  • TITLE: "Two Words" A clever bit of parallel construction using the phrase: "two words" interspersed throughout the column to provide continuity.

  • "… International Herald Tribune …" Here is the link to the International Herald Tribune report of the poll

  • "... Pew ..." Here, from the Pew Research Center, is their description of who was included in the International Herald Tribune Poll:
    Politics: Current or former elected officials at the national level who are influential in international affairs or international economics; political activists who are influential in international affairs or have been active in anti-globalization, environmental or development activities.
    Media: Columnists, journalists and editors in print or electronic media who are responsible for the international material covered in their newspaper or broadcast.

  • "… More rather than less …" This was Bill Clinton's promise to the American people regarding providing information about Monica Lewinsky on day TWO of the Lewinsky affair during which Clinton denied was an affair.

  • "... Speed limit ..." This line is courtesy of one of my friends in Paris, Barbara McDuffie.
