...hard. The system allows them to say things they want to say without being as accountable for them. Under the conventions of the informed sources they can float trial balloons, pass hints without revealing the whole hand, threaten without intimidating, defend without losing identity. Through this swift and fluid medium of exchange, the great of the country and the world--heads of state, prime ministers, presidents, cabinet ministers and the powerful bureaucrats -- can talk to each other, be understood--and yet not be held responsible. It is both a luxury and a necessity for men with power, and they...
Menotti says of the unusual collaboration: "We both wanted simplicity, universality and timelessness, eliminating all the unnecessary claptrap."

...down other parts of the damaged cells and releasing more active substances, such as histamine. At first these constrict the blood vessels, to minimize bleeding, and initiate the clotting process. But they damage the vessels' walls, causing dilation and rubor, and letting out white cells and antibody proteins. Fluid oozes from blood vessels into the tissues, causing tumor and dolor. Biochemical signals sent through the blood and lymph systems call for the production of more infection-fighting white cells and antibodies. If the threat has been great enough, the inflammation suffuses the whole body, creating a generalized calor-fever...
