Riassunto

Follow the money
Fresh fields and pastures new
A good day to bury bad news
If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit

Brings together a fascinating range of wrongly remembered sayings, popular summaries of original thoughts, and apocryphal or unverifiable comments attributed to a particular person. By revealing what was (and was not) really said, this book celebrates the colour and inventiveness of language change.
