The Historical Society of Switzerland has said there is no historical foundation for Tell and Gessler.

There are similar legends in other places like England (William of Cloudesley), Norway and Persian(now Iran).

I don't know anyone who can fire a cross-bow; arrows I can see.

For a terrific performance of the Rossini overture, Toscanini, who turns a war-horse (a turn of phrase not an animal) into a fresh experience.

Can I have my childhood back,please?
