Goanet next meets in Goa: January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). Goanet founder Herman Carneiro will be there. See you there! ------------------------------
The title of the book of Leo Lawrence (That is how he spelt his name, not Lourenço. Why?) is *Nehru Seizes Goa* (not *invades* as Colaço mentions in his posting). It was published by Pageant Press, New York, 1963. I would like to know where does Leo Lawrence (any relation of Gilbert Lawrence) live today. He mentioned in the back cover of his book that he was then a Special Adviser to the Permanent Mission of Portugal to the United Nations, in New York. However, in the Petition presented to the United Nation'' 4th Committee in 1964 only appear the names of Leo Anthony de Sousa (from Karachi) and some others, but no Leo Lawrence. He seems to have served as liaison officer of the Portuguese Government in Goa with the foreign journalists who had been invited to cover the *invasion*.
