Mary Beard Discovers Cicero in Hungary

http://timesonline.typepad.com/dons_life/2012/02/ciceros-words-still-hit-the-spot.html
This is Mary Beard's blog, "A Don's Life," where today she observes that Cicero's indignant opening words of the First Catilinarian continue to be used in political situations around the world. She has found a recent example from Hungary, where a protester is shown on the news holding up a banner reading "Quousque tandem." How long, indeed?
