****************************
Rewind From – Nov 26, 2022
Little children have fantasies.
The child who is skinny and weak delights in dreaming that,
With the snap of a finger, he can become a Stallone,
or-minus ze German accent – a Schwarzenegger.
The kid who rarely leaves home and doesn’t travel
wishes he could be a pilot or an astronaut.
But what is one to make of a child who believed he was God?
Those were the thoughts of young George Soros, growing
up in upper-middle-class surroundings in 1930s Budapest.
