Seneca wrote that. It means great men rejoice in adversity just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
Now that we know that Conrad Black will stay in jail, we will see whether or not he rejoices in his adversity.
Black steadfastly refuses to fade away quietly in disgrace. During his incarceration, he has taken to teaching as well as writing. It is said that his jailhouse history seminars are standing room only.
Here he is in fine form, still writing in the NP:
No one knows if there are more people who would vote for an African-American president to prove that they and their country are tolerant than would vote against him because of intolerance. I suspect there are, but no prudent person would predict the outcome of this election. Accordingly, I reaffirm my prediction that McCain will win.
Whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit that Lord Black seems to have made some premium lemonade out of the lemons life has handed him.
