'I have never become a 'Johnny One-Note' in either music, politics, or strategy, and almost certainly never will be, now, after more than ninety-one years of life, and have been never in much danger of drifting from that course, especially now. We shall now come to the relevance of that point for insight into the life, and also the matter of the recent clinically concluding death of Ariel Sharon, after his long, and bitterly complicated political life. . . .'
