...PROBLEM, therefore, with MacKinnon's bill lies in a sense precisely in its explicitness, "the quick-fix appeal" of coding into law a short-term memory of more deeply rooted, that is, historical inequalities. "Should we burn it?," Suleiman warns, is a trap. Scrubbing away at unpleasant surfaces is a domestic chore. On one hand, one wants to sling mud for mud; on the other, one is then reduced to a similar level of indecency, instead of providing new examples of civil education...

...built with faulty and substandard steel. He also cited an inoperative emergency radio, faulty signal flares and the crew's lack of familiarity with other safety equipment. But Przybielski did not call for the criminal prosecution of those responsible. That prompted angry relatives of the dead seamen to appeal to Poland's Maritime Supreme Court. The Busko Zdroj case is likely to be heard there next month...
