APOLOGY
In the washroom of his London club, British newspaper publisher and politician William
Beverbrook happened to meet Edward Heath, then a young member of Parliament, about whom
Beverbrook had printed an insulting editorial a few days earlier. "My dear
chap," said the publisher, embarrassed by the encounter. "I've been thinking it
over, and I was wrong. Here and now, I wish to apologize." "Very well,"
grunted Heath. "But the next time, I wish you'd insult me in the washroom and
apologize in your newspaper."
