Truth
Madam, The truth is as rare as a Stradivarius.
Illusions abound and are various - politi cal hijinks, offensive explosions peculiar letters and abstract notions.
Crazy behaviour between “us and them” (that’s indeed where all troubles stem!) No matter the reason for its display, the ego it seems must have its own way.
As politicians strut with excuses lame, humanity suffers the warmongers game.
In the nightmare - men, women and children scream, but money and power the plutocrats dream.
In their reign of madness they divide and rule. But at heart they are indeed a fool - for in seeing all as “others” - they murder their very own brothers!

Rugby union
Madam, I am one of your regular readers.
Recently in your issue, Vol. 65 No. 12, lad year you gave excellent coverage in sport about the involvement of Pacific Islmders particularly Samoans, Tongans anl Fijians in New Zealand Rugby Union.
What really interests me the most, is one of the team-mates, a Samoan by the nane of Danny Kaleopa. The surname somds like my great-grandfather’s name, Kaeoba, who has descendants in Samoa.
I, herefore, believe that I am related to hin, and would very much like to corre spcnd with him. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with his address ant where I could contact him. n case we are not related, then I would reqiest any contact with the descendants of lareoba (an I-Kiribati crew) in Samoa.
