Abstract
In this report Trinidad and Tobago's Finance Minister Wendell Mottley makes a personal decision not to seek re-election. A.N.R. Robinson is recalled to lead the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR) and there are talks of an alliance between the NAR and the major opposition party, the United National Congress (UNC). British development agencies have launched a campaign to block proposals by the Overseas Development Agency (ODA) to cut bilateral aid. Hugh Crosskill reports on the implications for the Caribbean. American General Colin Powell comments that he is under a great deal of pressure to decide on whether or not to run as a Presidential candidate in the US. Sue MacGregor reports on the black/white divide in the US. Britain's ruling Conservative Party assemble to choose candidates for their general elections due next year. The chances of minority politicians on the Tory ticket are examined as the party leader John Major calls for greater ethnic representation. The former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman, who was exposed as a racist, has incurred the anger of some Bermuda residents just by being on the island. A British bachelor Ian Jackson pocketed 3.1 million pounds after hitting the lottery jackpot.
