Last night, I invested 45 minutes in watching Mr. Pinter's speech.
It was stunning. Not so much the production (although the three-
camera setup with a deep-blue backdrop and a large photograph of a
younger Pinter was used well enough) but the man, his ideas and his
delivery.
His offer to write a speech for President Bush and his delivery of
that speech are spellbinding. He makes no attempt to imitate Bush's
mannerisms or accent, but the short sentences, the danger masked by a
smile is very Bush. If you don't watch the whole thing, watch that
bit, very near the end.
Dare I hope there is a copy of the speech floating around online,
and it
was that you watched?
I viewed it at the Nobel Prize site itself:

Pick high or low bandwidth format.
You can also get to the text of his speech in several languages,
including the original English, there.
