Dear Editor,
Mr Anil Mohabir Nandlall evades my request (‘Not the rule of law’ SN, March 22) for him to state his opinion as to whether Guyana observes Lord Bingham’s eight sub-rules of the rule of law and instead immodestly invites me to examine his legal career: (‘Not a response to letter on mischief caused by prescriptive title’ SN, March 25).
Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
I have just read that the incumbent ruling party in Canada, under Prime Minister Stephen Harper has “fallen after a no confidence vote passed in the country’s parliament,” and two observations came immediately to my mind.
