Who's isn't nowadays? They bank on instilling fear in us all. Menuhin is a brave man and he is also a very old man and toward the end of his days anyway. We are all on borrowed time anyway, some children die of bad diseases and some of us are blessed with more time on the earth than others but the moral of the story is to tell the truth and shame the devil while we are here.     The way i see it, the author's life would be in danger. :cool:
