The case for the publication of excerpts from Andy’s journalism is strong. For one thing, his English is admirable; it is a model for students of the language and for aspiring journalists. There is the absence of verbosity, an emphasis on clarity and the use of West Indian terms when appropriate. Secondly, his journalism lifts us up from the purely local to the larger West Indian, pan-Caribbean canvas.
Over the decades since 1972 his information and analyses have continuously informed policy-making at the highest levels in our nation. His analysis of events, over a long period has come to be accepted as reliable and public-interest motivated. These journalistic memoirs should now be preserved.
