Leader Of

The Year

READERS are reminded that entries for Pacific Is lands Monthly's Leader Of The Year close in No vember. Responses continues to cover a broad cross-section of regional personalities, and to come from a similarly broad area of the world: we have even received nominations from Italy and Denmark, as well as Canada, the United States and Malaysia!

One of the most notable trends is the move fore shadowed in July’s Opinion pages away from “estab lishment” leaders and those with decades of experience in guiding the nations of the Pacific, political parties or international agencies, toward younger, and often more radical, men and women.

Nominations for Pacific women, incidentally, have been fewer than we would have wished; so there is still time to send in your vote for a woman who has been not able in politics, social issues, education, development, business or environmental affairs over the past year. □
