Morality in the political sphere hits a new nadir screamed the headlines. They caught a political bigwig along with another prominent citizen cleaning up a patch on the sidewalk in New Delhi that was littered purposefully just before the event to stage-manage the coverage for TV crews and shutterbugs. While the step was in any case meant to be symbolic and was apparently to popularize the Clean-India campaign - some news channels and newspapers would have none of it. They called it a new low - a new nadir.
That's our word of the week - nadir. It means the lowest point or opposite of zenith. It is a term borrowed from astronomy where it symbolizes a position that's beneath the observer or a marked position.
