I was struck by the inspiring speech made by President Obama last night to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. It is remarkable how quickly the President and his Secretary of State, Mrs. Hilary Clinton, have managed to rehabilitate the United States in the eyes of the world. I very much welcome his comments on adopting a policy of mutual respect for mutual interests. I encourage countries such as North Korea and Iran to take him at his word and enter a process of engagement in order that they can rehabilitate themselves in the eyes of the world.

As everybody will be aware, today is the 250th anniversary of the "black stuff". Many people will extoll its virtues and its taste, and will say how healthy it is. I was always impressed by its advertising department and its adverts.
