Quotation of the Day for March 25, 2013



"For an American film to downplay New Zealand's good-faith efforts to help the United States in its time of need could be perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a slap against the country. It could be seen as a reminder, in their view, that the United States doesn't take New Zealand seriously. And there might be something to that, although playing up the country's potential risk to lamb exports, however valuable, is probably not going to change many minds in America."

- Max Fisher, in "Why New Zealand is officially, earnestly upset about 'Argo'."
