Reporter is an account of John McBeth's 50-year journey through Asia, more than half of that time as a correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review, the venerable magazine long regarded as the region's English-language Bible on political and economic affairs. While necessarily a memoir, the book is more a reflection of the lives of a small group of foreign journalists who came to Asia on a wing and a prayer - and in McBeth's case by ship - and stayed on as fascinated witnesses to a region going through turbulent times and historic change. Part-history, part-analysis, part story-telling and, in a smaller way, part-commentary on the salad days of print journalism and its steady decline under the onslaught of television and the Internet, Reporter introduces us to a diverse cast of journalists, diplomats, officials, politicians and generals McBeth meets and befriends along the way. New in paperback to make 50 years reporting in Asia, the original book has been complemented with a new introduction and a new chapter "The Defining Years" which bring McBeth's story up to date.

HISTORICAL EPOCHS. IT is only necessary to draw attention to a few of the more eminent pagan monarchs of the Milesian race, and note one or two epochs in the history of the country which in some degree are connected with the introduction of Christianity. Almost contemporaneously with the founding of the Milesian monarchy, the Picts settled in North Britain. The reign of Ollamh Fodhla is considered one of the chief epochs in Irish annals. He is said to have instituted at Tara?which at a later age became the capital of Ireland?a triennial convention of princes, Druids, and chiefs, at which laws were made, and the national records kept by the bards were corrected and registered. The book in which they were said to be registered was known in later times as The Psalter of Tara, to which Bishop Cormac's Psalter of Cashel was indebted for much of its contents. Laws were also made by which trades and professions became hereditary in families, and special coats of arms were granted to the most distinguished chiefs as a reward of merit and an incentive to valour. The only device hitherto borne on the Milesian banner was a dead serpent, and the rod of Moses, which their Gadelian ancestors had adopted in Egypt. Queen Macha of the Golden Hair and her husband Kimbay, King of Ulster, built the famous rath and palace of Emania, about 300 years before the Christian era. They were situated about a mile and a half from Armagh,1 and their erection is considered by some writers as the earliest authentic event in our national history. The large mound and enclosures cover about eleven acres. It is now called Navan 2 Fort, a name in which is still preserved its original designation. This ancient palace?which was destroyed about the middle of the fourth century?was the chief res...
