There's the chief neurologist of the CHUV (Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois) who has allegedly embezzled up to 2 mio. CHF for his hobby, books. There has been election fraud. There have been riots in Zurich - feels like back in the beginning of the eighties! There is the "cat fight" in Zurich (no, I think you are not involved <g>) between Fuhrer and Fierz. The Conseiller fédéral Deiss has resigned and the speculations are on for his successor. The CEOs earn too many millions. And then there is Bernard Rappaz (on a hunger strike for 50 days now because of his provisional detention since March 15) etc. etc. .... Really, reading Swiss newspapers hasn't been so interesting in years.

The husband of Rey-Bellet has just been found dead in a forest close to Ollon VD. He apparently shot himself. It's really tragic: Rey-Bellet's brother was supposed to get married on Friday, instead, there will be the funeral.
