a portion,
spot,
area or the like, that is especially or solely vulnerable. In Greek mythology,
Achilles was an
illustrious Greek warrior. He had been dipped in the river Styx (one of the mythological rivers of
Hell) by his
mother, which rendered him invulnerable except in the
heel by which she held him. He was fatally wounded by an arrow in that
heel.
Recently in Los Angeles, up the line from Los Angeles, a place called Eureka, and the public prosecutor, something of the area, decided that Eureka - "I have found it; I have found the Achilles' heel," and he piled in on the top of an auditor there - a branch, a little town organization - and he came in on top of this with a crash and he thought he was really going to get someplace and telex roared.
