The last time it surfaced here so strongly was in 1998, when Labour was in government, and now here it is again. Incidentally, the deputy prime minister’s son is one of the people who ‘run’ for Sri Chinmoy.

Labour was in government for almost the whole of 1998.

Clutter – that is about the sum of it.

These are recent publications by Henry Frendo.

‘Dimech’ by Mark Montebello is, if nothing, a superbly researched book. I do not regret putting aside my prejudices and reading several of his works. I am sure that you are capable of seeing through any biases that he might have towards Dimech’s persona and arriving to your own conclusions. Oh, and the Maltese employed in ‘Dimech’ is exquisite, if you care for such things.

Nelson Mandela is not celebrated because he “reformed himself”. He is celebrated because he was a key player in the fight to end apartheid.
