	Guardian \| Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara
		Sailing into presidential retirement-cum-exile on a Fijian warship was probably the least likely curtain call the young Mara could have imagined as he drew to the end of his medicine degree at New Zealand's Otago University in 1945.
		Born in the eastern Lau islands, the son of the head of the Vuanirewa clan and paramount chief of the Lau archipelago, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba, Mara was inculcated from the cradle with the autocratic characteristics that were a feature of the Fijian ruling class.
		This perhaps explains why he so readily obeyed his great-uncle, Fiji's paramount chief Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, when ordered to forsake Otago for the dreaming spires of Oxford and a degree in history.
