Nixon, now Packer
NZPA London Kerry Packer will defend his “cricket revolution" at the same forum where Richard Nixon recently spoke, the Oxford Union, it was reported in London yesterday. Packer, who was said to have dismissed dozens of requests for television interviews, will speak at the Union on June 6, the 35th anniversary of D-Day, said the gossip columnist, Nigel Dempster, in the Daily Mail yesterday. Dempster gave a sample of “Packer’s antipodean rhetoric” which went: “My politics? none. I just happen to think that Genghis Khan was bloody efficient.”
