Maxwell's House: Beset by Eddie Seaga, Betrayed by Mutty Perkins ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist

Beset by Eddie Seaga, Betrayed by Mutty Perkins. DESMOND ALLEN Interviews John Maxwell. When the PNP won the 1959 general elections by a landslide, Maxwell felt that his own analysis had held true over Seaga's. "He has never forgiven me for those two articles," Maxwell firmly believes. But this was child's play, compared with what was to come 13 years later when he would face an unconquerable Seaga in a bruising electoral battle for the fearsome West Kingston constituency. The courage of Peter Abrahams.

Maxwell's House: The Battle of Hope Gardens ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist
http://johnmaxwellshouse-1999.blogspot.com/2006/02/battle-of-hope-gardens.html
The Battle of Hope Gardens. Hope Gardens is a very desirable address. Perhaps, after King’s House, Jamaica House and Vale Royal, it must be the most desirable address in all Jamaica. It has been so desirable that for many years, government departments have muscled their way into the gardens, simply by redefining Hope Gardens to their own purposes. They have redefined the gardens to a small sliver of land of about 30 acres - half the size it was in the seventies and a fraction of its true extent. Fast for...

Many, many years ago, when I was a teenager at high school, the local cinema mogul would once or twice a term lend the school a projector and a feature film which had been shown everywhere else. This time the projector worked but the sound didn't. The film was "Whispering Smith", a western epic, starring Alan ladd, then at the height of his stardom, a tough, no-nonsense cowboy. I began to laugh and my fellows, to whom Alan Ladd was a genuine hero, looked at me quizzically. The Cubans do it better. In the...

Can Freedom Wear Jackboots? Elie Weisel, a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews, said eloquently: "In those times, those who were in the death camps felt not only tortured and murdered by the enemy, but also tortured and murdered by what they considered to be the world's silence and indifference.". The world is remembering Auschwitz and the Holocaust. It is not paying any notice to the 200-year Holocaust still under way in Haiti. At the UN Holocaust commemoration, Archbishop Cilistino Migliore...

Even the notoriously noncommittal Kofi Annan must have been surprised when a journalist questioned his credentials for refereeing the current Mideast free-for-all. At a press conference in Rome after the failed Middle East peacekeeping talks, an English-speaking journalist drove hard at Mr Annan. Didn't the UN secretary-general think that his condemnation of Israel for deliberately bombing the UN position undermined his qualifications to be an honest broker in the conflict? Israel's frustration is showing.

Maxwell's House: March 2004 ::: John Maxwell ::: Jamaican Journalist & Columnist

Our Debt is Long Past Due. The Caribbean has now proven that it is even more hopeless at diplomacy than it is at cricket. And, as in cricket, those who are considered guilty are not those at the top but the foot-soldiers. Our gutless leaders - unable to look a principle in the face - are, as I write on Friday, busy selling the Haitian people down the river. . .again. Condoleezza Rice has apparently threatened Jamaica directly, telling Patterson to get rid of Aristide or face unspecified consequences.
