For the first time a sensation pierced the numbness and it caused
J o e ' s body to jerk and send a message to his brain that created the
desire to s h o u t , ' Do n't call me t h a t , because I ' m not a s i r . I
never was and never shall be ; y o u ' v e left the sir in the grave . ' '
Are you all right ? ' ' Yes , yes . ' The words were clipped . ' You
said y o u ' d be leaving for Newcastle ? ' " W e ' d like to make it before
dark . With no lighting , the roads can be rather treacherous , you
understand , and the weather is seeming to worsen ( d ) . ' ' Yes . '
There was a long pause before Joe said , ' I want to see you about
… about business . ' ' Yes , yes , anytime . ' ' Tomorrow ? ' Mr
B e e c h a m ' s eyebrows moved up slightly, and he said , ' Y e s , if you
wish , tomorrow . Say , eleven o'clock ? ' ' Very w e l l . ' J o e ' s reply
was curt and Mr Beecham looked at this young man who , when he
had last seen him just a few months ago , had appeared to him to
be a schoolboy , immature for his age : but sitting before him now
was a young man with no sign of immaturity on his countenance ,
for he seemed to have aged overnight, as it were .

Pursuant to the w a r r a n t , an intercept was placed on Mr. C o x ' s
telephone in or about August 1983 and I saw the products of the
intercept in the form of transcripts of recorded telephone
conversations . As Mr. Cox lived in Wales there was a fair amount of
telephone communication between him and C.N.D. headquarters .
He would routinely be in contact with the office and with , for
example , Bruce Kent and Joan Ruddock . Accordingly , without
intercepting their telephone communications we obtained a fair
amount of information about their attitudes on quite a wide range of
topics that were concerning C.N.D. at the time . As to Mr. Cox
himself, we obtained very little information that we did not already
have , although perhaps a bit more detailed . My own assessment
before we had the check would have been that he worked within
C.N.D. because he was a committed C.N.D. member rather than
working in C.N.D. in order to further the interests of the Communist
Party . Certainly nothing that I recall seeing as a result of the
intercept ever contradicted that a s s e s s m e n t .

The proposed increases for 1992/93 do n't quite meet that
criteria , although the AOC charges increase of 4.3 per cent is very
close … I a m not such an optimist as to imagine that we are
always going to agree with you about the type of regulation , or its
costs , but I do want to emphasise that we are determined always to
try to talk through contentious issues with you and to ensure that
there is real dialogue . ' An associated issue which is concerning UK
operators is the question , oft raised in the past but still showing no
sign of solution , of mutual recognition of aircraft certification
standards in the Single European M a r k e t . European Commission
spokesman Chris North says that the intention of legislation is for
aircraft to be transferred between the civil aircraft registers of EC
states without additional work , but that this will apply only to new
aircraft, type-certificated under JARs . It could be twenty or thirty
years , perhaps more , before all new aircraft meet those
requirements and non-JAA certificated aircraft have been retired .

Sir Charles Frank came to the Department of Physics in 1946 and
worked there until his retirement in 1976 . Most of the important
Physics that has been done in the laboratory during that time has
been profoundly influenced by Sir Charles . Indeed , he has
continued to play an active role in Bristol Physics since his formal
retirement. His work can be summarised by an expression which he
himself used in a retirement speech in 1976 : ' Physics is not just
concerning the nature of things but concerning the
interconnectedness of all the natures of things ' . His contribution to
Physics has spanned a huge range of disciplines from muoncatalysed
nuclear fusion ( which is now an area of flourishing
research directly initiated by one of Sir Charles ' short papers for
Nature in 1947 ) to defects in solids , liquid crystals , quasi crystals
and polymer crystallisation . Some of Sir Charles ' ideas relate to
19th-century physics such as his very recent work on the vectorial
description of the rational relationships between neighbouring crystal
grains .

Take this case , for example . One afternoon while I was in
the U S A ( a ) , I received four obscene telephone calls . I was
alone in the house and extremely frightened . When I called
the police , they instructed me to write down everything the
caller had said . I did n't want to . I just wanted to forget it had
ever happened . But I forced myself to write it all down and ,
as I wrote i t , it began to lose its power over me . I was
containing the threats in written words : I was taking control .
I kept the piece of paper and , after I returned home and
thought more about the episode , I transformed it into a poem
. It was important to me not to be silenced by the fear the
anonymous caller invoked . After I ' d finished the poem I felt
triumphant that I ' d broken my fear-silence . I also thought I ' d
written a better poem because I ' d struggled with the v o i c e ,
forced myself to hear it again in my mind and to reply to i t .
This dialogue went into the poem . T h e voice of the place If

What must it be like for Joshua ? They had never been parted

could he not be far more upset than he would admit at the
thought of the gap it would leave in his life and the prospect of
probably never seeing his father again ? Bertha Cohen wished
she could believe that that was the explanation , but in her heart
she knew it was n't. Her instinct told her that it was something
far more worrying . And she was n't (tense) depending only on
her instinct ~ yesterday he had come home too late to go to the
Sabbath commencement service and looking very tired . And all
he would say was that he had been delayed . That had never
happened before . What could have delayed him ? Business ? No

the doctor ? She was afraid to consider such a possibility .

Almost as soon as the Japanese surrendered in August 1945
(a) these British hopes turned to doubts . T h e Truman
Administration had already been forced by Congress to end
Lend-Lease ; many of the joint boards set up to co-ordinate the
Anglo-American war effort were summarily dismantled ; and ,
although the Combined Policy Committee and the Combined
Development Trust survived , the flow of technical information ,
on which Britain was depending to set up her own atomic
establishments , began to dry up . Attlee flew to Washington in
November 1945 with two purposes in mind : to agree a joint
Anglo-American approach in the United Nations on the
international control of atomic weapons ; and to update the
1943 Quebec A g r e e m e n t . He was successful in the f o r m e r ,
and he thought that he had laid the foundations for the latter.

DIRECTIONS You come to learn to inhibit and to direct your
activity . You learn , first, to inhibit the habitual reaction to
certain classes of s t i m u l i , and , second , to direct yourself
consciously in such a way as to affect certain muscular pulls ,
which processes bring about a new reaction to these stimuli .
F.M . Alexander During his years of experimentation , (a)
Alexander was led to a long consideration of the whole question
of direction . He asked h i m s e l f , ' What is the direction upon
which I have been depending ? ' , and realized that he had
been relying on a sense of what seemed ' natural' and ' right
1
to govern his actions . Alexander's research had proved these
sensory feelings to be unreliable guides and he therefore
sought to formulate instructions or orders to himself to replace
them . To give directions is to project messages from the brain
to the b o d y ' s mechanisms and conduct the energy necessary
for the use of these mechanisms .

presently they were planning to grow at 4 per c e n t , and
soon(d) they were promising to grow at 4 per c e n t . This is
the other way : you fix the expenditure first, and you hope
afterwards ; and if it does n't come off ( which it is unlikely

When the first parade passed off without serious incident
( but with a massive police presence ) , the Portadown
Orangemen reaffirmed their determination to go through the
Tunnel on the Twelfth . At this p o i n t , the Orange leadership
began to retreat, suggesting that they had made their point
with the church parade and calling on the Portadown
loyalists not to break the law . While Martin Smvth was
tryina to persuade the march oraanizers to relent (a), Ian
Paisley was promising his s u p p o r t . Although committed to
the Independent Orange O r d e r ' s rally in Ballycastle , he
announced that he would begin the Twelfth by visiting
Portadown to add his support to the planned march . The
marchers did not walk through the Tunnel . The massive
RUC presence prevented them , but over that weekend fiftythree
police officers and at least nineteen civilians were
injured in serious rioting which wrecked shops in the town
centre . At least forty-eight loyalists were arrested , two of

In a 1981 r e p o r t , the committee noted that the use of
historic costs had made the resulting figures ' highly
misleading as a guide to past investment decisions and
entirely useless for appraising future ones ' . When the Board
finally shifted from historic to current cost accounting in the
same y e a r , this had dramatic effect on the comparative
costs . From being marginally more expensive than nuclear
p o w e r , coal suddenly became markedly c h e a p e r . By that
time (a), h o w e v e r , the new generation of A G R stations was
promising to herald yet another new dawn of plummeting
nuclear costs . Whilst this use of ' creative ' accountancy
may have helped to avoid the harsh reality of nuclear power
's burdensome construction charges , there have also been
major problems in the area of running costs . T o start with ,
some of the power stations have significantly failed to

He needs to persuade foreigners that it is safe for them
to lend the best part of £1000 million a week to the Treasury
; and he needs to persuade Britons that it is safe for them to
start spending their money again . He starts with the
disadvantage of having been wrong in the p a s t . A year ago
he promised his creditors that the pound sterling would
never be devalued , and six months ago he had to break his
word to them . A year aao (a) he was promisinq economic
growth in the U K , which should by now have been
accelerating to three per cent per year b u t , of course , it
never happened . This year the Chancellor has been insisting
that the pound can not be allowed to go any l o w e r , because
of the dangers of inflation ; and he has allowed the Bank of
England to give a strong endorsement of his a r g u m e n t .

raise interest rates if there were a prolonged run on the

Much paper passed between the BEA and the Ministry ,
with the BEA agreeing to these limits for presentational
purposes . Yet in reality neither they nor the manufacturers
took the limits seriously , and Central Authority engineers
deliberately ignored the agreed commissioning limits . The
result ~ a rather higher rate of completion of power stations
and higher spending four or five years later in the mid-1950s
~ was welcomed by the Electricity Division , but it annoyed
the Treasury and caused political embarrassment for the
Government ( which had been (tense) promisinq restraint
in the public s e c t o r ) . The desire of politicians to control
annual outcomes in this way was unrealistic when applied to
a policy in which the industry's own long-term objectives (
in this case overcoming the capacity backlog ) were in
conflict. Physical limits after 1953 were progressively less
effective ( and in most other areas not even formally
retained ) , but the Government hoped that the new financial
disciplines would have some effect in curbing the industry's
investment demand .

E d w a r d ' s intervention had at least saved Montfort's

H o w e v e r , they are not PostScript typefaces and the
quality is sometimes a little less than you have grown used
to on the laser printer. Some suppliers are beginning to
develop additional faces but the obvious way forward is to
create a PostScript film recorder. Agfa have done just this
with a genuine Adobe PostScript RIP for their Matrix range
although , at £12,000 , i t ' s not a cheap upgrade . Montage
and Mirus have both been (tense) promisinq their versions
of PostScript for many months and there is even a version of
Freedom of the Press , a software PostScript interpreter,
that will drive Matrix and Montage film recorders . Eventually
the price of such devices will fall and PostScript recorders
will become the norm - just as they have with typesetting .

No longer can there be a neat and tidy debate in the
pages of august journals such as this as to the benefits , or
otherwise , of the new product. This time it has all gone
public . What is even worse is that desktop publishing
delivers to the mass market at a ridiculously low price the
technology that traditional electronic publishing system
suppliers have been promisinq us for years(d)~the ability
to mix text and graphics freely on a page . Just the fact that
this can be achieved at less than £10,000 for a complete
system is rather likely to upset anyone who has invested
hundreds of thousands in ' Third Wave ' systems and
discovers t h a t , for a tenth the cost they could actually
achieve rather more . Indeed , much of the backlash against
desktop publishing has come from these quarters rather than
being based on serious evaluation of the technology and its
strengths and weaknesses .

your ease and gives you the time to think through your
current life direction and emphasis . Despite the congenial
air of unhurried calm you are more than usually assertive
and ambitious now . Where do you get all your energy from
? When other sunsigner's get up and go has got up and
gone you 're still going strong , so take pity on a pooped pal
or po-fagged partner and ease up a little Tuesday . Knuckle
down to any jobs v o u ' v e been (tense) promising all and
sundry to do , but have secretly been avoiding like the
plague . You have a self-disciplined and energetic approach
to life now that should help you get even the most arduous
and onerous tasks done . A personal problem you thought
would be a bed of nails and nothing but a whole heap of
hassles and troubles will actually be your big chance to show
off your brilliant brain , sensitive nature and warm hearted
generosity.

Wigan were dismayed at his condition when he came
b a c k , and there was a half-hearted threat from Central Park
to demand financial compensation from the Sydney club . He
had a successful hernia operation but was a regular visitor to
Harley Street as additional deep-seated groin trouble failed
to respond to t r e a t m e n t . By N o v e m b e r ( a ) , Wiaan were
promising to scour the world for a cure , while Hanley in
his enforced idleness was reported to be depressed and
frustrated . Wigan have not done at all badly without him
but his return , to loose forward , could not be more timely .
Goodway has been playing with consistent brilliance there
this season , scoring 18 tries , but he will now be out for a
month , and Hanley is no stranger to the position after
spending earlier periods of his career mostly at centre or
stand-off.

doing , as they seemed prepared to stay all night. They did

home late . It was only when the bottles of wine had been
firmly put away and the last glass drained that they got the
message . ( Charles also got the message that he was n't
going to get the quick slurp of wine at the end of the

Etiquette had demanded that none of the cast should leave
until the last of their guests had g o n e , b u t , as soon as the
final raincoat disappeared round the door of the theatre b a r ,
the entire company leapt for their belongings to make a

Before you start trying to watch home movies on your PC
, remember that although Microsoft is kind enough to include
a very basic multi media player and recorder ( both
illustrated ) as part of the standard Windows desktop , in
order to go some way towards true multi media you need a
few more things : a windows multi media extension , a C D ROM
drive , a sound card and probably a new m o n i t o r , not
to mention that faster machine v o u ' v e been (tense)
promising yourself . Whilst this little lot may cost you a
p a c k e t , your PC will become the all singing all dancing box
the salesman claimed it would be . Multi media first arrived
with us ( on the PC ) when Microsoft released windows 3.0 .
It was heralded by more than one hack as being just another
g a d g e t . Whilst it is true to say that it might have started off
that way ( call me a sceptic if you w i l l ) , it has now found
itself a major market position .

homecomings . It deserves to retain its dignity and to
escape trivialisation . Visiting a large London practice
shortly after the end of the 1980-88 Gulf W a r , I was
surprised to find the Middle East rather than Europe the
focus of attention . W a s there confidence , I asked , about

According to IBM Corp , which is busy trying to salvage

mainframe as the solution to ' large business problems , '
all in the name of trying to justify w h y people should still
be interested in what IBM has to o f f e r . The company is
expecting another double-digit drop in mainframe sales
again this y e a r . IBM is promising to come up with a costefficient
CMOS microprocessor-based 390 in the second
half of the y e a r . It says i t ' s already built a prototype . It
paints a picture of a moderately parallel MVS-run 390 with
50 to 100 processors for complex query-based applications
. Next y e a r , it says , it will have a transaction processing
offering . The chip , for cost efficiencies , would come off
the same line as the RS/6000 chips but the silicon would be
impressed with the 390 instruction s e t .

Work on developing the PowerPC version of IBM C o r p ' s
Rios RISC is progressing faster than anyone , including
partners in the venture IBM , Apple Computer Inc and
Motorola Inc believed possible , and chips should be ready
before the end of the year with the possibility of machines
being announced very late this y e a r , Electronic News
reports . The key to completing the design was to add the
input-output interface of Motorola's 88110 RISC to the
IBM chip , something that turned out to be easier than
anticipated . IBM is also promising a new release of AIX
for later this year that will enable network administrators to
update client computers from an RS/6000 s e r v e r , making
PowerPC personal computers running AIX more attractive
to large users . And the deal between Apple Computer Inc
and Echo Logic Inc on the latter's application translation
technology should make a raft of Mac applications available
for the new machines .

Tough-nut The Apple deal reportedly came about because
Echo used the Mac , theoretically the toughest nut to crack
, as its proof of concept and showed the system to Apple
last y e a r , translating Macintosh programs to several
unidentified RISC platforms . Burn ham described Flash Port
as a b e e f y , sophisticated and complex piece of software
suitable for use by a senior engineer. H o w e v e r , Echo is
promising to cut ports to a matter of days , or at worst
w e e k s , lopping off what could be years of development
time in moving from one architecture to a n o t h e r . T h e time
saved could be spent adding features like voice recognition
that are only possible on a more advanced platform such
as PowerPC . Echo claims to circumvent the problem of
trespassing on A p p l e ' s jealously guarded ToolBox by not
needing it anywhere but on the target machine , which in
this case Apple will provide .

The development of colour desktop publishing is a
classic example of this in action . Because the computers
on which most desktop publishing software runs are
capable of displaying colour it seems logical to the software
developer that they should introduce colour into their
desktop publishing programs . Whilst they can probably get
away with spot colour separations , and indeed many of
them produce excellent spot separated material, the world
now seems to expect that process colour separation will
follow just as easily . Some vendors are promising that
they will provide it on their own , others such as Quark are
linking to specific vendors ( Scitex in this case ) while still
others such as Aldus are merely providing an open
interface to anyone who cares to take their files on board .
Of all the approaches the latter is likely to succeed the best
as they are leaving all the clever stuff to those in the know
. Colour publishing on the desktop is possible and can be
demonstrated .

W e are now being told by this arrogant and
incompetent lot that having given us record unemployment
, bankruptcies , house repossession , liquidations , factory
closures etc , that they are the only ones fit to govern
when surely that record should make them hang their
heads in shame . They are now indulging in distortion and
scaremongering , but they are unable to hide the record of
the last 13 years that has caused so much misery to so
many people . The Liberal Democrats are promising what
they would do , but people should not be fooled into voting
for them . The only way to remove this Government is to
give a decisive vote for the Labour Party to ensure they
form the next government and undo as soon as possible

Lease firms aim to cut company car servicing costs
T R E N D S Nearly a quarter of UK motorists now do a
significant proportion of their own servicing . An RAC
survey also found that over 60 per cent of motorists are
thinking of buying a used c a r , instead of a new one , in
order to save money . One in 10 motorists would actually
consider selling their car to save money . And not
surprisingly , the motorists hardest hit by recession are
those living in London and the south-east. Peugeot is
promising overnight delivery of parts or the customer
gets them free of charge . The scheme applies to Peugeots
up to five years old and there is no limit on c o s t , ' as long
as it is a part that keeps the vehicle off the road ' . Peugeot
claims it has always provided quick turnaround on repair
parts : ' W e feel that it is appropriate to put our money
where our mouth is . '

The party's myopic concentration on the kind of
agricultural organizations it wished to nurture for the future
is also shown in the frequent reports for 1922 on the fragile
co-operative network . These efforts proved to be in vain
for the most p a r t . By the middle of 1924(a) the Agitprop

The rest of this chapter relies extensively upon the
research the writer undertook in 1986 and 87 . The purpose
of the writer's research ( T w e d d e l l , 1988 ) was to examine
practices in arts INSET for serving teachers at a time when
the g o v e r n m e n t ' s intention to develop a coherent
programme of INSET through GRIST was being initiated ( at
Easter) 1987 and to find out how the arts were faring in an
educational climate which many observers were(tense)
declaring inimical to the arts . It sought to explore the
provision of professional development to serving arts
teachers offered by a group of educators carrying out
varying staff development activities within one region of
England and Wales . Although employed by various
institutions , these staff were linked through the
collaboration which recent national developments in INSET
have begun to enforce . The research was predominantly
concerned with the opinions and actions of LEA central staff
, administrators , advisers and what have been called '
professional development teachers ' .

to whether banking and securities firms should be allowed
to include risk investments ( i e shares in other companies )
, rather than merely cash deposits , when they were(tense)
declaring the capital on which their financial integrity was
assessed for authorization purposes . Whereas this practice
was widespread in the U K , it was banned in most other EC
member states ; UK observers noted that its abolition in the
UK would force UK institutions to double their cash holdings
, a factor which they said would raise costs and which could
thus jeopardize the dominant position of the London market
in European equity trading ( see also p. 36494 ) . The
European Commission had already given ground to the UK
in November 1989 , by modifying its insistence that
securities businesses should hold capital equivalent to 20
per cent of outstanding exposure , demanding instead a
level of 8 per c e n t .

powerless to a c t . ' It is almost unbelievable , ' Brady says
. ' W e are declaring people homeless and then they are
having to join a queue because we ca n't do anything for
them , there is such a backlog . ' There are now 100
families in the town living in bed and breakfast hotels and
more than 60 placed in hostels the situation is so bad that
the council has been unable to move anyone off its

An aide to President Cesar Gaviria , speaking on
condition of anonymity , confirmed to Reuters the
government was treating the existence of the new
paramilitary group as genuine . Escobar announced last
month that he was declaring war on the state and t h e
government has since blamed him for a series of bomb
blasts in Bogota and other cities which have killed more
than 4 0 people . The formation of Free Colombia comes
only 15 days after that of another anti-Escobar group ,
Pepes ( People Persecuted by Pablo E s c o b a r ) , which has

to any man-made or even God-given law . ' W e &hellip;
know ' , says P a u l , ' that a man is not justified by works
of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ &hellip;
because by works of the law shall no one be justified ' (
Galatians 2.16 ) . Paul is declaring that none of the
things we boast a b o u t , or trust in ~ intellect, upbringing
, orthodoxy , good life , and so on ~ are vehicles of
salvation . Each is tarnished by sin and , clothed in these

Many of the new churches being planted have this aim
to be intimate with God . From this intimacy flowed the
missionary movement of the church which began in an
Acts 13 worship meeting . But the goal of worship is not
its effects in mission , but simply to know God personally .
This may be hard for western activists to take , but it is
our highest purpose : to know God and to enjoy him
f o r e v e r . As a congregation comes before God and gives
time to him in praise , they are declaring their
understanding that this is their highest purpose and
pleasure in life : to know God . This is the long l o s t '
missing jewel of the evangelical church ' ( t o use A W
T o z e r ' s words ) which has now been found . This
emphasis on worship is at the heart of the gospel itself. It
springs from an understanding of the fact that Jesus came
to bring men and women in revolt and in slavery back into
intimate loving friendship with God .

H o w e v e r , in abstract thinking it has always been
our habit to assume the role of Ego perfectly isolated
from spontaneity ; and even when in theory w e have
learned to distinguish the play-acting from real life , w e
are still liable to slip back into thinking as though the
agent applying ' Be aware ' were indeed an Ego
unaffected by inclination veering with awareness . A s
long as the habit clings , to derive evaluations directly
from ' Be aware ' will feel like making an indefensible
leap to value from f a c t . H o w e v e r , let us assume that
the habit is broken . So far (a) w e have been
presupposing a single agent responding to a present
situation and trying t o guide his spontaneity by reason .
Submitting to ' Be aware ' , he attends closely to his

This presupposes t h a t " Renaissance dramatists did
know Seneca . " * Finally, another place for
presuppositions to hide is in a clause which sets the scene
in a sentence ; an example is the TEMPORAL CLAUSE , as
in the following example : When Blake saw his first angels
he was sitting in his garden . This presupposes that Blake
saw angels . It is worth checking your essay t o make sure
that you are not presupposing things which you d o n't
believe are true , and that you are n't hiding anything in a
presupposition which needs to be made explicit and
justified . But presuppositions are essentially a tool rather
than a nuisance ~ a way of expanding the power of your
writing by enabling you to say a lot in a short space . They
allow you to imply things without saying them directly , and
so to develop complex arguments in relatively short
passages of writing .

When awake , w e normally reflect on the stream of
consciousness as it goes on . In addition , w e can be aware
that w e are in one place , perhaps seated at a d e s k , and at
the same time imagine something else . Rechtschaffen
claims that during dreaming this is not possible . He says , "
I can not remember a dream report which took the form , "
W e l l , I was dreamina of such and such , but as I was
dreamina this (a) I was imaqininq a different scene which
was completely unrelated . " " The imagery of the dream
totally dominates consciousness . Paradoxically, while
dreaming w e are without imagination and w e are not aware
that w e are dreaming . Instances o f " lucid " dreaming ,
when the dreamer is aware that he or she is dreaming , are
rare , even among those w h o claim to experience it
frequently .

brightness through the empty branches and when the tree

The questions our friends were dying to ask were those
which the tabloids have trumpeted ever since the case came
into the public domain . Since they could n't talk about t h a t ,
they preferred not to talk at all . Having a baby would have
taken us off the front p a g e s , making us safe and dull again
. Other people's sexuality is always threatening , a hot dark
secret from which we 're excluded . Birth brings it out in the
open . L o o k , the proud parents exclaim , h e r e ' s her
sexuality ! Come and tickle its tiny toes and admire its babyblue
eyes ! And everyone heaves a massive sigh of relief .
There they were(tense) imagining satyrs and succubae
and God knows what manner of obscene delights, and all
the time it was just a baby ! The only problem with this
pleasing scenario was that there was n't going to be any
baby . This was n't for want of trying . If effort had counted
for anything , we would have had a family of Catholic
proportions . W e were even using the papally approved
contraceptive method , only in reverse .

What can we say of this ? Now this question will be
answered in the wrong way if we forget the qualifications ,
forced upon us by the adoption of Wittgenstein's notion of
language-games , which permeate the implications of such talk
about dumb animals . Frey would solve the problem in the
following m a n n e r : Recognition (t) involves certain beliefs ;
specifically, that the object has been previously encountered ,
that we are not imagining i t , and so on . But only a selfconscious
user of language could be capable of this . So
animals are incapable of recognition . Now R e g a n ' s response

It is difficult not to notice that the ' bundle of sticks ' is
reminiscent of the Roman fasces , the bundle of rods with a
protruding axe-head , carried before Roman consuls as a sign
of the state authority of Rome , and adopted by Mussolini as
a symbol of the movement he led to power in 1922 , whence
the word ' fascist' . Those who died while protecting the
Lithuanian parliament from Soviet tanks and t h e ' black beret
' crack troops were hardly imagining a great role for
Lithuania in world councils : they just wanted their country to
run its own affairs without foreign domination , which they
have now achieved . The fact that Estonia and the Ukraine
have proposed the issue of their own currencies illustrates
how the control of tax and expenditure lie at the heart of
independent g o v e r n m e n t . The Ukraine determined in
October 1991 to have its own 400,000-strong army .

he have to go on ? He kicked repeatedly with all his strength
and heard splintering . Encouraged now he kicked again with
greater force and application , ignoring the cuts from the
sharp ends of broken wicker which clawed at his feet and
legs . Soon the whole side of the basket was smashed and he

As he had certainly not been , it seemed ; not until now .
But what could her name mean to him ? It was n't Morris , it
was n't identifiable , even to a keen archaeologist ~ not
unless he happened to be all too well informed about the
experts who had interested themselves in Aurae Phiala , and
even in their heirs and heiresses , down to herself . But why ?
What could he be a f t e r , where could he fit in , if this was
true ? No , she was imaainina thinas . He had simplv
hesitated to take the plunge and stake on a worthwhile
weekend with h e r , and it was pure chance that he had made
up his mind just after he had learned her name . Logic
argued the case for this theory , but instinct rejected i t .
Unless she was much mistaken in that young man , pure
chance played very little part in his proceedings . His
manipulation of impudence and deference was too assured
for t h a t . Whatever he was a b o u t , there was method in his
madness .

silvery-green eyes looked deep into gold . ' Perhaps we could
ignore what is past and start again ? ' he suggested . She
nodded , all her doubts dispelled as night's shadows were
dispelled by the light of day . Gladness filled h e r , irradiating

a clear sky . She floated down to earth slowly , to find him
studying her dazed face with an unmistakable gleam of
triumph in his eyes .

The information necessary to spot such an event as this is
not difficult for a well organised customer level database to
recognise . In another example , two customers with a joint
account notify their bank of change of address . They have
been building up balances in their current account for some
four months . The number of their monthly transactions and the
average value of these transactions has also been growing as
they transfer monies from their savings accounts to pay for
surveys , place a deposit with estate agents and so forth .
Soon(d) they will be needing a personal loan , perhaps for the
first time e v e r , to pay for the carpets , the curtains and the
new kitchen . It is too ambitious for a financial organisation to
hope to recognise such situations and respond accordingly ? T o
marketing departments the technological challenge associated
with such an approach may appear at first quite daunting . Yet
with the development of improved risk management techniques
, they find that much of the technological infrastructure is
already in place .

been in touch with him indirectly through learning early in the
year that he and John Hayward were(tense) needing a
housekeeper. Through family connections , Margaret knew a
handsome Greek l a d y , who seemed suitable . She had not
merely been a housekeeper but her qualities of efficiency,
cheerfulness and gastronomic expertise seemed to fit her for
the task of looking after this unusual p a i r . I was several times

matters , and I was struck by his almost fierce , perhaps too

So strange behaviour is an indication of stress . If you like
, it is the same as the body producing the symptom of a
cough when the lungs have become congested and need to
get rid of the secretions in them . T h e cough is there to
signal that something is going awry and needs attention
after which it will be all r i a h t . When we find ourselves
unable to think straiaht the pattern (a) is the same . Our
emotions are saying they are under a lot of stress and are
needing some help . The help that is needed is essentially
for someone to listen , maybe repeatedly and sometimes , it
seems , endlessly . It is for someone to support the person
whilst they try to unravel their thoughts in such a way that it
becomes clear that they can say anything , no matter how
bizarre or odd it sounds , because that will be the way they
sort out their feelings in order to cope with them . It is not
that people need to change or be ' cured ' ;

On one side of the hill are typical favela wooden
construction type houses , the other side of the hill where
the church is situated are stone built constructions
interspersed with all other types of construction material
they can get their hands on . There is also a large car
factory nearby where some of the people work , so I will
be asked to take services there also . The family news is
that we are all w e l l , the girls are settled at school which
we hope will continue when we move . Their English
language is needing some work even though Cath does
a lot of work with them on their English , so please pray
for this . Robert says he is more settled at school but is
having to work very hard this y e a r . Another plus for him
is that he is no longer surrounded by girls and the
English , as he now has Kyle MacDougall at the h o s t e l ,

In addition we were forced to reduce the total
workforce by almost a third during the course of the year
due to market conditions . Other changes in the year
were the creation of a new division ~ Wimpey Building
Products ~ from the previous activities based at Darlton
and all the concrete products business within Wimpey
Asphalt and including our mastic asphalt activity - Pure
Asphalt at Bolton . It is also becoming increasingly
obvious that the company is needing to meet onerous
legal requirements and indeed , our own commitment to
better standards in areas such as Health & S a f e t y ,
Quality M a n a g e m e n t , environmental matters , transport
and training . It is felt that these require the full-time
attention of a senior director to ensure complete
compliance , that our company is at the forefront in this
area and is proactive in improving our standards .

How W e Want T o Get There ~ Changing Roles Making
fundamental changes to the way the arts are structured
demands fundamental change to the roles of those
people participating . This is true for disabled people as
well as non-Disabled people . The therapeutic approach
has tended to cast Disabled people in very passive r o l e s ,
initiated and controlled by non-Disabled professionals .
W e are needing to learn active roles , to choose what
we want and how to achieve i t . Whilst making choices
sounds simple , constant discrimination or extreme
segregation have removed from many Disabled people
the skills needed to make even basic decisions . Disabled
people meet substantial resistance to many choices , and
so a range of communication , assertiveness and
negotiation skills is needed .

An alternative procedure which appears to be
acceptable to HM Land Registry is to apply for office
copies of the registered title ( Form 109 ) ; this incurs the
same fee ( £8 ) as an index map search , and following
the Land Registration ( Open Register) Rules 1991 it is
not necessary to specify the name of the proprietor; if
the land is not registered the application will be rejected ,
but if it is registered the receipt of office copies gives the
opportunity to check the charges register for mortgages .
Strictly one should specify if one is requiring the
freehold or leasehold title , but in practice to tick both
boxes seems to work ( unless the position is obvious ,
such as with a f l a t ) . As far as registered title is
concerned , the land certificate need not be produced (
Land Registration Act 1925 , s64(5) added by Matrimonial
Homes and Property Act 1 9 8 1 , s 4 ( l ) ) . There is no fee

So keep your eyes peeled ! Age old row Further to the
letter from T. Jenkins in the February issue , I would like
to point out that the AAA has had minimum ages for road
races for at least 30 years . In the last few years , the
AAA has made strenuous efforts to see that the age for
distance rules are observed , not only for official races
but also for fun runs , which are not subject to their
control . In addition , the police to their control . In
addition , the police are requiring promoters to observe
the appropriate minimum age and failure to do so often
results in permission being refused . T Jenkins can now
enter 10K races , as the minimum age for that distance is
15 , but the number of road races open to runners in
their early teens is very few . Towering lack of success I
was most interested in Mark Blythe's article on racing up
towers and high buildings around the world . I 'm sure
several readers will wonder why we do have many similar
races in Britain .

This provision is a percentage of the authority's
overall outstanding debt and is prescribed by the
Government ( Part IV of the Local Government and
Housing Act 1989 ) . As a consequence , whereas before
the government used to control the amount of loan
redemption by setting a maximum redemption period for
each category of a s s e t , now it has a global c o n t r o l . By
setting the percentage at 4 per cent ( as it did ) , it is
requiring local authorities to spread loan redemption for
its aggregate borrowing over approximately 50 years at
maximum ( which equates to 4 per cent on a reducing
balance basis ) . Among other things , this means that
the traditional connection between loan redemptions and
the lives of associated assets has been broken . Now loan
redemption is a matter for the Government to decide ( at
least as to minima ) , and presumably comes down to a
judgement about how much the Government thinks that
local authorities as a whole can afford to redeem in any
y e a r .

The technologists , in handling any new , slightly
practically oriented subject, like quantity surveying and
estate m a n a g e m e n t , tended to adopt a ' walk before
they can run approach ' in approving unclassified degrees
fairly extensively , until they found that arts and pure
sciences were , for whatever reason , not going down
that road to any e x t e n t . W e appeared to have students
of the same native wit coming to courses in the arts and
the sciences and the technologies , and the technologies
were requiring quite a lot of these colleges to kick off
with unclassified d e g r e e s , and finally began to weaken a
little , I t h i n k , when they found that business studies and
art and design were doing no such thing . And this
remained a very difficult area for a long time . There
were conceivably differences in the quality of the
students entering the courses , but there seemed to be '
different appraisals of the m a r k e t , and what an honours
degree was all a b o u t ' .

As I said , the draft regulations impose on union
citizens a few minor procedural changes from those we
require of our own citizens . The main difference from our
normal arrangements is that union citizens will have to
apply to register to vote and will have to do so to their
local electoral registration officer by the twenty ninth of
March . W e will not be placing a duty on electoral
registration officers to seek out non-British or Irish
citizens for registration . A further small difference is that
we will be requiring intending voters and candidates to
supply information about their electoral rights in their

But Madam Deputy S p e a k e r , these order do n't pay
any attention to a number of matters in what I would
regard as the public interest and whilst the minister as I
say , has quite rightly paid tribute to professional
organisations involved in this process , we must never
forget that we 're here to represent the public interest
and not just er er specific professional interests that may
be relevant in each case and indeed in the light of what
has happened in this field of enforcement er over the last
two years , the minister must be aware that the public

One could attempt to limit the " period of difficulty " to
the two years by having a declaration of solvency ( i f
applicable ) sworn by the husband at the same time as he
makes the conveyance ( see Chapter 10 , Precedent 8 1 )
and hope that that is acceptable to a prospective purchaser
from the wife between the expiry of the two years and five
year period . There is the further difficulty that mortgagees ,
in circumstances where there might have been a
conveyance or transfer at less than full consideration (
whatever that is in a matrimonial c o n t e x t ) , are requiring
indemnity insurance to protect the mortgagee for an amount
equal to the advance ( see Halifax Building Society practice
notes 1992 paras 22 and 25 ) . Insurers usually require a
Statutory Declaration as to the solvency of the transferor
husband at the time of the conveyance so the practitioner
must consider whether or not it is practical to ask for this at
the time of the conveyance ( see further Chapter 10 ) .

Simply this that any government of any c o l o u r , at any level

responsibility of meeting the needs of elderly people which
proceeds on the tacit assumption or makes the blatant
assertion that there is no longer any poverty in Scotland is
requiring to be contradicted because it is not true . I have
n't used the word poverty I ' v e used a phrase about lack of
financial resources because it relates more obviously and
directly to many of the concerns of the Board for example
almost certainly the real reason w h y there was no room in

carpenter did n't go near the exorbitant prices being

And lastly, D u d l e y , is maths a good subject for a job ?
Yes , yes , it still is . Even when there are n't seemingly
many jobs for anybody I think a mathematician is probably
as well off as anybody to get a job , almost at every l e v e l .
erm Indeed one of the sad things perhaps at the lowest
level is how many jobs are requiring mathematical skills
t h a t , that perhaps twenty years ago were n't assumed . I t ' s
very hard to find a job which does n't involve some
interaction with machinery , with computing or w h a t e v e r .
And all this requires a certain level of mathematical s k i l l .
And at the more maths you know , I think , the easier it is
perhaps to get a job , and perhaps to be able to choose an
interesting field . There are n't many people w h o are
actually spending their life doing maths .

Means testing was expensive , clumsy and timewasting
. With children constantly moving between
evacuation and reception a r e a s , endless
administrative problems arose . By February 1940 (a)
Board of Education officials were realising the futility
of trying to operate pre-war means tests : for
example , it might be difficult to trace the parents of
an evacuated child . The London County Council had
found that it simply was not worth trying to recover
the cost of milk from the 2 5 % of London parents
whose income was high enough to make them liable
for the full billeting contribution , since ' the few
pounds they had succeeded in recovering over a
period of several months were far less than the cost
of its collection ' .

But Lillie's theme in 1965 was conservation , so he
was working on both topics simultaneously .
Apparently he got to hear about a particularly tricky
deal prepared by three Japanese whaling companies
to come with quota proposals , and he knew that one
of the companies was taking a very different view
from the other two , and he hoped that there could be
a divide-and-rule situation set up . He found , for
example , that one company was (tense) realising
that the whaling situation had been allowed to
become a terrible indictment of all those involved in
the industry, the Governments concerned and the
International Whaling Commission , but I a m afraid to
say that it was the attitudes of the other two
companies that prevailed in Japan for the ensuing
years . In 1972 the United Nations called for a tenyear
moratorium on all commercial whaling to be
enacted through the IWC .

ascended to near the top of the marketing class . While
manufacturers were perceived as the traditional users of sales
promotion , now retailers and financial institutions are realising
that these techniques can help build business . As Steve Bevan ,
editor of Sales Promotion magazine says : ' Companies are now

in with an overall brand strategy . Sales promotion used to be the
preserve of the junior brand manager but now companies are

The importance of sales promotions has increased steadily
since the 1 9 6 0 s , as has the sophistication of methods used . It is
sometimes implied that sales promotion is a second rate or
peripheral marketing activity, but companies are increasingly
realising the importance of a well-planned and coordinated
programme of sales promotion . Within the United Kingdom ,
sales promotional activities have matured since the late 1960s . At
that time few attempts were made to measure the effectiveness
of such activity , and advertising agencies tended to branch out
into sales promotions with the aim of offering an all-inclusive

people ? If you are truly loyal to Ulster then rally behind the cry
for independence . More and more Ulsterfolk are having their eyes
opened and are realising that independence is the only way
forward . Wake up Ulster, wise up Ulster, turn your back on the

complexity of defibrillators . There has been a fascinating
increase of interest over the last year by general

the acute care of myocardial infarction being heightened by
thrombolytic therapy . People are realising what
particularly the Belfast group has been preaching for years

I wonder if it is because the prevailing attitude to life in
the Eighties in Britain seems to be to look after number one ,
to get on , to make money , and not to bother about anyone
else ? I remember years ago , when I was teaching slow
learners in a Child Guidance clinic , a little girl from a small
village was reading a story in which reference was made to
someone ' cheeking the dinner lady . ' T o assess whether
she was (tense) understanding what she read , I asked , '
Does that happen at your school ? ' She looked quite shocked
and replied , " Oh no ! I t ' s Mrs Thomas . ' I thought that
was very significant: you may cheek a dinner lady , but you
do n't do so to someone you know and respect. If we could
get to know one another better, we might have better
relationships generally . I do think the artificial division of
people into age groups has a damaging effect on society .

Is cloze procedure an appropriate measure of
comprehension ? In the 1960s , cloze procedure came to be
seen by some researchers as the answer to many of the
problems of validly measuring text difficulty . B o r m u t h ' s
landmark study ( 1969 ) seemed to offer the promise not
only of more valid formulae which would incorporate the
results of new insights in linguistics , but also a means of
readily assessing whether a person was(tense)
understanding a text or n o t . T h e mean percentage correct
cloze score ( i . e . , the percentage of deleted words correctly
replaced by the r e a d e r ) appeared to give an indication of
how well a passage was understood . T h u s , a cloze score of
60 per cent would indicate fairly full comprehension , 45 per
cent would suggest some problems , while 35 per cent would
suggest that a reader was at his or her frustration l e v e l .
Recently , h o w e v e r , this view has been called into question .

On second thoughts , it might be better to say that it goes
without saying that linguistic communication is a matter of
conveying ide as or thoughts . For when what goes without
saying , especially the bit about translating thoughts into spoken
or written signs and then back again , is actually said , it begins
to lose its air of obviousness . In f a c t , it begins to look very
much like a piece of a priori theorising about how language
works . People may say that understanding something , as you
are now understanding what I have written , involves
interpretation , that is , translating something linguistic , a
sentence , into something non-linguistic , a t h o u g h t ; but they
do not say it because they have found they actually have to do
any such translating . R a t h e r , they say it because they think it
must be like t h a t . It must be like t h a t , they t h i n k , because
what is said , or written' is not intrinsically meaningful . It is
really just sounds in the a i r , or marks on p a p e r .

It follows from causalism and functionalism , seemingly
absurdly , that our private visual experience is identical . (
iii) Suppose I do not understand Chinese , b u t , solely on
the basis of the shapes of the letters, and rules connecting
them merely as shapes , do the right things . For example ,
I pass through a sequence of states identical to one passed
through by a native Chinese speaker in being presented
with a question in Chinese and giving the answer in
Chinese . It follows , on causalist and functionalist views ,
that I a m understanding Chinese , which again seems
absurd . ( i v ) Differently, it seems difficult to accept that
consciousness is tolerably conceived when it is so
conceived that it follows that anything that can be
regarded as passing through certain sequences of causal or
logical states is conscious . As suggested by one formidable
opponent of the views in question ( also the author of the
objection having to do with understanding Chinese ) we do
not so understand consciousness that we can believe that it
must be possessed by a set of water p i p e s , paper clips ,
and old beer cans , provided that they instantiate a certain
programme .

' Jolly good , M u r t i , ' she would say . ' T h a t ' s enough
for today . ' This pantomime went on happily until the first
week of May , when Mrs Puri appeared one morning
unannounced at our d o o r , intent on doing a spot-check of
her property . She took one look at the sand dunes drifting
around our sitting-room and shook her head . ' What is
this ? ' she said , drawing a circle in the sand with her stick
. Olivia began to explain about not wanting to upset M u r t i ,

firmly . " I a m thinking you are not understanding the
management of these people . ' " But &hellip;' ' If Murti is
not doing her duty properly then you must be telling her to

Okay . What else then what other methods do we have
besides having eye contact what else might we do to
involve the audience to make them feel involved ?
Questions Yes , absolutely so questions er a very definite
way of involving the audience and again it gives a measure
of feedback does n't it because if you get the right answer
you know that they are with you and you know they are
understanding what you have to say . But obviously if
t h e r e ' s some hesitation over it then perhaps you just need
to step back a stage in what you 're saying and er er go
over it again to for clarity, and Tony w h a t ' s another way
of involving the audience ? Well y o u ' v e got to get them to
participate but I suppose you would do if you question
them Well yes I guess you would . Jeff w h a t ' s another way
that you might make the audience feel that they 're

The arousal I ' v e always thought that er that you should
n't be nervous but you always are but obviously as you 're
nervous when you do a whole host of things and nerves as
you become more skilled at it go away er and I ' d assume
that like most things that the nerves will totally disappear
and was somewhat surprised to find out that you 're
always aroused t h a t ' s right when when you do t h a t , and
obviously the need to gauge the erm presentation against
audience contact to see that they 're involved and they 're
obviously understanding what you 're saying and pick
them up and grab them . So for me the three things were
the structured thought patterns plus the arousal and the
need for audience c o n t a c t . What did you think Sarah ? I
found the three most important things for me yesterday
were the span of conception the clusters and the whole
subject of nerves . The span of conception useful to gather
that three is the best number and dividing it up into threes
and threes again was simplest and effective way of setting
it up .

Nailed to the wall was a large blackboard with a
compartment for chalk attached to i t . On the blackboard was
written : ' Greetings to Melanie , Jonathon and Victoria , ' in
white chalk , surrounded with decorative blue scrolls .
Melanie felt a lump in her t h r o a t ; it was a touching and
whole-hearted welcome . Aunt Margaret picked up chalk and
wrote : ' Take off your coats and be comfortable . I am
minding the shop so we must stay downstairs for a while.'
Melanie noticed the w o m a n ' s index finger was stiffly grained
with chalk d u s t . She would have been a talkative woman if
she could . Then she settled Victoria in the big chair and set
about making tea . There were also big cream buns from a
paper-bag , two each for the children . ' Our last meal was

If the individual can fence himself off from the prying
eyes or fingers of the state , can maintain his private
domain in his own way without intervention by public
authorities , an important aspect of political liberty is
established . Here again there is a question of balance : if
society has democratically determined that taxes shall be
collected and revenues so received spent in certain ways ,
non-payment of taxes is punishable even if the defaulter is
objecting on conscientious grounds to aspects of staff
spending - on arms , for example . All this is
straightforward enough , and is at the heart of liberal
democracy , respecting dissent and minority opinion within

And it produced nothing like the furore that the almost
contemporary list of ' Great British Novelists ' did . But
then that managed to omit the names of Anthony Powell
and Angus Wilson . Not enough young young As I
understand i t , the Sunday Times is not objecting ,
primarily , to the fact that people have been left o u t , but
that there were not sufficient young ( meaning under 40 )
novelists to include and that there was too much emphasis
on the rather elderly young like Ben O k r i , Kazuo Ishiguro
and Iain Banks , w h o are well enough established

Recent Developments on the Cambrian
Lines The 1991 summer has not been one of the best for
tourism in mid Wales and this has been reflected in the
passenger loadings over the BR system and , once
September came in , things turned particularly quiet with
the local line stated to be absolutely dead . It is on this
line that the Class 153 single car units - made from the
Class 1 5 5 ' s - are due to arrive shortly . They are already
down in Cardiff but ASLEF apparently is objecting to the
very small cabs which have been created for the driver at
one end . H o w e v e r , overloading of certain services
remains a major problem , and reports have been received
of passengers having to stand from Birmingham to
Aberystwyth !

Now , if you 'II excuse me , g o o d n i g h t . ' She
looked at the clock when she got in . It was ten
o'clock . She had been up for five hours . And she
was absolutely exhausted . She wondered if she
was getting sick . If this was what Mandy happily
referred to as romance , she decided that being an
intern at a busy inner-city hospital was marginally
less stressful. It was n't romance , anyway . It
was &hellip; confusion . It was likinq someone
one minute and hatina them the next (d). It was
feeling attracted , and humiliated by that attraction
. It was feeling out of control .

Then as David got up to order another drink
she found that her anger towards him was
dwindling ; after a l l , she could hardly accuse him
of being uncaring when she was only too aware of
the caring nature of his activities . She found
herself watching him as he carried their drinks
back to the table , the easy way he moved , his
casual dress , his ready smile , and in spite of her
previous reservations she realised she was(tense)
liking what she saw . She had dismissed as
rubbish N i n a ' s allegations that the men thought he
was interested in h e r , but she had to admit he
was good c o m p a n y , and for the next half-hour he
entertained her with stories of his work in Australia
, of the people h e ' d met and of his excursions into

Peter Abelard rejected these crude and often absurd
ideas which seemed to lower the dignity of God . In their
place he substituted a psychological theory which is almost
modern in its understanding and penetration . He saw the
power of love to inspire and transform . In his opinion , the
cross of Christ did not change God , or our relationship with
God at a l l , but it changes us . The cross does not affect
God because he has alwavs(t) been loving and desiring our
repentance ; it affects us by presenting us with an example
of love and sacrifice which overwhelms us because of its
outrageous generosity . Let us now dig a little deeper into
this theory and try to appreciate A b e l a r d ' s thought from
within . For him the power of love is p a r a m o u n t .

hospital blunder. Bob Mays had to confront the fact that for
years(a) he had been lovinq someone e l s e ' s d a u a h t e r .
The story of Bob and Kimberly captures the emotional
torture of families across America whose lives have been
blighted by baby swops . It began in the Hardee Memorial
Hospital, Wauchula , Florida with Kimberly's birth .
Whether on purpose or by mistake , Kimberly was
exchanged for the baby who came to be known as Arlena
Twigg . The swop did not come to light until Arlena , who

This leads naturally to the splendid definitions of love
in chapter ten as Rolle anticipates the disciple bringing
him down to earth with a question : " You talk a great
deal about love but what is it ? Where is it ? How do I
best practise it and know that I a m loving God ? " T h e
systematic answers reveal that love is essentially in the
inner heart of man not in works , which are merely a sign
of love , though it is true t h a t " luf wil noght be ydel : it es
wirkand som gude evermare " ( 1 1 1 . 9 6 - 7 ) . By reexamining
the three degrees in ways which are closer to
those of Emendatio Vitae Rolle now expands
understanding of the implications of his earlier definitions
in chapter eight of The Form .

What they suggest is that the roots of these activities lay
deep in popular or folk culture but that ultimately the new
urban manifestation of these activities revealed more about
the values of the business classes than they did about the
masses themselves . What left-wing historians regret in
particular is that the emergence of this new ' popular
culture ' came at precisely the moment when conditions
were(t) favouring the development of a radical workingclass
political consciousness . Just as education , literacy
and communications were beginning to prepare the workers
for new radical organizations their attention and savings
were captured by opportunistic entrepreneurs with a very

It can not be coincidence that the folding of the septal
walls occurs at the point where they meet the body shell of
the a n i m a l ; this is a point of relative weakness , and all
good joinery benefits from strengthening the j o i n t . T h e
earlier ammonoids had gently wavy sutures , and many of
the Mesozoic ones had sutures almost incredibly folded and
contorted , so it looks as if natural selection were (tense)
generally favouring increase in the elaboration of the folds
. One simple explanation , which is attractive and plausible,
is that the strengthening enabled the ammonoid shell to
withstand the hydrostatic pressure at relatively great depths
in the ocean ~ they need not be confined to the surface
waters or to relatively shallow depths .

H o w e v e r , institutions will be tempted to try to undercut
one another in bids to attract funding and this may very well
result in reductions in the unit of resource . T h e early
experience of the polytechnics and colleaes (d) has not been
encouraging , with complaints from the Directors of
Polytechnics that fierce competition was leading to the
under-funding of courses and falling standards ; they also
claimed that the Polytechnic and Colleges Funding Council
was favouring diploma courses over degree work . In the
first year of its operation only 5 per cent of polytechnic and
college funding was allocated on the basis of competitive
bidding , but the proportion is expected to be increased to
10 per cent in 1991 and further increases in subsequent
years can be anticipated .

I did n't want the election dealt with ' electorally' in
terms of party advantage and opportunism . When a number
of us here did a study of the 1984 Chesterfield by-election
(a), where Tony Benn was standing for the first time , and
asked constituents themselves what they felt about the
broadcast coverage , they repeatedly used the word ' bias '
to describe i t . But what they were getting at was n't so
much that the coverage was favouring one party over
another but that it simply did n't relate to them , the actual
voters in the constituency . They saw the election coverage
being presented predominantly in competitive terms , like a
horse race , with predictions about likely winners and losers .

It has been proposed that DNA supercoiling would act
to change the DNA structure at the promoter facilitating
or inhibiting the formation of a stable RNA polymerasepromoter
complex , in which the initiation region is
melted , and that can proceed to the promoter clearance
step ( 25 ) . The stabilizing effect of DNA supercoiling on
open complex formation is probably reflecting that the
torsional stress is favouring the opening of the DNA
strands driving the RNA polymerase-promoter complex
into a configuration with an increased half-life . This is in
agreement with the idea , proposed for E.coli rrn
promoters ( 1 0 ) and for the B.subtilis tms and citB
promoters ( 1 1 ) , suggesting that heparin sensitivity
occurs because the open complexes in these promoters
are unstable and equilibrate rapidly with free enzyme ,
which is then irreversively bound by heparin

Proposed sites for wind farms include areas bordering
on the Yorkshire Dales , Lake District and Snowdonia
National Parks . There is also a plan for over a 100
turbines in the Cambrian Mountains in Wales . Amanda
Nobbs of CNP says one of the major problems stems
from the government subsidies offered to wind farm
developers . A s these will stop in 1998 , developers are
favouring projects which give a rapid return on their
investments . This means building farms in higher areas
where the wind is strongest, but which are unfortunately
some of Britain's best areas of countryside . Nobbs
argues that the problem has been compounded because
the government has n't issued any planning advice to
guide the industry .

Trivers says , if my theory is right, and basically i t ' s this
Trivers Willard thing he was talking a b o u t , that parents
and offspring will be in conflict about parental investment
, he says , if my theory is right and if parents discriminate
investment on the basis of offspring success , then he
makes two predictions . He said first, selection will select
for offspring to know what sex they are and s e c o n d l y ,
selection will favour offspring who compete er with the ,

When the Prodigal came home and the elder brother
became jealous and self-righteous , the antidote for his sourgrapes
was a refresher course for his memory : ' My b o y , '
said the f a t h e r , ' you are always with me , and everything I
have is yours . ' In the parable , the K i n g ' s s e r v a n t , forgiven
a crippling debt of millions , refused to forgive his fellow
servant the debt of a few coins . By demanding payment on a
trifling a m o u n t , he is remembering what he should have
forgotten and forgetting what he should have remembered ~
that he himself has just been forgiven . Only such
forgetfulness could allow such unforgivingness . The same
lesson has been appreciated through the history of the
church . Augustine recognized that P a u l ' s words touched
everything : there was nothing he had which he had not
received . If this was s o , then all was of grace .

unfathomable eyes of a stranger. Craig Grenfell stared
moodily through the window of his friend's house in Chapel
S t r e e t , his hands were thrust into his pockets , and his
shoulders were slumped . He was remembering the
bitterness of his arrest and the ignominy of being imprisoned
behind the grim walls of Swansea Prison . He looked out into
the roadway without seeing the rain beating mercilessly
against the cobbled surface or the leaves of the trees
dripping constantly as they shivered in the breeze , he was

garden lit by shafts of lightning and somebody telling me not

the fringes of Wales that day ; and suddenly at parting the

did any serious Soviet account of the disaster ~ a tale of
bungling bureaucratic incompetence , clouded by secrecy ~
begin to filter o u t . The world was , and remains , shocked .
But in the Soviet Union itself , on this anniversary of the
horror on April 26th , people are not just remembering a
five-year-old bungle . The bungling has never stopped . The
story of Chernobyl's medical and environmental aftermath is

her flat last n i g h t . ' Yes , s i r ! ' she retorted snappily, and
banged the phone down hard . A second later she was
remembering that she , who had once vowed never to call
Naylor Massingham s i r ' , had just done so . Damn him ,
damn him to hell ! she was thinking aggressively, when all at
once she caught J i m m y ' s eyes on h e r . She could tell at once
that he knew w h o her caller had been and , from his
expression , that his intelligence was working overtime as to
why the head of the Massingham empire should ring her
personally.

When the Prodigal came home and the elder brother
became jealous and self-righteous, the antidote for his
sour-grapes was a refresher course for his memory : ' My
boy , ' said the f a t h e r , ' you are always with me , and
everything I have is yours . ' In the parable , the K i n g ' s
s e r v a n t , forgiven a crippling debt of millions , refused to
forgive his fellow servant the debt of a few coins . By
demanding payment on a trifling a m o u n t , he is
remembering what he should have forgotten and
forgetting what he should have remembered ~ that he
himself has just been forgiven . Only such forgetfulness
could allow such unforgivingness . The same lesson has
been appreciated through the history of the church .
Augustine recognized that P a u l ' s words touched everything

this was so , then all was of grace .

A sentence of this kind would be an interesting test
for advanced foreign students of the English language
because it is not merely unepigrammatic but devoid of
meaning . In a curious way you can understand what is
being said only by letting your mind slip into the same
fuzzy state S h e p h e r d ' s must have been in when he
spoke . I suppose that in some recess of his mind he was
recalling the old cliche about honours being handed out
like lollipops, but the more I look at the sentence the
less I understand what he was on about or w h y it was
considered worthy of preserving in print. My final choice
from last w e e k ' s ' Independent' was the example that
provoked me into attempting this subject in the first

The evening before last I watched your father
proceeding very slowly towards the dining room with his

the end of his nose dangling over the soup bowls . I
would not have thought such a style of waiting a great
stimulant to appetite . ' But now that I think further
about i t , I a m not sure Miss Kenton spoke quite so
boldly that day . W e did , of course , over the years of
working closely together come to have some very frank
exchanges , but the afternoon I a m recalling was still
early in our relationship and I can not see even Miss
Kenton having been so forward .

Nonetheless , there is more than one pattern of
results which could produce a significant average
correlation between risk and recall . One possibility is
that certain junctions are both intrinsically more
memorable and more risky than others . A second , and
more interesting , possibility is that subjects are actually
recalling the situations in which they personally felt at
risk irrespective of any other features of the junction . If
this were the case then a junction would only be more
likely to be recalled if the subject had actually felt at risk
even if they knew it to be a generally dangerous junction
. The first possibility can be assessed by using the mean
risk ratings and the percentage of subjects recalling a
junction given in Table 3.2 .

The whisper is that Faldo has not been saying too much
about how well he is playing for fear of tempting fate . There
has , nevertheless, been time to watch him and he appears
to be hitting shot after shot pretty well exactly where he
wants i t . Only the number of putts he holes varies .
Ballesteros , t o o , is already smelling the a z a l e a s , the
important factor with him being that his short game is razor
sharp . His driving , suspect in the Players ' championship ,
has also improved . I have seen less of Olazabal because , for
some reason , I do not find him an easy player to watch .
Everyone knows how good he is , or nearly is , but somehow
he remains a more remote figure .

SUPER SCENTS When our mouths water at the evocative
aroma of good cooking , we are experiencing a sense found
in even the most basic forms of life . Single-celled protozoa
can detect the chemicals in their food and move towards
them . Whether an animal is tasting or smelling its food may
be difficult to determine , h o w e v e r , for the distinction
between the two senses is often blurred . For example , the
snake uses its forked tongue to gather scent particles from
the air and tastes them on a special membrane , called
J a c o b s o n ' s organ , at the back of its mouth . The smell and
taste receptors of insects may be mingled , with some
performing both functions .

ice-cold comedy of his father/photographer/landowner melange
projects the disjunctive genius of Crime and Punishment on yet
another plane . In any case , says Porfiry , there is no need to
lock Raskolnikov up , because ' you wo n't run away ' . He has
nowhere to run to , nowhere , absolutely nowhere , to go . His
crime has brought him to the extremity which Marmeladov was
telling him about and tasting at the bottom of his own vodka jug
in the opening pages of the novel . M o r e o v e r , Porfiry adds , '
what will you run away with ? ' An amazing stroke . Raskolnikov
is Mr Naked done again . Porfiry means that he does n't really

himself that he is n't.

It applied equally to the Galapagos Archipelago where the
ancestors of D a r w i n ' s finches had on arrival resolutely stuck to
their islands and refused to travel short distances across water to
interbreed and had consequently evolved into thirteen distinct
species . Monitor lizards defy most barriers to animal distribution ,
largely because they are excellent swimmers . The water monitor
has a flattened tail for propulsion in water and nostrils at the tip
of its nose to aid breathing when nearly submerged . T h e forked
tongue is linked to olfactory organs . When it flicks out like this it
is tasting or smelling the a i r . Monitors frequent both Oriental
and Australian regions where they take many forms , including
