Tuesday Talk 1. Every social gathering this past weekend was abuzz with talk about ‘dna’. There is an air of expectancy among some people that a big revelation is about to happen, and it all hinges on what the ‘dna’ query reveals. All is fair in war and politics, they say. 2. Sabina Park continues to be the great white elephant.

Jamaica has been unable to secure international cricket matches, and no one seems to be able to do anything about it. So maybe Sabina will be the great concert/church venue of the future instead of a premier cricket park.
