Repose

[Some 48 hours after the drop-off one of the major papers in the Capital carries a third-page headline about a number of charities running, with roots very deep into certain factions in the Capital through which money is pushed. It doesn't get the kind of prominence an article exposing that degree of corruption in the heart of the Capital would, but the money going into the paper itself isn't all that clean. The article on the other hand skirts as close as an editor will allow to suggesting that some of the charitable activity the good citizens of the city are engaged in? Is entirely self-serving. Financially as well as morally.]
