000 policiers turcs mobilisés pour l’occasion n’ont pas hésité à utiliser canons à eau, gaz lacrymogène et véhicules blindés pour disperser les manifestants. Le même scénario s’était produit fin septembre lors du sommet du G20 à Pittsburgh où les manifestations contre cet « ersatz » de G8 avaient également été réprimées par les forces de police.

 


Le FMI et la Banque mondiale ont tenu ces réunions controversées quelques jours après la décision du G20 de modifier les droits de vote au sein des deux institutions : 5% des quotes-parts au FMI et 3% des droits de vote à la Banque mondiale doivent ainsi être transférés vers « les pays émergents et en développement dynamiques » d’ici janvier 2011. Leur système actuel était de plus en plus contesté, tant par les pays du Sud que pas les mouvements sociaux : il repose sur la règle « 1 dollar égale une voix », contrairement à l’Assemblée générale de l’ONU où chaque pays possède une seule voix.


 

Pour le directeur général du FMI, le socialiste français Dominique Strauss-Kahn, il s’agit là « de décisions historiques ». Mais pour le CADTM, c’est une sinistre farce. En effet, ce transfert ne change rien aux rapports de force au sein des deux institutions. A titre d’exemple, la Chine, qui en sera un des principaux bénéficiaires, détient environ 3% des droits de vote aujourd’hui, très loin derrière les Etats-Unis qui possèdent à eux seuls plus de 16%, leur garantissant de facto un droit de veto sur toutes les grandes décisions.


Le groupe emmené par le Rwanda, qui regroupe 24 pays d’Afrique noire et représente 225 millions d’individus, possède quant à lui 1,39 % des droits de vote ! Nul besoin d’être mathématicien pour comprendre que ces réformettes annoncées à grand renfort médiatique ne transformeront pas la Banque mondiale et le FMI en organisations démocratiques. D’ailleurs le seront-elles un jour vu que le système actuel ne peut être modifié sans l’accord des Etats-Unis ?


Autre fait aggravant : depuis 1944, le président de la Banque mondiale a toujours été un citoyen des Etats-Unis tandis que le directeur du FMI est toujours un ressortissant européen en vertu d’une règle tacite. Ce partage des pouvoirs combiné à cette répartition des droits de vote profondément anti-démocratique prouvent bien que le FMI et le Banque mondiale constituent des instruments aux mains des puissances occidentales pour imposer au reste du monde des politiques servant leurs intérêts propres.

 


Après avoir traversé une grave crise de légitimité, la Banque mondiale et le FMI ont retrouvé un second souffle du fait de la crise mondiale. Entre 2004 et 2008, la hausse importante du prix des matières premières a augmenté les réserves de change de certains pays en développement, qui en ont alors profité pour rembourser de manière anticipée leurs dettes envers ces créanciers, afin de se débarrasser de leur tutelle encombrante.


Mais à partir de la fin 2008, l’aggravation de la crise mondiale a radicalement modifié la situation. La liste des pays durement frappés par la crise s’est allongée et le G20 a remis FMI et Banque mondiale au cœur du jeu mondial. C’est ainsi que sous la pression du FMI, la Roumanie a dû appliquer des politiques anti-sociales comme la réduction brutale de 15 % des revenus des fonctionnaires, en contrepartie de liquidités pour surmonter la crise à court terme. Depuis 2008, une quinzaine de pays ont connu le même sort. La Banque mondiale a, quant à elle, tiré profit de la crise écologique en créant plusieurs fonds d’investissement climatiques tout en continuant à financer des projets de déforestation et d’industries extractives. Durant l’année 2008, les fonds alloués aux énergies propres ont d’ailleurs été 5 fois inférieurs à ceux destinés aux énergies non-renouvelables dont le montant a augmenté de plus de 165% [1] .


Ensuite, le G20, autoproclamé « instance de régulation mondiale », a joué un rôle décisif dans la tentative de relégitimation du FMI en triplant ses moyens financiers lors du sommet de Londres en avril dernier et en élargissant ses missions à l’issue du sommet de Pittsburgh. Le FMI est ainsi placé au cœur de la surveillance de l’économie mondiale « pour promouvoir la stabilité financière internationale et rééquilibrer la croissance ». A Istanbul, il a été convenu de « réexaminer le mandat du FMI pour qu’il englobe l’ensemble des politiques macroéconomiques et liées au secteur financier qui influent sur la stabilité de l’économie mondiale [2] ».


Il devra ainsi « faire des recommandations de politique économique aux pays qui devront prendre des mesures correctives adaptées ». Nul besoin d’être devin pour connaître à l’avance ces recommandations. Le FMI déclarait en juin 2009 sur les politiques mise en œuvre dans la zone euro, que « les mesures prises pour soutenir la réduction de la durée de travail et l’augmentation des avantages sociaux — aussi importantes qu’elles soient pour accroître les revenus et maintenir la main d’œuvre sur le marché du travail — devraient être intrinsèquement réversibles [3] ». Le rapport « Doing Business 2010 » de la Banque mondiale est encore plus explicite puisqu’il décourage les pays d’adopter des programmes de protection sociale en qualifiant les gouvernements qui le font de « non-compétitifs [4] ». Malgré ses échecs répétés, le Consensus de Washington, sorte de code du néolibéralisme, continue donc à être l’ordonnance prescrite par le FMI et la Banque mondiale aux pays qui sollicitent leur « aide ».


Pourtant, l’échec de ces politiques d’ajustements structurels imposées aux pays du Sud depuis la crise de la dette de 1982 aurait dû être rédhibitoire : la pauvreté et les inégalités se sont aggravées tandis que le problème de la dette n’est absolument pas réglé. Pis, une nouvelle crise de l’endettement est en gestation, ce qui augmentera encore la part des budgets nationaux consacrés au remboursement des créanciers. A moins que les gouvernements décident de suspendre le paiement pour satisfaire en priorité les besoins humains fondamentaux et d’entreprendre un audit des dettes pour annuler sans conditions la part illégitime, qui n’a pas profité aux populations. Ce serait là un premier coup d’arrêt aux funestes politiques du FMI et de la Banque mondiale, dont l’abolition et le remplacement par des institutions soucieuses de l’intérêt des populations doivent être des revendications fortes.

Gore Vidal- Photo:
mrjam.typepad.com

The grand old man of letters Gore Vidal claims America is ‘rotting away’ — and don’t expect Barack Obama to save it

A conversation with Gore Vidal unfolds at his pace. He answers questions imperiously, occasionally playfully, with a piercing, lethal dryness. He is 83 and in a wheelchair (a result of hypothermia suffered in the war, his left knee is made of titanium). But he can walk (“Of course I can”) and after a recent performance of Mother Courage at London’s National Theatre he stood to deliver an anti-war speech to the audience.


How was his friend Fiona Shaw in the title role? “Very good.” Where did they meet? Silence. The US? “Well, it wasn’t Russia.” What’s he writing at the moment? “It’s a little boring to talk about. Most writers seem to do little else but talk about themselves and their work, in majestic terms.” He means self-glorifying? “You’ve stumbled on the phrase,” he says, regally enough. “Continue to use it.”


Vidal is sitting in the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair, where he has been coming to stay for 60 years. He is wearing a brown suit jacket, brown jumper, tracksuit bottoms; his white hair twirled into a Tintin-esque quiff and with his hooded eyes, delicate yet craggy features and arch expression, he looks like Quentin Crisp, but accessorised with a low, lugubrious growl rather than camp lisp.

 

He points to an apartment opposite the hotel where Churchill stayed during the Second World War, as Downing Street was “getting hammered by the Nazis. The crowds would cheer him from the street, he knew great PR.”

 

In a flash, this memory reminds you of the swathe of history Vidal has experienced with great intimacy: he was friends with JFK, fought in the war, his father Gene, an Olympic decathlete and aeronautics teacher, founded TWA among other airlines and had a relationship with Amelia Earhart. (Vidal first flew and landed a plane when he was 10.) He was a screenwriter for MGM in the dying days of the studio system, toyed with being a politician, he has written 24 novels and is hailed as one of the world’s greatest essayists.


He has crossed every boundary, I say. “Crashed many barriers,” he corrects me.


Last year he famously switched allegiance from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama during the Democratic nomination process for president. Now, he reveals, he regrets his change of heart. How’s Obama doing? “Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism.”


America should leave Afghanistan, he says. “We’ve failed in every other aspect of our effort of conquering the Middle East or whatever you want to call it.” The “War on Terror” was “made up”, Vidal says. “The whole thing was PR, just like ‘weapons of mass destruction’. It has wrecked the airline business, which my father founded in the 1930s. He’d be cutting his wrists. Now when you fly you’re both scared to death and bored to death, a most disagreeable combination.”


His voice strengthens. “One thing I have hated all my life are LIARS [he says that with bristling anger] and I live in a nation of them. It was not always the case. I don’t demand honour, that can be lies too. I don’t say there was a golden age, but there was an age of general intelligence. We had a watchdog, the media.” The media is too supine? “Would that it was. They’re busy preparing us for an Iranian war.” He retains some optimism about Obama “because he doesn’t lie. We know the fool from Arizona [as he calls John McCain] is a liar. We never got the real story of how McCain crashed his plane [in 1967 near Hanoi, North Vietnam] and was held captive.”


Vidal originally became pro-Obama because he grew up in “a black city” (meaning Washington), as well as being impressed by Obama’s intelligence. “But he believes the generals. Even Bush knew the way to win a general was to give him another star. Obama believes the Republican Party is a party when in fact it’s a mindset, like Hitler Youth, based on hatred — religious hatred, racial hatred. When you foreigners hear the word ‘conservative’ you think of kindly old men hunting foxes. They’re not, they’re fascists.”


Another notable Obama mis-step has been on healthcare reform. “He f***ed it up. I don’t know how because the country wanted it. We’ll never see it happen.” As for his wider vision: “Maybe he doesn’t have one, not to imply he is a fraud. He loves quoting Lincoln and there’s a great Lincoln quote from a letter he wrote to one of his generals in the South after the Civil War. ‘I am President of the United States. I have full overall power and never forget it, because I will exercise it’. That’s what Obama needs — a bit of Lincoln’s chill.” Has he met Obama? “No,” he says quietly, “I’ve had my time with presidents.” Vidal raises his fingers to signify a gun and mutters: “Bang bang.” He is referring to the possibility of Obama being assassinated. “Just a mysterious lone gunman lurking in the shadows of the capital,” he says in a wry, dreamy way.


Vidal now believes, as he did originally, Clinton would be the better president. “Hillary knows more about the world and what to do with the generals. History has proven when the girls get involved, they’re good at it. Elizabeth I knew Raleigh would be a good man to give a ship to.”The Republicans will win the next election, Vidal believes; though for him there is little difference between the parties. “Remember the coup d’etat of 2000 when the Supreme Court fixed the selection, not election, of the stupidest man in the country, Mr Bush.”


Vidal says forcefully that he wished he’d never moved back to the US to live in Hollywood, from his clifftop home in Ravello, Italy, in 2000. His partner of 53 years, Howard Austen, who died in 2003, collated a lifetime’s-span of pictures of Vidal, for a new book out this autumn, Gore Vidal: Snapshots in History’s Glare (an oddly clunky title). The cover shows what a beautiful young man Vidal was, although his stare is as hawkish as it is today.


He observes presidential office-holders balefully. “The only one I knew well was Kennedy, but he didn’t impress me as a good president. It’s like asking, ‘What do I think of my brother?’ It’s complicated. I’d known him all my life and I liked him to the end, but he wrecked his chances with the Bay of Pigs and Suez crises, and because everyone was so keen to elect Bobby once Jack had gone, lies started to be told about him — that he was the greatest and the King of Camelot.”


Today religious mania has infected the political bloodstream and America has become corrosively isolationist, he says. “Ask an American what they know about Sweden and they’d say ‘They live well but they’re all alcoholics’. In fact a Scandinavian system could have benefited us many times over.” Instead, America has “no intellectual class” and is “rotting away at a funereal pace. We’ll have a military dictatorship fairly soon, on the basis that nobody else can hold everything together. Obama would have been better off focusing on educating the American people. His problem is being over-educated. He doesn’t realise how dim-witted and ignorant his audience is. Benjamin Franklin said that the system would fail because of the corruption of the people and that happened under Bush.”


Vidal adds menacingly: “Don’t ever make the mistake with people like me thinking we are looking for heroes. There aren’t any and if there were, they would be killed immediately. I’m never surprised by bad behaviour. I expect it.”


While materially comfortable, Vidal’s was not a happy childhood. Of his actress and socialite mother Nina, he says: “Give her a glass of vodka and she was as tame as could be. Growing up is going to be difficult if the one person you hate is your mother. I felt trapped. I was close to my grandparents and my father was a saint.” His parents’ many remarriages means that even today he hasn’t met all his step-siblings.


He wrote his first novel, Williwaw, at 19. In 1948, he was blacklisted by the media after writing The City and the Pillar, one of the earliest novels to deal graphically with homosexual desire. “You’ll be amazed to know it is still going strong,” he says. The “JT” it is dedicated to is James “Jimmy” Trimble, Vidal’s first love and, he once said, the love of his life. “That was a slight exaggeration. I said it because there wasn’t any other. In the new book there are wonderful pictures of him from our schooldays. He was a great athlete.” Here his voice softens, and he looks emotional, briefly. “We were both abandoned in our dormitory at St Alban’s [boarding school]. He was killed at the Battle of Iwo Jima [in 1945] because of bad G2 [intelligence].”


Vidal says Trimble’s death didn’t affect him. “No, I was in danger of dying too. A dead man can’t grieve a dead man.” Has love been important to him? “Don’t make the error that schoolteacher idiots make by thinking that gay men’s relationships are like heterosexual ones. They’re not.” He “wouldn’t begin to comment” on how they are different.


In 1956 he was hired by MGM, collaborated on the screenplay for Ben Hur and continued to write novels, most notoriously Myra Breckenridge about a transsexual. It is his satires, essays and memoirs — Live From Golgotha, Palimpsest and most recently, Point to Point Navigation — which have fully rounded our vision of this thorny contrarian, whose originality springs simply, and naturally, from having deliberately unfixed allegiances and an enduring belief in an American republic and railing sadness at how that ideal has been corrupted.


Vidal became a supportive correspondent of Timothy McVeigh, who blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 killing 168 people. The huge loss of life, indeed McVeigh’s act of mass murder, goes unmentioned by Vidal. “He was a true patriot, a Constitution man,” Vidal claims. “And I was torn, my grandfather [the Democrat Senator Thomas Gore] had bought Oklahoma into the Union.” McVeigh claimed he had done it as a protest against tyrannical government. The writer Edmund White took the correspondence as the basis for a play, Terre Haute (the jail McVeigh was incarcerated in before he was executed in 2001), imagining an encounter between the bomber and Vidal charged with desire.


“He’s a filthy, low writer,” Vidal says of White. “He likes to attack his betters, which means he has a big field to go after.” Had he wanted to meet McVeigh? “I am not in the business of meeting people,” Vidal says. “That play implies I am madly in love with McVeigh. I looked at his [White’s] writing and all he writes about is being a fag and how it’s the greatest thing on Earth. He thinks I’m another queen and I’m not. I’m more interested in the Constitution and McVeigh than the loving tryst he saw. It was vulgar fag-ism.”


Vidal says that he hates labels and has said he believes in homosexual acts rather than homosexual people. He claims his relationship with Austen was platonic (though they reputedly met at a legendary New York bath-house). He was once quoted as saying that he’d had sex with a 1,000 men by the time he was 25. It must have been a little strange for Austen, Vidal’s life companion, to source those pictures of Trimble, his first, perhaps only, love.


Vidal puts on a scornful, campy voice. “People ask [of he and Austen], ‘How did you live together so long?’ The only rule was no sex. They can’t believe that. That was when I realised I was dealing with a public too stupid by half. They can’t tell the difference between ‘The Sun rose in the East’ and ‘The Sun is made of yeast’.” Was sex important to Vidal? “It must have been yes.”

He is single now. “I’m not into partnerships,” he says dismissively. I don’t even know what it means.” He “couldn’t care less” about gay marriage. “Does anyone care what Americans think? They’re the worst-educated people in the First World. They don’t have any thoughts, they have emotional responses, which good advertisers know how to provoke.” You could have been the first gay president, I say. “No, I would have married and had nine children,” he replies quickly and seriously. “I don’t believe in these exclusive terms.”


Impaired mobility doesn’t bother him — he “rose like a miracle” on stage at the National — and he doesn’t dwell on mortality either. “Either you accept there is such a thing or you’re so dumb that you can’t grasp it.” Is he in good health? “No, of course not. I’m diabetic. It’s odd, I’ve never been fat and I don’t like candy, which most Americans are hooked on.”


There is a trace of thwarted ambition about him. “I would have liked to have been president, but I never had the money. I was a friend of the throne. The only time I envied Jack was when Joe [Kennedy, JFK’s father] was buying him his Senate seat, then the presidency. He didn’t know how lucky he was. Here’s a story I’ve never told. In 1960, after he had spent so much on the presidential campaign, Joe took all nine children to Palm Beach to lecture them. He was really angry. He said, ‘All you read about the Kennedy fortune is untrue. It’s non-existent. We’ve spent so much getting Jack elected and not one of you is living within your income’. They all sat there, shame-faced. Jack was whistling. He used to tap his teeth: they were big teeth, like a xylophone. Joe turned to Jack and he says, ‘Mr President, what’s the solution?’ Jack said, ‘The solution is simple. You all gotta work harder’.” Vidal guffaws heartily.


Hollywood living proved less fun. “If there was a social whirl, you can be sure I would not be part of it.” He does a fabulous impression of Katharine Hepburn complaining about playing the matriarch in Suddenly Last Summer, which he wrote. “I hate this script,” he recalls Hepburn saying . “I’m far too healthy a person to know people like this.” Vidal snorts. “She had Parkinson’s. She shook like a leper in the wind.”


I ask what he wants to do next. “My usual answer to ‘What am I proudest of?’ is my novels, but really I am most proud that, despite enormous temptation, I have never killed anybody and you don’t know how tempted I have been.”


That wasn’t my question, I say. “Well, given that I’m proudest that I haven’t killed anybody, I might be saving something up for someone.” A perfect line: we both laugh.

Is he happy? “What a question,” he sighs and then smiles mischievously. “I’ll respond with a quote from Aeschylus: ‘Call no man happy till he is dead’.”
