“The boy is not interested in politics. That is
not in the offing at all; I am sure he doesn’t
even want to hear politics at all. You know it

newspapers, we didn’t know what was
happening. I reluctantly went into politics,

Representatives, and I remember I just
traveled and disappeared for months. After
seeing what my father had been through I
thought to myself that this is not for me” he
