The art of departure...
It is Charles Aznavour who sings: You must know how to leave the table ...
One could say that the famous American journalist Helen Thomas is adept in the art of leaving the table. She was a corresponding journalist at the White House for over 50 years and she announced noisily her forced resignation after his statements to the effect that Jews should leave Palestine to settle elsewhere in the world. The reaction of the Jewish community was enraged but one wonders if Helen Thomas (89 years old) has not taken advantage of the moment of brilliance to take a well deserved retirement and make an exit noticed. The art of departures at its best ... Happy retirement to you Dear Helen!
