My writing has improved, but the journalist thing eludes me, so far. But I feel it within my grasp.

I know the street and even the cafes you mention in Stanford...it brings back memories for me about the Cape, about your father and what he represented to me. As a close friend of Kerry's in NZ (we had your dad over to New Year's Eve a few years ago), currently resident of Dar es Salaam, (where the most interesting people I have met are the correspondents), it was lovely to get this personal perspective on one of my best places in the world and on some of the best models of independent, critical journalists!
