‘Under an English Heaven . •
UT El Paso registrar Don Paulson announced earlier this week that
enrollment figures were following much the same pattern as they did
last year, when just over 10,000 students registered for classes.
As of Friday, 9,561 had enrolled, compared to 9,780 at the same
time last year’s. These figures show a deficit of about 200 students so
far this fall, but Paulson said that he anticipates an active late
registration period to raise the totals abreast of last year’s final count.
The entire incident started in
1967 when the three islands of St.
Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla were
given their independence from
Great Britain. The three islands
were incorporated into an
Associated State under the rule of
a comic-opera dictator named
Bradshaw on St Kitts
The Anguillans had two
objections to this. First, they
didn’t want to be independent
from England. Second, they didn’t
want anything to do with a
government run by Bradshaw.
Especially after he had stated that
he would “turn that island into a
desert ”
This book is as entertaining as
any of Westlake’s novels. This fact
detracts nothing from the
historical accuracy and value of
this eminently readable book.
