The great English conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, once noticed a new man in his orchestra and he asked his name. "Ball, sir," was the reply. "How singular!" immediately quipped Beecham. I was reminded of this when I noticed that Britain'a new prime minister had nominated to his cabinet a man called Balls. How appropriately plural! Another cabinet member will be called Darling. What a titillating cabinet.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
