New Orleans, the sore that keeps on oozing. Maybe they can make T-shirts up.

They need some medieval treatment: in Florence [a relatively civilized place, by comparison with others] a killer would be carted to the execution- and the executioner would be there, right on the cart, with the red-hot pincers. Once the fire in the brazier to re-heat the pincers went out - the crowd stopped the procession, physically maltreated the executioner, and forced him to recharge the brazier at the nearby bakery shop before they were allowed to proceed any further [see Landucci's diaries]. Bring something similar to NO - and the moral climate there would palpably improve.

The gun ornament is a national story. Not a NO one.
