The 'TV fairy' story is bizarre, to say the least. The motive remains the most mysterious element, though putting time and effort into prosecuting the offender comes a close second... I have long admired Stringer Lawrence - and Clive, too, for that matter, as much of his misapprobation was the result of bias. Lawrence was a most interesting and intelligent man. As for English kings under parking lots, perhaps we should ask why there are so many blasted cars that need parking lots... And the Depression era recipes are good ones; it's a shame we need them again...
