That should be an adventure. He
has just left office. I���ll let her know
you are coming.���
���Fair Lady,��� at a generous 144
feet, was dwarfed by the towering
fortifications of Grand Harbor
Valletta, singularly the most
impressive,
intact,
defensive
architecture of their kind in the
world. Docked nearby, as the
persistent celebratory Maltese
fireworks illuminated the sky,
I called Mrs. Mintoff from the
bridge of ���Fair Lady.��� Expecting
my call, she was enthusiastic and
charming, but with a bit of a droll
attitude towards the fireworks.
She arranged for us to meet her
husband at his new offices atop the
fortifications.
