C'était pendant les « Troubles » et les preuves de la lutte sectaire étaient partout, même le long de cette magnifique côte, qui est complétée par le chemin du Géant, l'une des grandes attractions touristiques d'Irlande du Nord. Ma femme, Linda Gasparello, et moi-même nous souvenons des amères divisions entre protestants et catholiques lorsque nous avons été arrêtés par des soldats britanniques à un poste de contrôle routier. Ils ont été polis et ont vérifié nos papiers.

Era durante “Los Problemas” y las pruebas de la lucha sectaria estaban por todas partes, incluso a lo largo de esa hermosa costa, completa como está con la Calzada del Gigante, una de las grandes atracciones turísticas de Irlanda del Norte. Mi esposa, Linda Gasparello, y yo recordamos las amargas divisiones entre protestantes y católicos cuando nos detuvieron unos soldados británicos en un control de carretera. Fueron educados y revisaron nuestros papeles.

Anyone wondering about a career as a U.S. senator might want to study the life and times of Sen. J. Bennett Johnston (D-La.), who died March 25 at the age of 92. To me, he embodied the best of the Senate that was. Johnston was both a patriotic American and a loyalist to the state that sent him to Congress. He also was bipartisan, curious and totally on top of his subject. His legislative milestones endure, from natural gas and oil deregulation to the electricity and environmental structure of today.

October 1989 found me in a small hotel, the Londonderry Arms, on the Antrim  Coast of Northern Ireland. It was during “The Troubles” and evidence of  the sectarian strife was everywhere, even along that beautiful  shoreline, complete as it is with the Giant’s Causeway, one of Northern  Ireland’s big tourist attractions. My wife, Linda Gasparello, and I were reminded of the bitter divisions  between Protestants and Catholics when we were stopped by British  soldiers at a roadblock.
