It was published in 1966 and was set in the time of the dictator Pap Doc Duvalier, and his henchmen, the Tonton Macoutes. Very depressing. Apparently during Papa Doc&#8217;s rule (he was called Papa Doc because he was a doctor and first made his name by caring for the poor), which stretched from 1957 to 1971, the country suffered from a brain drain, from which it has never recovered.\u00a0 So Haiti&#8217;s chaos today can be attributed a little to this dictator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trevor Jackson, magazine editor<\/strong>, is meant to be reading (for his book group) Jonathan Kaplan&#8217;s award winning account of his life as a war surgeon, <em>The Dressing Station<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Dressing-Station-Surgeons-Odyssey\/dp\/0330480790\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266578749&amp;sr=8-1\">http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Dressing-Station-Surgeons-Odyssey\/dp\/0330480790\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266578749&amp;sr=8-1<\/a><br \/>\nHowever, as usual, he has been distracted by other things, in particular Glenn Paskin&#8217;s wonderful biography of one of the greatest pianists of all time, Vladimir Horowitz <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Horowitz-Biography-Vladimir-Glenn-Plaskin\/dp\/0688026567\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266578981&amp;sr=1-1\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Horowitz-Biography-Vladimir-Glenn-Plaskin\/dp\/0688026567\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266578981&amp;sr=1-1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He has also been keeping up with controversy over the Pope&#8217;s planned visit to the UK, and is increasingly outraged that British taxpayers might have to fork out an estimated \u00a320 million for his security <a href=\"http:\/\/www.secularism.org.uk\/government-says-it-will-fund-ele.html\">http:\/\/www.secularism.org.uk\/government-says-it-will-fund-ele.html<\/a>, particularly given his recent attacks on the Equality Bill <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldscotland.com\/comment\/ian-bell\/let-s-see-the-pope-s-agenda-for-what-is-it-interference-1.1003346\">http:\/\/www.heraldscotland.com\/comment\/ian-bell\/let-s-see-the-pope-s-agenda-for-what-is-it-interference-1.1003346<\/a> How many doctors or nurses would \u00a320m pay for?
