By quarter past one, Unionist party officials were negotiating to extend their booking of the Waterfront Hall. It was not clear whether Mr Trimble would get any lunch, or whether he would still be leader of the Ulster Unionist’s when the meeting closed. On Saturday David Trimble expected the Unionist Council meeting to be over by quarter past one, so he reserved a table for lunch at Tatu’s on the Lisburn Road. By quarter past one, Unionist party officials were negotiating to extend their booking of the Waterfront Hall. It was not clear whether Mr Trimble would get any lunch, or whether he would still be leader of the Ulster Unionist’s when the meeting closed.
During the day, most commentators expected him to lose, and at various stages that was also his own assessment.
Not that this worried him; Mr Trimble will not stoop to conquer his party. But prevail he did, even though the speeches seemed to be going against him. He won because of thequiet people, who sat and listened patiently before voting to sustain his leadership. He made it to Tatu’s for a late lunch at teatime.The Good Friday Agreement will be lucky to make it until the next Good Friday. Despite Mr Trimble’s victory it is still beset by fundamental difficulties. Mr Trimble himself is quite prepared to bring about the collapse of the new devolved institutions, and expects that this will probably happen. Equally, most of those who voted for him on Saturday did not do so because they want peace at any price, but because they trust him to bring down the executive if that becomes necessary.Mr Trimble is determined to ensure that, if it does occur, the collapse will be on Unionist terms.
That was his sole reason for resisting the calls for a Christmas deadline on decommissioning. During the negotiations to reconvene the executive, there was agreement on a June 2001 deadline. Decommissioning cannot be done overnight, however, and back in May, General de Chastelain, in charge of monitoring, said that if there was no movement by March there would be no decommissioning by June.That is why Mr Trimble favours a March deadline. He could then announce to the world that though his party had been prepared to implement the Good Friday Agreement – as modified by subsequent Unionist concessions – Sinn Fein was intransigent It was to blame for its collapse This would be a strong case. Undoubtedly, it would not play as well as it ought to; world opinion will find any excuse to deny Ulster Unionists a fair ration of credit.
But it would at least give the Unionists a chance of taking the moral high ground.That much-disputed region will see a further contest this week. As part of the deal that brought its ministers back to the executive, Sinn Fein was supposed to be in regular contact with General de Chastelain It has made one phone call since May But Mr Trimble has a sanction. As First Minister, he signs the invitations entitling other ministers to participate in North/South talks; there is due to be a session on Friday. Mr Trimble has announced that Sinn Fein ministers cannot participate unless they have spoken to the General.One vague phone call would earn them their entrance ticket, but the world would then know that they had been obliged to do what Mr Trimble told them.
Sinn Fein hates it when their supporters – or they themselves – are reminded that the Unionists and the British still have power in Northern Ireland It is also under some pressure in its own heartlands. The provos recently felt it necessary to murder the Real IRA’s commander in Belfast, and that is unlikely to be the last such incident.In its refusal to truckle to Trimble – as it will no doubt describe its failure to keep its word – Sinn Fein will probably be able to rely on support from its allies in Dublin and in the SDLP. There seems no limit to Dublin’s moral shoddiness or Seamus Mallon’s melodramatics. So forget January; the new devolved institutions could be under siege by the end of this week, for David Trimble will not give way – unless Peter Mandelson can transform private statements into public policy.This difficulty arises over the Patten Report on the RUC Ninety per cent of that document was uncontentious But the other 10 per cent was damaging and offensive.

British Gas concluded a round of sweeping boardroom changes with the appointment as group finance director of Philip Hampton, the 42-year-old finance director of British Steel. Mr Hampton succeeds Roy Gardner, who has taken on a much wider brief and is increasingly regarded as the eventual replacement for the chief executive, Cedric Brown, now seen as the last of the old guard.Mr Gardner, who joined from GEC in late 1994, takes on the formidable responsibility of renegotiating long-term contracts with North Sea producers, which are forcing the company to buy much more gas than it can sell, often at prices above those available in the market today. The payout followed Scantronic’s takeover last November by Menvier Swain.Together with the cost of closing Scantronics’s headquarters, the pay- off has caused a pounds 1m exceptional charge that will wipe out any profits made in the second half to April.Mr Brookes had been on a five-year contract until Scantronic’s board negotiated it down to three years shortly before the pounds 10.5m takeover.He was on a salary of pounds 210,000 plus pension contributions at 15 per cent of salary, at a time when Scantronic had fallen heavily into loss.Menvier said it will also be writing down the value of Scantronic stock on its balance sheet by pounds 4m in the second half.Mr Brookes’ payout was not the only one to hit Menvier Swain.Just before Christmas the firm also paid a sum believed to be pounds 250,000 to settle a lawsuit with the former finance director Ray Dias.Mr Dias left the company after pressure from institutions when Scantronic hit trading problems amid mounting debt in July 1994..

Murray apparently found himself in an unaccustomed situation, particularly in comparison to their previous six meetings, and he hardly got to the ball on a number of times.On the other hand, the Scot looked tired and started the match sloppily, which allowed Federer to have upper hand from the beginning.”I just started a little bit sluggish and then managed to find my game [after the first set].

At Chris Brown’s sentencing, two previous violent incidents revealed.
The Red Wings throughout the season have been a deadly opponent when they score first and tonight it showed. Dallas would tie the game on a power play goal by Stephane Robidas at 10:41. The Red Wings would take the lead on a Henrik Zetterberg power play goal at 15:13. Before the final buzzer of the first period, the Stars Jere Lehtinen would leave the ice with an injury.
News of his injury is sure to come out either late tonight or tomorrow. The second period was purely a physical slugfest. The Red Wings took three straight penalties: Zetterberg – Tripping, Chelios – Holding and Stuart – Tripping. The Stars would then try to match this with three straight sits in the box: Richards – Holding, Marty Turco – Slashing (served by Steve Ott) and Modano – Cross Checking. The Red Wings would then finish the period on two straight: Holmstrom for diving and Chelios for high sticking. The Stars finally get frustrated with themselves, their opponents, and the score in the third period. The Stars would take the 5 penalties in the third with the Wings recording none. Matt Niskanen would go at 8:43 for interference and then all hell would break loose. At 19:42, Brenden Morrow would visit the sin bin for holding followed by a Steve Ott roughing and misconduct at 19:55.
Toby Petersen would serve the two minute roughing in place of Ott. At the final buzzer, Mike Ribeiro would show his dislike for the men in red with a match penalty. As the dust settled on Game 2, the Stars again found themselves on the losing end. Until frustration and anger had set in, they played a much disciplined game. Detroit outshot Dallas 34-18.

Having him on the field with the typical receiver corps, and Ryan Grant lined up next to him, opposing defenses would have to respect every option available, and Vick could easily make them pay with his legs.Running was the way Vick became a household name – what better way to use him than giving him the option to run (not scramble) every time he touched the ball?At the end of the day, however, Vick is no longer an option and the Packers are still shaky at backup QB.

The school abandoned its rigid traditions and became a buzzing hive of progressive ideas; the area hummed with the sound of reggae and ska. Hackney Downs became strongly Afro-Caribbean and, at one time, boasted a black literature department Even this new state of affairs was not destined to last. The building was replaced, but the character of the school soon shifted again, with the growth of the area’s Afro-Caribbean community. Steven Berkoff, now actor, playwright and director, was a pupil in the early 1950s. (He has recalled the experience without enthusiasm: “I was perpetually caned …
the teachers were monstrous, all they did was shout and bully.”) The actor Michael Caine is another old boy, as were the lawyer Lord Goodman and Lord Peston, now a leading Labour peer.In 1963, a fire started by some stage lighting destroyed the school’s central Victorian building. The playwright Harold Pinter, who was inspired by a passionate English teacher, was there in the 1940s. He wrote to the Times in 1992 to rail against the “comprehensivisation” of the school, describing it as a former flagship of opportunity for talented children, many of whom were very poor: “We East European immigrant Jews in particular benefited from this aspect of the opportunity society,” he wrote.The London County Council took over the running of the school in 1906, and in 1944 its name was changed from “The Grocers’” to Hackney Downs The list of eminent old boys grew. He went on to become the knighted co-founder of the right-wing Centre for Policy Studies. Jewish refugees arrived in East London from Eastern Europe and the population of the school changed with them.Alfred Sherman, a pupil in the 1930s, was one such child.
By the turn of the century it was reputed to be one of London’s best secondary schools.This eminence remained unshaken throughout the first half of the twentieth century: the school continued to take in the bright sons of the wealthy and to turn out highly qualified young men But there were changes, even during those prosperous days. Forty-six architects competed and the result was a grand Gothic edifice enclosing a school with rigid discipline and a public school atmosphere. The railway had made the area easily commutable, and the guild members’ sons needed an education. Some experts say that sending in the big guns, as Gillian Shephard did yesterday, in the shape of a new education “hit squad” to run the school, could yet lead to rejuvenation and relative success.When the Worshipful Company of Grocers founded its school in Hackney in 1876, the area was a wealthy city dormitory populated by the merchant class.
But the story of this inner-city school, whose troubled recent history has finally led to direct action by ministers, is more than that. It is also the story of a rapidly changing area of London where teachers have strived to keep up with the pace and where the strain has begun to show.
Although there is a certain grim inevitability in the history of inner- city schools such as this, there could still be a happy ending. This is the story of Hackney Downs, where the young Harold Pinter once made the girls swoon as he played Romeo and where failure, disruption and uncertainty now top the bill. This is the story of a how a school rose to greatness and fell from it into perhaps irretrievable decline.

After all, books rarely seem more boring than when they’ve been effusively recommended to us as “masterpieces” – as works of genius. This is perhaps because greatness in literature seems synonymous with schoolroom tedium and the need to pass exams. There’s something terrifying about a book whose greatness we have no choice but to accept, because critics and back-covers have gushed with all the authority at their disposal.How difficult to be spontaneous when we feel forced to read books we know we’ll simply have to end up loving, for if we don’t we’ll be outcast from civilised society: the only person in the world (or so it seems) to think it’s a bore. Perhaps it’s not, but we’ll never know until we develop the inner security to judge for ourselves.. PRESS PHOTOGRAPHERS are not by nature shy or introspective, and James Jarche – one the first of the breed – certainly wasn’t In his day, he was something of a celebrity. Yet although some of the pictures he took remain vaguely familiar – Winston Churchill at the Sydney Street siege, or a policeman chasing naked urchins in Hyde Park – he himself is largely forgotten. This is curious, for there was much in Jarche’s life that was memorable.
He was born in 1891, to French immigrant parents, in Rotherhithe, among the docks of east London. His father was himself a professional photographer, who spent much of his time taking pictures for the police of corpses fished from the river or seamen discovered near the wharves with their throats cut. By the time he was seven, Jarche was assisting him.
He was also throwing himself with great gusto into life in this tough, volatile environment. Encouraged by the local stevedores, he eventually became a talented wrestler At the age of 18 he was World Amateur Middleweight Champion.
He also developed a skill as a ventriloquist, mimic and magician – his party piece was doing imitations in German, French, Italian and Spanish, without knowing a word of any of them.But the photography he had learnt from his father offered the greatest potential to satisfy his natural curiosity, and the expansion of the Edwardian “ha’penny newspapers” drew him towards journalism. In 1909, he submitted a photograph to the Mirror, and it was published. In 1910, working for a picture agency, he waited for two days and nights in a damp field near Dover to photograph the aviator Bleriot completing his epic cross-Channel flight. His career really took off in 1912 when he joined the Daily Sketch, where he stayed as a staff photographer until 1929. Subsequently, he worked for over 20 years for Odhams Press, both for the Daily Herald and, later on, for the magazine Weekly Illustrated (later Illustrated). He ended his career at the Daily Mail, retiring in 1959.Most newspaper picture departments keep day-books which record every story a photographer has covered.
Jarche’s entries in the Daily Herald archives give a dizzying sense of his energy – and a bird’s-eye view of early-20th-century history. Dipping in at random, we find that his camera looked at the manufacture of penicillin, learning to type, taking X-rays at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, making fireworks, electrical demonstrations, developing the jet engine, dancing the can-can, digging for coal, unemployment at Govan shipyards, life in Hyde Park, copper-works in Swansea, beauty contests at the seaside, chemical laboratories, motor-racing, expanding the London Underground, ramblers in the countryside, Roman pageants, Kipper Girls in Scotland and Father Christmas at Selfridges. Add to this the fashion, the news stories – Amy Johnson and her airplane, King George V’s coronation, the launching of the Queen Elizabeth liner – and the hundreds of celebrity portraits, and you begin to get an idea of what a prolific career he had, and of why his work is significant: if not as photography, then as history.Most press pictures at that time were arranged rather than caught in a candid manner, because camera equipment was so cumbersome, and Jarche rarely veered from that tradition. Indeed, much of his work on the Herald had a relentless jollity to it. One of his most surprising and funny pictures shows sound-effects men at work backstage at a theatre, but even this, one suspects, was set up to describe the humour of the idea rather than the innate visual comedy of the situation.
The Rangers’ quick start can be attributed to their potent offense, which ranks fifth in the Majors, scoring 5.44 runs per game.Ian Kinsler, Michael Young, and Nelson Cruz have led the way for Texas, combining to hit .303 through the first two months of the season.Josh Hamilton, however, hasn’t been quite as productive, posting a miserable .234 batting clip while battling through a groin injury.From a fantasy perspective, how should we interpret Hamilton’s slow start?

Today it is virtually a ghost town, with all efforts directed to preventing further damage to the town’s main water works. Mr Lamb, the former England batsman, called a news conference to proclaim his High Court libel case ‘victory’ over the former Pakistani fast bowler, Sarfraz Nawaz.
But his legal adviser insisted that officials of the Test and County Cricket Board did all they could to withhold key evidence and prevent star witnesses from attending.Mr Sarfraz had sued for libel following a newspaper article last year in which Mr Lamb claimed the the fast bowler showed him how to ‘doctor’ a ball while they were team-mates at Northamptonshire in the late 1970s.Inevitably however, the case re- opens Mr Lamb’s more sensational allegations that Pakistan’s world-beating fast bowlers, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, were guilty of ball- tampering during their team’s victorious tour of England the summer before last.Mr Lamb ‘blew the whistle’ on Javed Miandad’s side in a Daily Mirror article following a one-day international at Lord’s during which the ball used by Pakistan was changed.

By 1992 South Africa was investing only 16 per cent of its national income, the lowest share since 1946.But the rate of growth forecast by Mr Keys will not be enough to make much impact on the country’s unemployment problem: barely half the labour force has a formal job and two-thirds of the black population are without work.

“As long as I understand accidents, then it’s all right for me.”Accidents to other drivers, however, perturb Schumacher. He reveals that he had to be persuaded to get back into his car after Mika Hakkinen’s horrific crash in practice in Adelaide last year, and only did so once he had been convinced it had been caused by mechanical failure. “If I had seen that a driver as good as Mika could make a mistake and the result was so serious, then I would know I could make a mistake as well and have the same risk as Mika.”The book charts Schumacher’s career from childhood to the present day and includes interviews with some of the key figures behind his rapid rise to the top. The best passages, however, are the interviews with Schumacher himself, particularly when he is talking about his fellow drivers.While he has the highest regard for Alain Prost and, particularly, the late Ayrton Senna, there are digs against most of his contemporaries. Interestingly, the team-mate who earned perhaps his greatest respect was Martin Brundle and Schumacher reveals he tried to persuade Ferrari to make the Briton his partner at Maranello.The account of Schumacher’s early years in motor racing is particularly revealing, and the story of how he got his first grand prix drive with Jordan and was then immediately snapped up by Benetton is a fascinating insight into the backstage politics of the sport.

Golota had a point deducted for an intentional butt in the second round, lost another point for a low blow in the fourth round and was disqualified two seconds before the end of the ninth after sending the Bowe to the canvas with another low blow. Golota was later taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw.”He was warned, and I took away a point for a butt earlier and I took another point away for a low blow that was really blatant and then the third low blow, and that’s a disqualification,” Eddie Cotton, the referee, said.The fight was a crowd-pleasing slugging contest as the two heavyweights, often looking exhausted, battled it out. Bowe was knocked down twice and Golota once.Golota, who was disqualified in the seventh round in July after repeated low blows, knocked down Bowe with a right and a left to the head that dropped him to the canvas in the second round. Bowe got up and Golota continued pummelling him around the ring, but Golota had a cut open underneath his left eyebrow.Bowe, who has lost at least 45lbs since last September, improved in the fourth round, catching Golota with a flurry of combinations that knocked the Pole down for the first time in his career.Golota got to his feet quickly and almost immediately started throwing very low blows, for which he was warned. Finally Bowe went down after one of them and the referee took a point away and Bowe took about a minute to recover.
He could have taken up to five minutes.Between the fourth and fifth round, one of Golota’s trainers, Lou Duva, told him to aim higher “I don’t want you to go to the body anymore. Everything goes to the head.”In the fifth round, Bowe seemed exhausted and was throwing lazy, looping punches. Golota caught Bowe with a rash of blows up against the ropes. Bowe came off them but Golota sent him reeling with another combination, ending with a right to the head.It seemed to be all Golota after that, with Bowe at times seeming so tired he was having difficulty standing up.
He seemed only a faded image of his old self but it did not matter as Golota beat himself again.Ray Mercer, who narrowly lost a 10-round decision to Lennox Lewis in May and last won a fight in 1993, outpointed Tim Witherspoon on Saturday night to put himself into the heavyweight picture. The 35-year-old scored with stiff left jabs and sharp rights to the head, to gain a unanimous decision over the former twice heavyweight champion.It was an important victory for Mercer, who lost 10-round decisions in tough fights against Evander Holyfield in 1995 and Lewis. He also had cost himself championship bouts with losses on decisions to Larry Holmes in 1992 and Jesse Ferguson in 1993.”I think I won the fight. I won it clearly,” said a disappointed Witherspoon, who is 39 in two weeks “I conditioned myself for this kind of fight It was easy.”The three judges, however, saw it differently.. “Get back to where you once belonged,” thought some when promoted Derby County started their Premiership campaign this season but Jim Smith’s men are refusing to “go home”, and were impressive when gaining a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at Highbury.
