And Shakespeare got his due, as one would expect, given a grave on a putting green. Ken Tigar, possibly the quickest witted of this quick crew, finally declaimed "come, my trusty nine iron" as he plunged the weapon through his breast...

As Gomulka once complained: "Everyone peels his own turnip." Six Competitors. The meatiest turnip is the Common Market.
