Dear Editor,
Permit me a few lines to mourn the passing of a Caribbean media giant – Oliver Clarke who chaired the Jamaica Gleaner. You saluted him well in your testimonial editorial yesterday. I first met him when I was twelve and he at the LSE with my elder sister. We stayed in contact despite his suspicions about my (non-existent) ‘Marxist’ leanings. He was a good man. David de Cairies and Oliver will be having interesting conversations in the great printing press in the sky!
Yours faithfully,
John ‘Bill Cotton/Reform’ Mair
