[Dixielandjazz] OBSCURITY

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

I am not surprised, nor am I silenced. You might like Hugh MacDiarmid's couplet 


with difficulty some elements of worth
still manage to persist here and there on Earth!

on this site certainly!
Robert

>Why are you surprised?
>Have you not noticed that any report which covers an incident of which you have personal knowledge bears no relationship to what actually occurred.
>I used to fly gliders. Every time a glider landed away from the airfield. the local papers headlined `Airplane crashes`.This was in spite of personally ringing the editors of all the local papers and offering them the `real ` story. When I broke my leg hang gliding on my first flight the papers ran with `Experienced pilot injured in crash`
>Every time that the anchor in the studio has to depart from the script or ask a supplementary question on a report, they display total ignorance of the subject. Any subject!
>These people have a vote! The mind boggles.
