Salon.com is a pay site, but sometimes you can read their content for free if you hit them on the right day -- they'll offer you this in return for sitting through a short ad first. In any case, the subscription rate is only $40/year, which is so worth it, so just subscribe. And hey, your money will go to supporting that erstwhile vast liberal media conspiracy!
And no, I don't get any kickback from Salon for getting you to sign up. Just a warm fuzzy.
In the case that you don't want to fork over the bux, you can probably Google some combination of "Pinter," "Nobel," and "speech."
And no, I don't get any kickback from Google, either.

Why is it acceptible to have neo-spelling (as in "spending the bux") but not neo-verbs ("let's conference about that over lunch")? A pox on them all, I say. I want to vote for a politician who will uphold the privacy inherent in the Constitution -- and levy the death penalty on those who make grammar errors on their public signs.

More to the point re Pinter's speech: Listen to the recent plain-speaking home truths of Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.). Murtha is a Pentagon hawk and Viet Nam vet, who's turned on Bush's War. Today, after Bush's speech in my adopted hometown -- where Bush took 5, count 'em 5 "unscripted" questions -- Murtha blasted the president for continuing to use campaign style rhetoric about the war.
