Great Minds

Has any other reader noticed the remarkable resemblance betweeen Doris Lessing, the octogenarian Nobel literature laureate and "epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny," and Bernard "B-Hop" Hopkins who is due to be subjected to Joe Calzaghe's scrutiny with scepticism, fire and power on April 19th?

I wonder if they are, by any chance, related?

Hopkins: "Barack Obama 'will be assassinated within months' if he wins presidency"

Lessing: "They would kill him," the 88-year-old author of novels The Grass Is Singing and The Golden Notebook said in an interview, though she did not specify who she believed would kill Mr Obama.

Prodnose: Well that's something of a hostage to fortune don't you think?
Myself: John 19:22; Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
