EARLIER this year, we raised grave concerns over an incident of alleged police brutality in Eleuthera.
STATESIDE: The President’s apologists parading like a mobster and his moll
When they walked into the large meeting room lined with pew-like benches, the couple looked like nothing so much as an ageing mobster and his moll.

The woman trailing slightly behind looked vaguely troubled under her shock of red hair.

THE PETER YOUNG COLUMN: Britain down and out - don’t you believe it
As a final reflection on our lengthy summer visit to England, I was genuinely puzzled by the degree of negativity, particularly in the media, about Britain and its status in the world. According to some, the nation’s standing and influence as a leading global power has suddenly been severely curtailed or even no longer exists.

Investors should take a close look at Doctors Hospital Health System (DHS), our only non-Government full-service medical centre. DHS has never attracted much attention because of its small market capitalisation - ten million shares outstanding, trading at about $2.20 per share.
