News Archive: January 2019 - July 2019  Hello Ken-Friends, like last time, you will find (12) articles marked "New" in the Reading Room. They are also linked out from the All Is True page. There will be many more. What with Google alerts and the like the Compendium has become more of an archive than a news source, but I hope it is no less interesting. As I watch various videos online I marvel at how much our world has changed... a big hello to all of us who - back when - were sending video cassettes with interviews with Ken to each other, programs mostly limited at the time to their host country. What luxury to watch Himself talking to interviewers all over the globe! I'll be back! (29 May, thanks Lyn, Jane, Lynne, Renie)  Dear keen Kenners, my intentions are good, my physical capabilities not quite as much. I am posting a short update and will do my best to get the tons of things I have set aside up soon. I am just going to point you to the Reading Room where you will find six new (to the Compendium) articles, marked "New". The ones relating to All Is True can also be found on the All Is True page, where you will also find links to the "All Is True" Gallery and "All Is True" Filming Gallery As I say every time: I will be back! (21 March, thanks Isabel, Lyn)  Greetings Branagh Bunch! Trying not to let too much time go by between updates. There is finally an All Is True page.
