Kings of the Savannah: A Tale About Growth
Out on the grassy plains of Africa nature plays out in harmony. Mother Nature has decreed that the lions eat the zebras and that the zebras breed faster than the lions so there are always plenty of them about. Zebras of course are not keen on the idea of being eaten by lions, but are comforted by the fact that the more zebras there are, the less likely they themselves will be the one who gets eaten.

Made in Hungary: Viktor Orban and the Zsa Zsa Factor
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is best known for his controversial relationships—his "bromance" with Trump, his friendship with Putin, his handshakes with Xi. Much like Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian-born Hollywood actress famous for her nine marriages, Orban makes headlines because of his partners. But just as Gabor's marriages and divorces, his complicated relationships are not turning into liabilities but strategic assets that enhance his image.
