News at Eleven: I am appalled and saddened by the anonymous smear campaign

against my former mentor Derek Walcott. Everyone has a right to face his or her accusers. That's why I sued Boston University. I wanted to discover if Professor Walcott was actually harassing me. At first, I thought he was joking. Anyone who knows him knows that it is his way to be sexual, to push the envelope of both decorum and good taste. I didn't really want to think that this man whom I placed so much trust in, and had so much affection for, would actually be bartering sex for favours.

from The Times: 'Derek Walcott is the greatest living poet'
