Richie,

You have one too many hangmen there.

Hangman Hangman slacken the rope
Slacken it for a while
I think I see my own true love
Coming for many a mile

(that last line is a guess, but anyway, in the version I learned years ago that first line wouldn't scan). okay, so there's some music here now.

Any bets on how long it will take the gruesome photos to bleed into the American press? The media folks are all trying to figure out who will run them first--because the first one is liable to get clobbered, then no one will care about the rest. Geez. Meanwhile, anyone in the Middle East had better be watching their back now.

SRS
