QUOTATION OF THE DAY (from NYT)
The myth of Magna Carta lies at the whole origin of our perception of who we are as an English-speaking people, freedom-loving people who’ve lived with a degree of liberty and under a rule of law for 800 years. It’s a load of tripe, of course. But it’s a very useful myth.
