 The C.L.R. James Institute: Texts: Conversation with Anna Grimshaw
Now, Farrukh Dhondy was close to James, and James was extremely fond of Farrukh because he had graduated in literature and his knowledge of English literature was very extensive.
Farrukh took me to meet James in early 1983; at that time Jim Murray was working as his assistant, and James was very keen for me to help him write or finish his autobiography.
I don’t think that James ever backed a one-party regime, and he saw the entire period of independence in Africa to be one of instability, because this problem had not been solved, because fundamentally a new society has to be formed.

It never takes long for Kent to warm to his subject and then he is off to the races; painting a picture of this remedy or that state.
For the ardent Kent fan, Klaus-Henning Gypser's compilation of Kent's Minor Writings on Homeopathy is a boon to homeopathic literature.
Similarly it does not contain the editorial from The Homeopathician in which Kent supposedly discussed prescribing upon pathology, since the editorial in question did not appear under Kent's name, and was probably written by co-editor Julia Loos.
