Frankly, anyone that beloved of the left in this country was/is suspect with no additional justification required for having that opinion. As you say, "Let's stipulate that Mandela did mend his ways, to the extent of forgiving his enemies and striving for unity in post-apartheid South Africa." Even so, I still cringe a bit when asked to participate in singing church choir compositions honoring his life and accomplishments.<br /><br />Thanks for the steer toward "Corpse in Armor". I ordered my "dead tree" copy moments ago.<br />Bob T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07154297944632565450noreply@blogger.com
