Mr Muldoon told a lunchtime news conference that he was concerned about security at the Commonwealth conference at Lusaka in August, and would be discussing it with the Secretary-General, Mr Ramphal, in London next month. “It’s not so much because of me,” he said later. “I’m worried about the Queen. There’s more than one of me. but there’s only one of her” . . . one of the problems was the presence of surface-to-air missiles in the area.—News. Sir Walter Raleigh, whose renowned Example all should study, Flung his rich Cloak upon the Ground, The Way being wet and muddy, Before his Queen, just to avert A Spattering of disloyal Dirt. A Courtier too, at Heart, our Rob Cares for the Safety of our Queen — How will Security do its Job In Africa, the Scene Of Commonwealth Confabulations? He's WORRIED he’ll have Consultations. With courtly Gallantry and Grace — •There’s more than One of Me’ — He scorns whatever Risk they face, No recreant Knight, not He! He flings his Cloak — nay, All he’s got — ‘I am expendable, She’s not’. One wonders, did Sir Walter say. ‘There's more than One rich Cloak, It was an old One .anyway? Security’s no Joke — At Vogel House, what’s all this Flurry, Teaching the Palace how to worry? ‘lt’s not so much because of Me’, This Worry that he’s in. Did gracious Sovereign ever see So brave a Paladin? Shall History hand his Title down, Of Privy Worrier to the Crown?
