I was afraid of being presumptuous when I was writing for my earlier posting because my daughter’s results was not yet available. Just got a call from her when she was nervously about to press the button to get her results.
My fears were unfounded when she read to me the details. She got her Honours Class I as expected, plus two prizes: Jean Blondel Prize for Best Undergraduate Degree Result (Dept of Government) and Oscar Arias Prize for Best Undergraduate Dissertation!
Congratulations!

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
