Abstract
Michael Mates, Conservative MP and Chairman of the Government Select Committee on Defence explains the need for a study on attitudes of ethnic minorities toward the Armed Forces. With the impending decrease in recruits within the age group eighteen to twenty four, attempts are being made at proportional representation targeting black and brown men. In trade, the first day of negotiations of the International Coffee Organization does not achieve much in London, with key players, Brazil, Colombia and Central American States yet to arrive. Prince Charles, Prince of Wales arrived in St. Lucia on a three day official visit which coincided with the island’s tenth anniversary of independence. In sports, Gio Lippens, a correspondent from Holland speaks on how he tracks down the elusive Ben Johnson at his home in Canada. Interviews are held with athletes, Linford Christie, Colin Jackson and Michael Rosswess at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Holland. On the Caribbean connection, John Regis takes a second in the two hundred meters at the games.
