Reading through the "Mr. and Mrs. North" series by Frances and Richard Lockridge. Jerry North is the owner of North Books, Inc., a publishing company. In "The Long Skeleton" (1958), he muses that the only way for an author to make money would be to sue a publisher for defamation. 😂

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Because for Americans, everything is a competition and a game of oneupsmanship. And because they fear anyone different from themselves.

And the fact that since the 1960s, fashion models have looked like 15-year-olds.
