Geneva by nightfall. Switzerland is an interesting place. The country has long been relegated to the role of punch-line...the neutral Swiss, the chocolatier Swiss, or the watchmaker Swiss. Sometimes the punch-lines accuse Switzerland of just being boring. For better or worse the Swiss have been in the news for more controversial reasons in recent weeks--namely for stolen bank data helping countries catch tax-dodgers; Roman Polanski; a feud with a curious Libyan leader; and a seemingly xenophobic referendum on not allowing Islamic minarets. As any journalist should, I had all of these things in mind as I walked the streets of Geneva. |
