Summary: Part A:Nelson Mandela is universally loved around the world due to the fact that he shared so much love and so much of himself with others. He forgave those that imprisoned him and persecuted in the name of the greater good, that is, peace. Zelda la Grange started as personal secretary to Mandela and grew into a friend for some twenty years. She served with him even in his retirement, if such it can be called. In the process she moved from a conservative, racist Boer farm girl to a sophisticated spokesperson for arguably the best-known and greatest political person in the world as her mindset was transformed. She tells her story in her memoir, Good Morning, Mr. Mandela.Part B:Although they did not know it themselves, when the Rolling Stones set out on their farewell tour in March 1971, it was the end of an era. They also did not know they would be performing for another forty years. For the Stones, nothing would ever be the same again. Robert Greenfield’s book, Ain’t it Time We Said Goodbye, is the story of innocence lost, especially for Jagger and Richards. Greenfield’s reveals his insights from his perspective as the only journalist allowed on this tour with them.
