Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Sunday | October 1, 2006

EDITORIAL - An appalling state of affairs
On Thursday, September 14, we published as our Letter of the Day, the observations of a visitor from Canada who had returned home to see her mother being attended in the Kingston Public Hospital.

'Freedom' still out of reach
The emancipation of slavery only partially satisfied the blood, sweat and tears of a people who for themselves and subsequent generations had made the ultimate sacrifice to achieve it. (Hewitt)


Portia is unstoppable
The intelligentsia has worked itself up into a lather, because Portia Simpson Miller threatens to clean up the place in six months. This programme is openly derided by the pundits as crash work. It is cited as not a sustainable basis for development.


Sick state of affairs
Familiarity breeds contempt. Thankfully, contempt did not produce a child or attempt to have a delivery at 'Lyin in,' also known as the Victoria Jubilee Hospital (VJH), because it would run the risk of having complications. (Taylor)


Dr. Lewin Williams and Caribbean theology
In the recent death of Rev. Dr. Lewin Williams, President of the United Theological College of the West Indies (UTC), the Caribbean church community has lost a very gracious and dedicated theologian.
