-----but Deputy Donnelly inspired me when he set about dissecting what happened in recent years. I could not resist the temptation because I had to make the comparison. There is no good in telling me that I was wrong; I was there at the time. The point is that the old lapse of memory is amazing. We tend to see things as they are and not to compare them with how they could or should be.
