i savour your comment on wikipedia.
how i hate this sort of thing. people don't read books
and, thanks to wiki, undervalue good, sometimes great
achievers, and overvalue fashionable not-so-good, sometimes quite mediocre,
sometimes terrible people
and ideas.
i confess wiki is useful as a first information, however
(only for people whose only source is not this).
best ana
