You probably do not want my public agreement on this but reading Pinter's
speech in the paper this morning was a great way to wake up. Aside from his
powerful and uncompromising analysis of corrupt Western power (and its
abuses) his observations on the relationship between art and life, the
respective "duties" of the artist and the citizen (that these are not always
the same thing), was timely and incisive.
