Entry: Of Wise Turks and Foolish Christians Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/of_wise_turks_and_foolish_christians#15522 Post contents: As I recall from Lord Norwich's history of the Byzantine Empire, Lkas Notaras saw his son beheaded for failure to pleasure the Sultan, followed by himself, after the fall of the City on Black Tuesday, May 29, 1453. Not to infer anythiong like that under Gov. Romney, who seems to be a nice enough fellow, but merely to reflect on the difficulty of making accurately calibrated calculations in this area.
