Dangerous animals

Monday 18 May, the august leader page of The Times of London, newspaper of record

1st words, 1st Leader (sub-heading): Swine flu

Last words, 3rd Leader (sub-heading): Cow dissent




What is cow dissent?

No! Cowing is what some politicians try to do to dissent!




I am reminded of the 1970s when the fashion for thrillers which used proper-noun-as-adjective in their title took off– The Matlock Papers was one best seller

(The tradition continues with the more recent & even more stellar The Da Vinci Code)

One wag announced he was writing his own best seller, to be called The Oliver Twist
