Hair blows in the wind After years there is still wind Sadly no hair Now, that might go down in history along with "I have a dream", "We will fight them on the beaches" and the Gettysburg Address. Or it might not. There's plenty more where that came from- the pen of Herman van Rompuy, the Belgian Prime Minister, and apparently now the front-runner to be President of the European...
