Shakespeare Redux

About me

Gender	Male
Introduction	A journalist for over four decades, and a lover of Shakespeare, I have always been struck by how the Bard's great verses and tragedies can, with a little tweaking, be shown to prefigure the platitudes and farce of the 43rd president of the United States of America. For nearly 42 years I worked for Reuters, being based in posts as disparate as France and Cuba, Israel and Brazil. Since then I have been working on short-term assignments for the United Nations News Centre and other international institutions, using the rest of the time to continue gadding about the globe.
