    Description of I Wish I Hadn't Said That

    Whether it's Stalin announcing that 'Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union', or an MGM executive's judgment of Fred Astaire in 1928 ('Can't act. Can't sing. Can dance a little'), or the editor of the San Francisco Examiner informing Rudyard Kipling in 1889, 'You just don't know how to use the English language', this book sets straight thousands of examples of expert misunderstanding, miscalculation, egregious prognostication, boo-boos and plain lies.
    'No woman in my lifetime will be prime minister' - Margaret Thatcher
