DIAMONDS

It never ceases to amaze me how each day brings its little unexpected surprises. You sit and read the newspaper expecting the trivial, and suddenly there is something that leaves you wide-eyed.

It has now been reported in the world press that, after much prospecting, Zimbabwe does indeed have sizeable reserves of diamonds.

Will Zimbabweans profit from them? I don't think so. My guess is that these gems have probably been found in the subsoil of the presidential palace grounds.

Who says diamonds are just a girl's best friends?

Congratulations, Robert!
