Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Sunday | July 18, 2004

Editorial - A legacy of civility
THE JOURNEY ends today. After two weeks of public mourning, the Most Hon. Hugh Lawson Shearer is being laid to rest in National Heroes Park. The tributes have been many, providing occasion for a return to civility, if only for a while.

Hugh Shearer, the legislator
HUGH SHEARER was elected to the House of Representatives in 1955, and it wasn't long before he was making his presence felt in the legislature. (Moxam)


The value of persistence
"Dear Dawn Ritch, Thanks for your article yesterday in the Gleaner (May 30, 2004). You have taken-up where Morris Cargill left off; If you were nearby, I would have to come and shake your hand. Very good, keep up the good work.... (Ritch)

HISTORY IS being created even as we speak, as the two political parties simultaneously seek to replace their leadership ­ one willingly, one perhaps less so. (Halsall)
