Following  talks at  a  ministerial  level,  a  high flyer  returned  to his  office  displaying the  Colgate ring  of confidence   and  told    adoring  staff   that  his   job is  safe.  Attacks  against   him , he  said, were  due to  a  personal  vendetta  by  a certain person.  To show how   confident  he   was  of  remaining  at  the top  of  the  heap, he then  launched  a  witchhunt   to try  and  find   the source of  suspected  leaks   to  the  dreaded  media.
