The birds are coming! They've ai iyed in Lucknow t Take cover! Last week I had a flashback to the days when Alfred Hitchcock's thriller movie The Birds was popular, I don't know how many years ago that was. I do know that e. ver'ytune I see more than a dozen bids* gathering that movie comes back in full blown color, or maybe it was black and white. Anyway, one ;evening,• lash week`. while I was watering the plants, 1 heard this noise and looked up, :. Moving in a south to north direction were- thousands of black birds. l guess -you'd call it flock- ing. Now f've seen birds flock before, but never have I, seen this many at once. I -could actually hear the flutter.: ing of their wings, or maybe nay ears were playing tricks. I dropped the hose and my legs start- ed to carry me quickly to the :house; to avoid: the menacing beaks of those birds. Reality set in, ;.l..stopped in my tracks.

Latin 'polilim, mean- ing "the hide torn from an animal," or "booty," comes the word 'spoils, meaning the incidental benefits reaped by the. winner of a fight or con- test, The phrase "to the victor belongs the spoils" sound`s as if it should have a_martial origins, but in fact was popularized iii 1831 by Senator Marcy and refers to the "spoils sys- tem" which was first used by Thomas Jefferson. This.. is a practice whereby the victorious party in an election cam- paign rewards • its support- ers by appointing them, to public office. A spoiler is a third can- didate in an election whose only effect is to take votes from one of the main candidates, and: a spoilsman is someone who looks for profit out of politics.
