Sometimes you read an obituary and ask why have I not heard of this person?
Dr Renfrew Christie used University research to help the ANC to try to prevent Apartheid South Africa from getting the Bomb, including smuggling critical information into a confession the judge would read in court!

Kitty's so sick of the cold! But she has a plan to be away from it all.
Whilst streaming TV over the holidays she came across her dream job: The Voice of the Ship on a luxury cruise liner.
Join her on Saturday from 11AM for the Mystery Jukebox to learn more.
She might even solve a murder or two!
