Almost as bad as linkage, in Jerusalem's eyes, was the letter about recognizing Egypt's right to aid an ally attacked by Israel. Charged Lavie: "This neutralizes the peace treaty of its real and meaningful essence. If this is accepted, we will not have peace with Egypt." There was concern, for instance, that Syria could mass troops threateningly on Israel's border in order to provoke an Israeli pre-emptive attack, thereby giving Cairo an excuse to join in a war against Israel...
...biographies. (His Bolivar dubbed the great liberator "a vulgar imitator of Napoleon.") In Anarchy or Hierarchy (1937), Madariaga called for political equality but social hierarchy, since he believed that "inequality is the inevitable consequence of liberty."

Safes fall out of windows and just miss unsuspecting pedestrians, people keep bumping into each other, the odd-tasting pot of beef stew turns out to have a shoe in it. These tired routines would be forgivable...
