  skepticlawyer — Authority: 511
  Sometimes, both sides of an argument are right. Not just partly right, or right on odd numbered days, or right only under certain circumstances.

• Against Trade Unionism

  
  ANTIDOTE — Authority: 495
  There was a big strike in Gurgaon – and one of the eminent opinions on it is in serious error. I was about to start writing when the doorbell called me away. It was the housemaid.
