As auto-parts magnate Frank Stronach sues his daughter Belinda Stronach for $520
million CDN to regain control of the family-operated Magna International Inc.[1], an idea comes to mind that the 86-year-old might better spend his time reading
Shakespeare’s King Lear. As the Fool puts it to the King of his conflict with his daughters:
For you know, nuncle,
The hedge sparrow fed the cuckoo so long
That it’s had it head bit off by it young.
So out went the candle, and we were left darkling.[2]
