Impatient as I sometimes am with David's Nice Simple Summaries, I think he puts his finger right on the nub of it here, so I'll basically flout Rule #1 long enough to agree with him. I can't see we can't have enough Divine Imperial Continuity to keep Martin and Greg happy, _and_ enough political ructions to sate Nick and MOB. I say this not simply in the spirit of George Mitchell, but as someone who wants _both_, purely for selfish reasons. (To wit, Most Funky Game-World Situation.)
Cheers,
Alex.
