“The row about Ayers reveals there is still a distortion in our memories of the violence of that time. After condemning Obama for vaguely knowing Ayers, John McCain boasted about his “close friendship” with Henry Kissinger – and nobody noticed the dissonance.

Can it be right to damn one as a terrorist and laud the other as a great statesman?” – Hari in The Independent/UK
