In the new American parlour game
of contradicting a promise never
to take, lying down, the latest
thing the American President has
done to trigger it, we allow no
revulsion to obscure those mer-
rier occasions for this posture,
with their validation of a self-
regard remembered from democracy.
And when better than Friday, to
haul them out of the repertoire
of spinally spirited antics, and
relish their interesting effect?
Surely others are bound to recur
to one; these are but a start ..
Any suggestion of a sequencing,
temporal or hierarchical, is pos-
sibly unintended, although one can
never be sure about intention now-
adays. So many vows, so little con-
sequence.
