Tamsyn Lewis: Striving for Gold
After spending years taking the long, hard road, Tamsyn is now, finally, a world champion. Leaner, faster and more powerful than ever, the way she’s looking, her best is still in front of her.
The Hope of Judgment
To be able to see our world and life through the experiences of someone of a different culture and background is rare. It is a gift—but it can also be a jolt to our sensibilities and assumptions.
London Town
Whether it's the nursery rhyme which said "I've been to London to visit the Queen," or the Irish ballad "The Mountains of Morne" that begins, "Oh, Mary, this London is a wonderful sight," London has been and still is a tourist's mecca.
