		Rex Murphy, the broadcaster and writer who moderates Canada’s only national open-line radio program, is sipping orange pop and taking a drag on a cigarette.
		Murphy sheds the truth of the matter that Western governments don’t want to admit: September 11 was truly the “bitter appetizer” of what is the main course for the rest of the world—poverty, famine, civil wars, communism, oppression and terrorists.
		Murphy also paints a shameful example with the poverty, the dislocation and the disorientation within aboriginal communities across the country as being among the greatest scandals in Canada.

	Rex Murphy -- Murphy's Law...Prepare to be Sentenced - International Connection Radio Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Murphy, who is said to have a passion for language and English literature, found himself on the airwaves in Newfoundland following his education, tussling with local politicians.
		Murphy also has a pschizophrenic alter-ego as the host of "Cross Country Check-up", a Sunday radio phone-in show where Rex seems acquiescent and meek,I reckon, because the live nature of the show does not allow him to script and rehearse his every utterance.
		I always have the feeling that Murphy is a hostage victim on this radio show and that his paymasters at the CBC have felt it necessary to make it appear that he is earning his keep, seeing as his only other output at the network is a four- minute television piece, once a week.

	June 1995 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rex was in fine form as he lambasted criticised and generally kicked and punched the entire world of fickle and shallow professional players and their ridiculously loyal fans.
		During the Rex diatribe I felt both enlightened and in some ways chastened as I came to realize that Rex was not only agreeing with many of my own complaints about sports but unfortunately was also criticising the likes of this columnist who persists in paying attention to the ridiculous world of overpaid prima donnas.
		So there you have it, Rex Murphy has come down and pronounced against all of us time wasters, fantasizers and general layabouts who are spending hour after hour, day after day, dream after dream watching our tarnished but effective heroes battling it out for the Stanley Cup and for that elusive World Series Championship.

		As our candidate was born in Carbonear we must ascribe his vigor to that town; however, there must be something of the Harbour Gracian in him; for in Murphy we have a man for whom the culture of the word is all.
		Fed on the metaphysicals and the moderns as a student at Memorial, Rex Murphy briefly sojourned at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar studying more at Blackwells than at the Bodleian, only to return to us and to an unsubmitted sally into the poetry of Thomas Carew.
		Murphy is unlikely to suffer such a fate for he never confuses vigor with venom.
