The Pundit Speaks
Man clutters his mind with meaningless activities trying to ascribe significance to the mystery of life, to the irrationality of being. Man is the only species who registers a futile attempt to leave things behind, such that he can be remembered after he is so-called "gone." From poems to plaques, from monuments to manuscripts, from ideas to ideology, he struggles for remembrance. If he can fill the void of his existence with enough intellectual artifacts, he may not have to face the looming unknown. With certainty, life is uncertain. The Pundit Speaks is an ongoing work, stimulated by current events and scientific inquiry. It strives to view everyday occurrences through a sardonic and humorous prism. It deals with expansive subjects in the short space of a few pages, in an informative and comedic way. Part of this volume deals with the subject of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Howes' late mother was the victim of this dreaded disease and he sincerely hopes that his writings on this subject will help others deal with this ever so slow, chronic death sentence. His writings are thought-provoking, comedic, and entertaining. Your enjoyment is his sole target.

WITS: The 'Open' Years
In the period between the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and the enactment of university apartheid by the Nationalist Government in 1959, the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (Wits) developed as an ‘open university’, admitting students of all races. This, the second volume of the history of Wits by historian Bruce Murray, has as its central theme the process by which Wits became ‘open’, the compromises this process entailed, and the defence the University mounted to preserve its ‘open’ status in the face of the challenges posed by the Nationalist Government.
