    If the (former) Police Chief claims he has done nothing wrong, why did he quit?!

    The resignation of the British Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson is as fine an example of מידות טובות as we are ever likely to see in a public servant.

    He had clearly taken as his motto “The buck stops here” and – in Sir Paul’s case – it clearly did.

    Public figures in all countries can learn a lot from the man’s example.

    Rupert Murdoch’s monopoly of TV stations in NYC should be taken away. To own both channel 5 and channel 9 in one market is outrageous. Especially after this ugly scandal.
