Could boycotts help restore some civil discourse on political issues? » There aren't many individuals in history whose names are taken in vain more than Capt. C.C. Boycott, the notorious Irish landlord who cut the wages of his tenant farmers and got himself ostracized -- and the English language enriched -- in return.The captain's name has seldom been out of public circulation since then.
