Dear Editor, Perhaps Mr. Paul Kokoski (“Secular humanism loses its capacity to rise to the truth of being” March 3, 2008) doesn’t know it, but in many previous letters to the press I have already refuted the so-called ‘genius’ of that “non-democratic cabal of doddering old ecclesiastical celibates.”

Dear Editor, Mr Clive Fredericks’ letter captioned “The original intention of the Hinterland Scholarship Programme was that students live with families in Georgetown”, (08.03.07) is not an opinion shared by all hinterland scholarship awardees, both present and past.

Dear Editor, I am writing in relation to a letter by Frank Fyffe captioned “This schoolgirls’ steel band deserves support” (08.03.02) which refers to the Wismar Christiansburg Multilateral Schoolgirls’ steelband.
