I Hope But I Know I Will Never Meet His Like Again

The year was 1979 and the highlight of that year for me was a 45-minute face-to-face radio interview with the legendary Bob Hope. Only as good as his gag writers'? Not a bit of it. He had me in unrehearsed stiches throughout the encounter. What a man, what a legacy.

The Sad Death of Scots Legal luminary Paul McBride

Do I think Paul McBride was murdered? No, actually, I don't. But only a fool would rule out the possibility - however remote - of foul play in a far off jurisdiction. Urgent questions demand urgent answers.
