A racket in Portugal: the spread of the urban myth: Down there in the aching panic of Portugal, there are many things they do not need. Investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is not helped by psychics, prurience, false sightings or – at least as distracting from useful effort – by the intrusion of urban myth. And yet, over the past ten days, we have watched it flourish with unedifying ease.
No geral, concordo: Dói ver ou ler as notícias sobre a criança inglesa desaparecida.
