A matter of Masters


We hear Bill has been accepted at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University for the term starting autumn, 2014. The John F. Kennedy School is a public policy and public administration institute, and one of Harvard’s graduate and professional schools which gives a two-years Masters degree. Bill is weighing his options – they say he may or may not take up his place at the Kennedy School. Daddy would rather that he went, and returned in time to begin campaigning for the next general elections. Bill’s own instinct may be to continue to study at the university of life in Pakistan so that he learns on the job and remains a hope for a modern, liberal and democratic country.

Worst-kept secret


It was always the former Chief Adjudicator’s ambition to make a political impact so that he could claim a space for himself, post retirement. It’s the country’s worst-kept secret that a political party has been registered by one of his ardent followers, with the gent himself pretending he has nothing to do with it. The plan goes something like this: options are being weighed on whether to join one of the existing political parties which is basically The Man of Steel’s group or The Great Khan’s horde. The former Adjudicator’s first choice is The Man of Steel’s group but insiders say he will lay down his one and only condition to do so – he wants to be made President, replacing the current incumbent. If The Man of Steel doesn’t buy into this, the former Adjudicator will think of activating the registered political party from which he’s presently at arms length.
