Bayreuth Professor on Guttenberg

You can read much from the way in which Professor Lepsius moves and speaks.  His speech is articulate and fluid, while the tone of his voice indicates not only that he is offended but on some deep level disappointed.  There is something boyish about the manner in which he enunciates even though the actual content of his speech is appropriately composed, mature, direct and judgmental.  Needless to say he comes across as the opposite of Guttenberg, who has spoken to the camera about this scandal either in playful winks or in the quite demeanor of someone who is receiving censure with the expectation that later he will be allowed to continue playing.  Lepsius, on the other hand, does not want to come across as the fire and brimstone judge, but more than disbelieving recipient of a blatant lie.  He calls Guttenberg a fraud, which the newspapers point out would, under different circumstances, have been grounds for a law suit.  There is more than a little unconscious parent-child role-playing embedded in the public statements made on all sides.
