Blessed Are the Meek
Description:... When receptionists in Perth, Western Australia in the late 1980s saw Jack May, they saw only an elderly courier with a twinkle in his eye and a friendly word for everyone - delivered in what to them must have been an almost unintelligible soft Geordie accent.They had no idea he had once been the youngest chief engineer in the history of one of the world's biggest oil companies, running the fleet's newest and biggest oil tanker.Those he met at the reception desks would have had little interest in his remarkable political philosophy, which if followed would end Middle Eastern conflict and check the unfettered excesses of capitalism.Nor would they know - how could they - that almost 20 years before one of the world's most eminent theoretical physicists put forward the radical notion that the speed of light may not be constant, Jack May put forward the same theory in a well researched, logical and erudite paper - to that same eminent theoretical physicist.And they would certainly never have believed, not in their wildest dreams, that the courier with a shock of grey and white hair, dropping off the parcels and documents, was once a pro-Arab terrorist, smuggled out of Palestine by the British Army after bombing the Jewish Press Agency in Jerusalem.Jack May was all of these things - a truly remarkable man whose life has passed without remark. That remarkable life has now been brought to light with the publication of his autobiography.
