An Englishman Walks Into A Presidential Press Conference...

This is an interesting story told by the BBC's John Simpson. He tells us about getting re-assigned to work from Montevideo Uruguay during the Falkland war between England and Argentina way back when.

Mr. Simpson essentially barged his way into a presidential press conference by the then military dictator General Alvarez.

I don't know that I see the correlation between General Alvarez's snafu on live TV and his getting demoted, but what do I know.
