A Paradise Under Threat: By Tomazinho Cardozo
27 Nov: Navhind Times. The impression that Goa is the most secure state of India is fast vanishing. Today, Goa is not behind other states in the country, which are known for their law and order problems. Goans are witness to all types of crimes in all fields of life. Besides murders, rapes, assaults, etc, use of drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, etc, are on the rise. We are not at all that backward in the art of corruption, too. Goa where are you heading too:-

High tide hits south Goa beaches 29 Nov: Times of India. An unexpected surge of the high tide powered by squally winds on Goa's coast caused damage as huge waves battered at least 34 canoes and motorized boats at Palolem beach in Canacona taluka apart from damaging some shacks on Sunday night and Monday morning…

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

iirc there used to be a good chippy on the Holloway Rd - pretty unique 'cos it was also a wet fish shop.

I am not entirely sure of this and will happily be corrected, but do they not allow the fairer sex the opportunity to train as pilots and in fact offer a female pilot when invited by the Americans to send someone to take part in a mission on the space shuttle?
