EDITORIAL - Opportunity for a new start
Prime Minister Bruce Golding will, by now, have already crafted the message he intends to deliver to Jamaicans to mark the start of the new year. Since it is his first New Year message in this job, we expect a slight difference in the tone from that which he adopted when he was Leader of the Opposition.
Happy birthday to me
Today is my birthday. I am not telling you of this anniversary because I want you to send me presents I will not refuse them. I am just mentioning it as a matter of record. In fact, as a young child, my parents gave me a present at Christmas and said it was also a birthday present. (Neita)

A KPH patient says thanks
The Editor, Sir: I would like to 'big-up' the hard-working doctors, nurses and workers at the Kingston Public Hospital. Take a bow! You have shown me and other patients that you truly care about your patients.
Issue: The Church and gambling
THE EDITOR, Sir: I heard that Minister of Tourism Mr. Edmund Bartlett wants to bring casino gambling to Jamaica because it injects foreign exchange into the country. I understand that the Church is against the plan.
