This post was written by Fe P.Koons. I thought it too important not to include on my blogsite. This is a genuine memory of an invent that has remained with Fe all her life. It teaches us how devastating the effects of militarization can be on communities and on children's minds. This story, and many … Continue reading WE MUST NEVER FORGET

Imelda Marcos Bought LACMA’s “Goya”
I love this article for no other reason than it describes so perfectly Imelda's acquisitiveness when it came to buying works of art. In an earlier blog I wrote about her "wall to wall Holbein". Had the Holbein been authentic, of course, the whole art world would have turned upside down. It would have been … Continue reading Imelda Marcos Bought LACMA’s “Goya”
Booty & The Beast by Alan Robles

The Game Plays Out (Part 111)
As Murray had so rightly calculated, Khan called me the very next morning. “What happened to you yesterday, Miss Kennedy?” he asked abruptly. “I’m so sorry,” I replied. Despite my pounding heart, I was trying my best to sound convincing, “I really did have to get back to the newspaper urgently. I did warn you … Continue reading The Game Plays Out (Part 111)
Nothing Can Go Wrong – Part 2
In Search of the Maharishi
As soon as I arrived in Hong Kong, in June 1968, I called an old boyfriend of mine, a Scotsman, Ian Black, who had been working as chief news correspondent on the South China Morning Post for the past three years.
