Another medical mishap from Max Gergel
On Monday I posted Max Gergel's account of how a doctor mended his (romantically) broken heart in an unusually prosaic way. Here's another tale from his book "Excuse Me Sir, Would You Like to Buy a Kilo of Isopropyl Bromide?" - this one describing an abortive truth serum. We had a visit from a Dr. Johns, who was an exponent of the "Modern Coué Method of Self-Hypnosis" ("every day in every way I am getting better and better"). Johns was, himself, a hypnotist, and I learned that his visit to Columbia was sponsored by a wealthy family whose head had a drinking problem. He was summone... more »

Trojan princes were not taking large fleets from Asia Minor to the Levant to conduct a war of conquest while leaving their flank open to adventurous Greek Warlords. Those warlords were not combining to attack Troy in the face of such a fleet either. In fact this prince is Trojan only because he is from Asia minor in the right time and place that archeologists believe is Troy. This is known as ... more »

Transcript: 'Newsnight', 9 April 2019, Katie Razzall report
Katie Razzall *Emily Maitlis*: For months, we have heard little from Ukip, the party who were victorious last time European Elections were fought.

He's started his own Brexit Party called - you guessed it - the Brexit Party. So how will it fare against Ukip, and how much of the Leave vote could either - or both - of these parties hoover up if we do contest those European elections? Here's Katie Razzall.
