Thank you, Pat, for the excellent quote, although regrettably not always working as it should. Our PM Boris Johnson is a highly educated, biographer himself but made mistakes so stupid that it defied any logic.

Joanna, good point, about PM Johnson. I heard that they quit preparing written briefs for Donald Trump because he never (or perhaps didn’t have the attention span) to read them. Sound bites have taken the place of speeches.

Fewer people are reading now, I hear. I wonder how future leaders are preparing themselves.

Videos and twitter, perhaps (unfortunately).

This is one of my bugbears – our leaders never seem to learn from history.

Thanks, Francisco. Too bad that tweets have replaced reading something that requires more than the attention span of a gnat.

“All leaders must be readers”? — Trump must have missed that quote (which is understandable, given that he doesn’t read). 😉

I’ve heard that he never read his daily briefs so they quit doing it.
