from SLATE's on-line news summary: >Several papers report that while visiting Poland, Bill Clinton was hit on >the sleeve with an egg tossed by an anti-globalization protestor, and that >he more or less laughed off the incident. But the WP's T.R. Reid reports >that during a campaign appearance in Wales yesterday, Britain's deputy >prime minister, John Prescott (a former amateur boxer), wasn't laughing >when he got egged in the head at >close range--he punched the yolker in the face and ended up on the ground >wrestling with him. Best quote in the story comes from William Hague, >leader of the opposition Conservatives, who, when asked what he would have >done in the same circumstance, replied: "It is not my policy to hit voters >during an election."
