• Houston Chronicle: UK find revives the debate over Richard III’s legacy, by Anthony Faiola, Washington Post – A not in all points correct article, which seems to have been written a bit in haste and negligently, though it does combine some of the points in the War of the Cities between Leicester and York to some length. The article ends in a way as if to forcibly come to an ending and so comes to a disappointing kill-it-all conclusion, which is used to death by all Richard III opponents and gets a bit boring and lame by now. (24.11.2012)

 
I mention this last article, as it is one of the cases that the topic is discussed at length by a foreign, in this case an U.S. newspaper and this in my view makes it worth to mention. Otherwise, I try to avoid articles, which bring no news, but just repeat what is already published in other articles.
I don’t want to bore you with endless repetitions of the same content.
