At least it is the only propagandist of truth which is just shy:of the Divine. Much has taken place in the world since last this pen set forth from my desk (beneath my portrait of Bill Buckley) a message of gloom and docm, or another chapter in the ongoing saga of humankinds demise. Perhaps it is my insomnia- induced state of paranoia which now pervades my brain; but I feel that since December, the world has not became any more promising a piece of real estate in which to invest in 1981 than it was in 1980. There were sate encouraging signs afoot: for example Ronald Reagan and a Republican Senate, with the G.O.P. but 26 1 seats short of a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, promises a more secure Iuture- if there remains any time to Secure a future- for the Free World over the next four years. 'Ihe rapid recovery of Jamaica from its socio—eccncmic and political malaise (con- tracted under the Marxist Michael Manle1l), due to the brillian efforts of Prime Minister Edward Seaga and the Jamaican labor Party, seems to be putting yet another nail into the already overburdened cOffin of deftmct socialism.

For five centuries Poland has fought bravely for survival against Imperial Russians, Prussians, Austro-Hungarians, Stalinists, and Nazis, and the post war Soviet state. All those who hath dared seek Poland's demise, and will ever in the future seek ‘ EEE end, should learn from history— the brave Poles will live to play the "Polonaise" on their graves! In Red China, the "Gang of Four" trial has come ,' to an end. Guess what? The "Gang" was found guilty! Surprise, Surprise! - It seems the error of the "Great Proletarain Cultural Revolution" was their fault. - Shame, shame. Yet Mao hath been vindicated.
