UNITED STATES—Readers may think I'm a broken record, the way I go on about

IRELAND—It's fun time again! "Green Hats, Green Beer, Green Gills" time! But for me, St. Patrick's Day is also always a time to seriously contemplate the saint. I suppose such ideas are a "hard sell.”

UNITED STATES—I have been on holiday for awhile and how the world has changed! "George Bush doesn't care about Black people!" Or anyone that isn't rich.

IRELAND—St. Patrick’s Day is big in the
