Clintonus Maxiumus! Ave!
: Considering that Bill Clinton is reportedly considering going for the post of rektor of Oxford University, the Financial Times has the idea of telling the Clinton tale — in Latin. You can’t get it at the FT without paying but you can get it at Der Spiegel:
Magnam gaudeam nuntio vobis. Habemus Cancellarius! Guilelmus Clinton est, quondam collegium universitatem discipulus et imperator stati americani consociati.
In res publicis et civitatis homo erectus stupendus ut in mens et in corpore. Philosophus profundus, per exemplo, ‘Quae quod significatio verbi “est” est?’
Even I can understand that punchline.
