THE MURDER OF OLOF PALMER

The new Conservative party leader, Olof Palmer, had of course heard and read innumerable stories and jokes about himself because of his name. At the Conservative Party Congress there were many who did not want him to be appointed party leader because of his obstinate refusal to even change his first name. Among other things, the young conservatives thought that the very name Olof Palmer would harm the party. Unfortunately, only a small number of politicians had the required competence and of them the Swedish-American businessman, Olof Palmer, was considered the best.
