I'll never forget interviewing Jimmy Carter and Desmond Tutu for The Voice of America at the same time. Two iconic figures of the 20th century. Carter spoke so softly, and was genuinely very pleasant. RIP #JimmyCarter #Cyprus

Big news here on #Cyprus is the snow! OK, it is a light flurry, but it never fails to steal the headlines. For the first time this year, I have switched the heating on. Brrr....

Bobby Henrey, the star of the British classic β€˜The Fallen Idol,’ wrote a beautiful, heartfelt, foreword to my new biography of Jack Hawkins. @CharlesinRome great piece for @Crux

Just awful to hear Howard Hughes has died. We became mates years ago when he was on Capital. We did many two-ways over the years. In fact, only last year, he gave a hour of airtime on Talk Radio to discuss one of my books. Lovely guy, always so generous. RIP Howie.
