On second thoughts, Rector Peter-Paul Verbeek does not want UvA to use the word ā€˜genocide’ after all. ā€˜It would be presumptuous of me to think that I could establish as a rector from my little office that a genocide is taking place.’ folia.nl/en/actueel/166…

Fishing as the ultimate form of relaxation? Perhaps for some, but for Vis TV presenter Marco Kraal (62), it is a serious matter. The UvA alumnus talks about his student days in Amsterdam, camera-shy fish and catching zander in the IJ. folia.nl/en/actueel/166…
