Truth, Literature and...

i live in Austria. on New Year's Day, our president always makes a speech on TV.

so do the presidents of other countries, and kings and queens, and whatnots.

usually these New Year Addresses are boring and annoying.

but one guy, a few weeks ago, made a really good speech about literature, dramatics, this world and the role a certain nation plays in it.

so, if you haven't yet read, or heard, or seen Mr. Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize Lecture, you might do so now.

happy new year! lots of truth and beauty and happiness to all of you.
