PNP presidential election - Not so solid after all!
PORTIA SIMPSON Miller's 237 votes triumph on February 25 in the People's National Party (PNP) presidential election was a cruel blow to Dr. Peter Phillips ... - Cedric Wilson


Portia had the last laugh
THE TRIUMPH of Mrs. Portia Simpson Miller is the triumph of quality over the rough house and the slipshod. It is a light in the ignorance of our times. - Dawn Ritch


Woman time?
