As in all well-ordered research, any balanced, comprehensive, disinterested account of The Dispute needs to begin with the questions that go to the heart of the matter, first in the broad and then in the minutiae. Generally, distance is an indispensable aid to understanding. Irrelevancies stand out for what they are. Increasingly, pieces of the jigsaw fit into place.
As the ramifications in this case were of national significance, the onlooker begins to see a landscape of Tolstoyian dimensions. Mankind's willful ways leap off the page. Naked emperors abound. Guileless children see the passing pageant, perplexed.
Seen as a tapestry, it's tightly made, with sections intricately knotted, defying easy interpretation. In places it is illumined by small but beautiful shafts of light. Largely, it is a dark affair. It would not hang well on a respectable wall. Alongside "The Fall of Icarus", it is a shaby looking work. Gazing at it, pondering the significance of plots and sub-plots, is a necessary meditation. Political and corporate interests permeate the whole. The men in power look obsessed . . . certainly cunning and devious. . . . .SNAFU.
The nation, the country itself, appears as a chessboard, a roulette wheel, upon which the players seem intent upon gambling breathtakingly huge stakes.
Here endth the allegories. With concrete issues, reference the broad, what are the key questions that a researcher needs to look to as the framework of a thorough analysis is constructed?
For the detail, who has comprehensive notes, impartial or otherwise? Who will speak - on or off the record? How many memories in agreement are needed to establish acceptable levels of credibility? Among the hundreds of impassioned posts
on this website, which ones reveal the deepest, valid insights?
There is conflict, solidarity and betrayal, leavened occasionally with the humour in which the industry excels. It is a worthwhile subject for one happy - and determined enough - to gather all possible threads and settle to the task.
A title is wanting. Good ones usually spring out of the blue.
Cassandra Pybus, for her exhaustive study of the Sydney Sparkes Orr case, came up with "Gross Moral Turpitude". (After all, clever, emotive titles sell books - ones, though, that in the main end up on shelves, forever unread.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOPE: Leaders must create a sense of hope, or both they and their asperations are lost. Without hope there's nowhere for leaders to lead or followers to follow.
HUMANITY: Leaders should never forget they're human. The humanity of leaders is often revealed in how they treat people from whom they cannot benefit.
HUMILITY: Humility is like humanity, in that it is rooted in accurate self-perception. Good leaders realise that no conquest is theirs alone.
HUMOUR: Effective leaders have a good sense of humour, even in the face of disaster, and they are willing to laugh at their own foibles. Humour is a good indicator of mental health and an asset to any workplace.

pakeha-boy for whatever you may or may not think about our friend fantomes point of view, if he is who I think he is, he is most certainly the full can and some.
Now if you want to talk about Watties pass off as baked beans
that's another subject altogether.

fantome, I don't know which side you're from, and don't care, but I'm sure nobody wants to hear "How we was done" Chapter 5127.
It's not unlike an American war movie...how we won the war episode 125,651

This is an ex parrot, it has expired, it is no more.
The best thing you can do with '89 is accept that it happened and live with it as there is no way in hell youwill do anything but bring another slanging match into existance.
If you need information to produce a tome related to that time, hang around airports and wear a mouthguard.
