Postcard From the Edge

I have my plane ticket and leave for Nigeria in the early morn for two days. My agenda there is full and I hope to get some of our litigation strategy set. I would like to initiate a class action over here on behalf of harmed journalists, but we shall see.

Am reading Stanley's book "How I found Livingstone," which he completed from his diaries of his daily journey across Eastern Africa in 1871 on behalf of the New York Herald. As you know, he found Livingstone after one hell of a trek across a very hostile environment. Many died during the journey and they all endured numerous privations and diseases, of which, Malaria was most notable. By the way, the local rag has a story about a potential vaccine for the disease that people here are trying out. If it works it will be the first successful one to date.

I will next do a blog when I return from Nigeria. See you all then...
