I have been thinking whether there was a foul play in that plane crash. But I have yet to read anything about that. What would motivate them to kill him? do you have any literature you would like to share? There is a very good good about Lumumba, but Dag?

It has been more than two years since I left Zambia. And these days always fill me with memories that make want to go back. It is warm there this time of the year. The last rain fell in April and the chill of June and July is replaced by a crispy dusty warm wind. The grass if not burned are brown. But the trees are exploding into foliage. Buds shoot and clothe branches stripped naked during the cold months. Hues in between deep red and green reach out and fly in the wind. But what

sometimes, i think that tv mirrors back to us what we are collectively. the mere fact that such things can make it to national tv means there are people who watch them. currently, we have a lot of "reality" shows. maybe that is a kind of mass narcissism.
