Abstract

Contrary to statements made by the Grenada Co-operative Nutmeg Association, the agreement has been breached. Pat Hagan, editor of Commodity Week confirmed that Indonesia is selling nutmeg at reduced prices. Democratic Congressman, Frank Guarini commented favourably on Prime Minister, Michael Manley's trip to the United States. In Britain, a group calling itself the Black Liberation Front is calling on the resignation of Chief Constable, Geoffrey Dear. Members of the black community are not convinced. Simon Hinds of the Voice Newspaper noted that circumstantial evidence points to a white group to discredit the black community and acting as political foot soldiers. The Canadian enquiry into drug use by amateur athletes continues with the testimony of Tony Issajenko, husband of Angela Taylor-Issajenko.
