This morning at breakfast a very pleasant American male voice could be heard.

I cannot say it was the voice of a man who likes listening to himself,but I can say it was the voice of a man used to being listened to.He talked incessantly,I could hear no-one responding.Only when leaving the dining room could I see him, a man of about 70 and his companion, a Chinese looking lady of about 30.Has Mr Murdoch set a precedent?
