one can probably ascertain the majority of world news by looking at G Captain headlines. ( I wish there was no inclination to look further) I remember the day when one only had to look at ‘headlines’ once per week or maybe every month. World news wasn’t a day to day or hour to hour thing. Gawd I miss that.
On the other hand, reading G Cap. reactions can be misleading as many, maybe a majority of deep sea mariners are mostly ambivalent to a ‘controversial’ view of world events.
