Walking home from the supermarket I pass a high school. In front is a bit of graffiti - two large words printed in English. NATIONALISM and RACISM. No suggestion of pro or con.
Only in Cyprus. For the past month a Cypriot criminal called Kitas, better known by his nickname Al Capone, had been on the loose after escaping from a medical clinic. Kitas, who had been jailed for life in 194 for the rape and murder of two women, was recaptured only Monday, after endless scandal in the press, police searches, etc. Now tonight the clincher - two senior policemen are accused of being accomplices in the escape. And we´ve been wondering why police are so reluctant to ticket the many Cypriots who park illegally or use Hollywood mufflers.
