The homunculus, a kind of fuhrer, can even split his personality at will; disguised as a worker, he incites the poor to rebel against his own dictatorship...the homunculus, the artificial creature born in a laboratory...the honourable citizen...he has hitherto appeared to be is suddenly changed and he brandishes his umbrella like a weapon...such transformations carry the phenomenon of split personality to its extreme. Wrapped in a cloak ' of a very particular shade of brown' (!)...

Birth of a World Order
The financial crisis helped spawn "a new world order" in the shape of the Group of 20 leading nations, according to Gordon Brown, who chaired the London summit in April. The UK prime minister argues the G20 is a nascent global economic government, since it includes fast-growing powers such as Brazil, China and India alongside big industrial nations from the G8. He has assigned Shriti Vadera, one of his closest aides, to help South Korea prepare for its G20 presidency next year. Some at Westminster speculate that he might like to run the organisation himself.
