Columbus sighted the island on his second voyage in 1493 and named it after the statue of Santa Maria della Antigua in Seville cathedral. By the time a party of English settlers landed in 1632, the original inhabitants, the Carib Indians, had vanished. Soon plantations were established, first tobacco, then sugar, and African slaves were brought to work them. Betty’s Mill is one survival of that period, a cane-crushing plant now being restored on its forlorn little hill-top. The Antiguan people are another: almost all 65,000 of them are of African descent.There is no point in trying to pass over the plantation years, especially if, like me, you live outside Bath in Somerset. Large parts of that grand Georgian city were built with West Indian sugar money, notably Beckford’s Tower which overlooks Bath and which was built by the eccentric William Beckford, who also built Fonthill in Wiltshire with his sugar fortune. So is the magnificent Codrington Library at All Souls College in Oxford, named after a planter and governor of the Leeward Islands.The historic centre of Antigua isn’t St John’s, the little capital where the vast cruise ships from Miami dock, but English Harbour on the south of the island, a fine natural harbour of two lagoons whose 18th- century buildings have been happily preserved.
The best view of the harbour is from Shirley Heights, a great headland overshadowing the lagoons, where 200-year-old barracks have been converted into a hotel and bar. It was presumably at English Harbour that Sir Thomas Bertram landed when he went out to inspect his Antiguan plantation in Mansfield Park. Driving around and across the island (which I’m fairly sure Jane Austen never visited), I wondered where Bertram’s plantation might be. On the north-west, near St John’s, a county of flat fields and sand? Or in the much damper and lusher south-west, with its dense foliage and banana palms? Or on the north-east, where we stayed at the Long Bay Hotel, with its long beach on one side of a spit of land and on the other a lagoon where I attempted to sail baby boats?Jane Austen’s novel has become contentious because of the Antiguan reference. In his recent book with the self-explanatory title Culture and Imperialism, Edward Said devotes a good deal of attention to the book. It doesn’t occur to him that the Antiguan plantation is a device in the plot designed to remove Sir Thomas from the action at a critical moment, and may have no political or economic significance.What’s for certain is that Bertram’s plantations, had they existed, would have decayed and fallen. The years after the emancipation of the slaves were bleak ones for the West Indians: they were paid a pittance by land- owners who were no longer obliged even to feed and clothe them.
What is strange is how much of England the islands retained, Antigua more than most: it is in some ways more English than England. At Willikie’s on a Sunday morning you see something you will never see from Land’s End to Hadrian’s Wall: an Anglican church with standing room only, packed out on to the porch.The hotels and restaurants are also curiously reminiscent of home. Around English Harbour there are several Italianate or seafood eateries which might be found in the Home Counties. Although St John’s is little more than an overgrown village, whose buildings are still mostly only two-storey, it too has something of the air of an English seaside town.And there, on the edge of the town, was one of the things we – or I – had come for. The attachment of the West Indians to cricket is a fascinating oddity. It was introduced some time in the last century, presumably by British soldiers and sailors.
Only an aggressive team is capable of capitalizing on those opportunities. Even if they have the attacking talent on the roster, being aggressive just isn’t Bob Bradley’s game.It isn’t his first choice, but he’ll do it when he’s backed into a wall.

“It is ridiculous that British civil servants [can] fly on US carriers. The Government should stop it until the US policy is reversed.”More importantly, Mr Branson wants Congress to relax US foreign ownership rules for airlines operating on domestic routes in America. Currently, foreigners can only own 49 per cent of an American domestic carrier or control 25 per cent of the voting shares.Mr Branson, who has plans to set up a new Virgin airline in the US, said he was encouraged by a meeting with Senator John McCain, the Republican chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. Britain is the only European Union country not to have an open skies agreement with America.Mr Branson, speaking to The Independent on Sunday following a trip to America last week, also launched an attack on US market restrictions to foreign carriers, including the Fly America policy under which US civil servants are obliged to fly transatlantic with an American carrier.”The Fly America policy should be immediately stopped,” he said. The US, for its part, made an open skies agreement a condition for it to be able to give the alliance anti-trust immunity.
Last week, six American carriers called on the US not to approve it until a free aviation trade pact is agreed.The US broke off talks on an open skies agreement with Britain last month after it accused the UK of making too little headway in opening routes to American carriers. Any carrier should be able to fly to Heathrow and any UK carrier should be able to fly anywhere in the US. We feel the UK Government should negotiate that right away and not kow-tow to British Airways yet again.”
BA and AA recently decided to postpone their planned alliance because the conditions imposed by EU regulators for approval were felt to be too harsh, given the current economic climate. RICHARD BRANSON has called for an end to the air war between the UK and the US and appealed for an immediate resumption of talks between Washington and Westminster to liberalise air traffic.
Celebrating the scaled-down alliance between British Airways and American Airlines, to which he was bitterly opposed in its original form, the Virgin chief said: “Now the BA/AA war has been won, we are trying to persuade both governments to treat aviation like any other industry. It is a bit late in making its move, but it wanted to clean up the special chemicals division before putting it up for sale.Still, the deflation virus is causing dyspepsia in corporate boardrooms Maybe the dust-up at LucasVarity can be discounted.

Boardroom power struggles are not supposed to happen in a company consistently voted “most respected” and “best managed” You can discount the eruption as an aberration. Put it down to the frustrations of one man – the deputy chairman, Keith Oates, who, according to published reports, felt he had nothing to lose in kicking up a public row over the question of who is to succeed the current 62-year-old chairman and chief executive, Sir Richard Greenbury.Or you can take it as a sign Many of us are stretched to breaking point in our jobs. Many companies, it therefore stands to reason, must be stretched to breaking point in the pursuit of sales and profits. If this is so, large parts of the world economy may be running on reserves.

Mr Whitty did not know whether the cheque was paid directly to the Labour Party’s Business Plan fund or through a party official.

Add to the virtues of narrative and description O’Brian’s phenomenal grasp of the naval, political, social and scientific history of the period of the Napoleonic wars, and his ability to create characters, women as well as men, who get up off the page and act out their own lives like free souls, and it is clear that O’Brian belongs to that high company of authors who are too little examined by literary critics.The chasm between the writers the critics admire, and the writers the public likes, may be infuriating, but it is an old story.

“Chas and Pip are me in conflict,” explains Wesker, “me talking to myself I am that old-fashioned autodidact. I didn’t go to university, so I read a great deal and had a view of the world from all sorts of books.” The two characters, in other words, are Wesker before and after he embarked on the project of self-improvement.The play can be carbon-dated not only by its subject but also by the neutering of its industrial language. In the Penguin text, the conscripts’ expletive of choice is “scorching”. Wesker has suggested to the director Howard Davies “sprinkling a few `fucks’ here and there”, while retaining “scorching” as a flavoursome whiff of the 1950s. Meanwhile, Break, My Heart, a new one-act play performed in Cardiff this summer, has been travelling along the linguistic sewer in precisely the opposite direction. When HTV came to film it, they invited its author to lighten the cargo of expletives.
“They complained that there were something like 62 `fuckings’ and one `cunt’ They said, you can have 12 `fuckings’ and no `cunt’. But we managed to bargain with them.” The story would suggest that Wesker is becoming more pragmatic. But there is another airman called Chas who looks up to Pip, and begs to learn at his feet. Their taste for eating chips with everything is symptomatic of a lack of imagination that perpetuates their mass submission. (Wesker, incidentally, has a soft spot for chips too – but not with everything.)Because so much of Wesker’s work is autobiographical – “My power of invention is slight”, he wrote in one essay – it is easy to assume that he invested much of himself in Pip: Pip’s leading role in the raid on the coke store, and fit of conscience when ordered to do a bayonet charge, both happened to his creator.
Its hero, Pip Thompson, is the privileged, educated son of a wealthy banker but, perhaps because of some quarrel with his father, has chosen to join the ranks. He stands accused by an officer of slumming it so he can crown himself king of the castle, and by fellow conscripts of patronising the working classes with his empathy In fact, he despises his new peers as much as his old ones. Is he not worried that the DNA in Chips will make it look like a period piece? “It depends what you mean by a period piece,” he says. “If you mean that it belongs to a period, then yes, obviously it belongs to a period.
If you mean that it is therefore dead and dull and of peripheral interest, the answer is, I don’t know.” He later adds: “I don’t see it as one of my plays that could last.”However sepia-tinted it may yet turn out to be, Chips with Everything remains the play about National Service. On the death of Osborne, Wesker writes an article in The Guardian about their last encounter, at a soiree at Buckingham Palace. Osborne’s widow, Helen, takes offence at Wesker’s portrayal of the deceased as a drunkard, and posts his name, alongside those of other personae non gratae, on the door at the memorial service, barring entry It is the most remarkable public humiliation But very dramatic. In Scene 9, a solitary Wesker visits Osborne’s grave.To see if the 10th scene brings a happy ending, we must await the judgement of the critics. The setting is the near future – September 1997 – when, 20 years on from the Shylock / Mostel debacle on Broadway, Wesker’s diary, The Birth of Shylock and the Death of Zero Mostel, is to be published.
He became a firm disciple of the Object, and disdained the Surrealists’ new-fangled obsession with the Image. (He always refused to shake Andre Breton’s hand, but became a lifelong admirer of Paul Eluard’s verse and Aragon’s lyrical gifts.) He dedicated his 1947 volume Executoire (“Writ of Execution”) to Eluard. He dismissed as idiotic the prevalent theory of the avant-garde that “any readable (i.e. understandable) poem must be a reactionary poem”.Instead of joining the Surrealists, he formed a sort of family group with Jean Follain, Andre Frenaud, Raymond Queneau, Jean Tardieu and Jean Tortel (who wrote a good introduction to Guillevic’s work, with a selection of his poems, in Pierre Seghers’ “Poetes d’Aujourd’hui” series, new edition 1990). “We formed a true poetic fraternity,” he said in a radio interview on the death of Jean Tardieu, lamenting the fact that today no such brotherhood exists among poets, “who would scratch each other’s eyes out for an inch of space in some obscure magazine”.The poets of this group all loved painting as much as poetry, and many were the rare, exquisite works they produced in collaboration with fine printers and artists. Guillevic’s art/ poetry editions are numerous, expensive (justly so) and much sought after by bibliophiles. The poems’ “accompaniments” or “companionages” as he called them were by a wide variety of painters – Soulages, Manessier, Picasso, Yukata Sugita, the photographer Brassai and many others.
It was all part of an ideal, yet real, fraternal association of like-minded societies of poets, though he had militated during the Spanish Civil War on behalf of the Communist Party and bravely tried to reconcile the irreconcilable – poetry and political engagement, even to the extent of composing a poem to the glory of Stalin. When the monster’s barbaric crimes were made public, he rejected post-Stalinist communism and left the party in 1980, on the invasion of Afghanistan.All this time, Eugene Guillevic was producing book after book. His second volume, Terraque (“Terraqueous”) was issued by Gallimard in 1942, in which the later form of his poetry becomes evident, in brief lines with hints of refrain about everyday objects, as in Choses (“Things”): “The wardrobe was oak / And was not open. / Perhaps the dead might have tumbled out, / Perhaps bread might have tumbled out. / A lot of dead, / A lot of bread.” In his notebooks, a great store of thoughts, drafts, letters from Max Jacob and others, we find the above poem, with an added line: “And it wasn’t big.” He had cut the line, deciding it was indeed too simple, to the point of total emptiness.The works that followed often contained ever-shorter lines of ever-shorter poems, sometimes combined into narrative and visual sequences, as in Magnificat (1977), which has 52 brief sections, minimal in form, some of them fragments of only two or three lines – “Your lip – / the one / the other” – all significant individually, but attaining their highest intensity of musicality when read as a whole.
His work will live on, crowned with a host of civic and literary honours, and with its own strange, taut, always surprising resonances.Eugene Guillevic, poet: born Carnac, France 5 August 1907; twice married (one daughter and one daughter deceased); died Paris 19 March 1997.. When in 1983 Gordon Underwood was asked by the British Council to set up a sport teaching programme in the Sudan, he was astounded by the students there who, despite having no equipment or facilities, were motivated and resourceful, kicking a football made of wound-up cloth with their bare feet. One man walked for 12 days across the desert to meet him, having missed the bus. Underwood was always impressed by physical achievement through determination. He was an early practitioner in Britain of “sport science” – the study of the mental skills of athletes. This year he had been working with a member of the British Mogul ski-team, Tim Dudgeon, preparing for the 1998 winter Olympics in Japan and had just written two new self-help sport psychology books, one for rugby players (Mental Skills Training for Rugby, 1996), the other for orienteers (Mental Skills Training for Orienteering, 1997, co-written with Steve Bird), which were the beginning of a planned series.
His first book, The Physical Education Curriculum in the Secondary School: planning and implementation, was published in 1983, followed by Teaching and Learning in Physical Education: a social psychological perspective, in 1988.Underwood was born in 1933 in Lincolnshire, and as a boy was athletic and ambitious.

The European Football Union yesterday clarified the position regarding the transfer system and nationality rules following the Jean-Marc Bosman judgement. “The commercial and environmental benefits are obvious,” he says.”Why not put President Chirac into a cellar with fungus and dynamite and let him make his own mushroom cloud?” asks David Urquhart.Nicholas E Gough sent us, in a brandy bottle, 50ml of reconstituted cloud – very useful if you are thirsty, he claims N Edwards sugg- ests drying clouds for convenient storage. We hope you have a merry one and return refreshed for our next encounter, with mad cows. Meanwhile, for when we return in the new year, we are looking for things to do with 1996. “Then, whenever there’s a drought, you can just add water and make rain.”William Salaman says there are four main types of cloud: Sheadtratus, Nimbheadus, Cheadumulus and Cheadirrus, but we think his head may be in the clouds.Prizes to Bill Fowler, A Marshall and Gilbert Wood Next week is Christmas.
More ideas:Store on car roof and drop between low sun and windscreen when necessary (Jeanette Solomons); potty-train them and sell results to Yorkshire Water, or blast into space to create White Holes, or cut up to make wigs for bald sheep (A Marshall).Gilbert Wood advises capturing clouds from aircraft and using their contents to make tea or coffee for the passengers, thus reducing the amount of water needed on board, and thereby saving fuel. Richard Branson returns in an idea from Mike Farriss, who suggests stuffing cumulus clouds into the Virgin king’s balloon to keep it airborne. “The Government,” Duncan Bull says, “should confiscate every cloud and extract the silver lining. The resultant worthless clouds would be stockpiled and sold to needy water companies during droughts. (Several other readers suggested transferring silver linings from clouds to suits or duvets to increase their value or tog value.)”If bottled,” says Janet Walker, “they could be used by psychiatrists who run out of ink for Rorschach tests.” Stuart Cooper gives instructions for constructing a personal shower from a cloud and a very long piece of string. Pull down the soft woolly ones, advises Bill Fowler, and use for packing delicate items or as ear-muffs for elephants Or use to plug the holes in the ozone layer. Clouds are for cuckoos to land on, says Betty Roe.
Roll up and use as earplugs for giants, suggests Jan Moor.
Clouds, says Michael Rubinstein, may feed the visual poetic imagination almost beyond endurance. Bringing them down to earth, however, he suggests they may be used “to wallow in a fog of pseudo-romantic euphoria”. Mollie Caird says they are useful for wandering lonely as, while Nicholas James takes a more social approach, suggesting clouds should be introduced to each other more often, so that they won’t have to wander lonely. Clouds, says Len Clarke, are very useful for naughty politicians to be under. Clouds, says Rosie Trevelyan, were invented by Richard Branson to bring visual relief to passengers staring out of the windows on long- haul flights.
He could start by trying to raise morale among dejected teachers. The best start would be a period of stability in schools as we come closer to the election, instead of questionable organisational change that an alternative government would quickly unstitch.. Instead of flogging a policy that does not want to run, the Prime Minister should listen to Mrs Shephard and instead concentrate on developing schools in their present framework. Mr Major is a politician in a hurry, worried that Labour will take power and kill the self-government ideal.He is behaving like many of his predecessors, Labour and Tory, who were too desperate to leave their own institutional mark on the education system. Like them, Mr Major suffers from the illusion that you cannot improve schools unless you reorganise them.He is mistaken: there are many other ways to raise standards. But she has been unable to convince her boss to swallow his pride and drop his controversial proposals.So why is Mr Major persisting with an unpopular policy shift that could have bishops denouncing him from their pulpits? Because he now realises that school self-government is unlikely to take root in the school system before the general election. In the past school year, 15 out of the 4,000 voluntary-aided or church schools conducted ballots of parents, and of those only six voted to opt out.Mrs Shephard for her part has spotted the storm ahead and is against changing the balloting rules.
So far, only one in 24 schools has opted out and only a trickle are in the pipeline. But if it is not genuinely optional for parents, then it loses its Tory raison d’etre.And Mr Major’s plan is politically inept. The churches do not like it: their schools already enjoy considerable autonomy and most do not want any more distance from their local council. Opting out can, indeed, offer schools a chance to free themselves from what can be the dead hand of council bureaucracy. He desperately wants to increase the number of self-governing schools. And he seems incapable of accepting reality: that most parents do not, in fact, want their schools to break away from the local council.
This fixation is becoming serious.

He also believes China might bomb airfields, immobilising Taiwan’s jets.Mr Chiang thinks China could “terrify the Taiwanese people” without using missiles. Continued military tests, the seizure of fishing vessels and other less extreme measures would divide Taiwanese society.There is also a possibility that many of Taiwan’s leaders would leave if the going got tough. Wang Chien-shien, of the New Party, which believes President Lee is provoking China unnecessarily, says Peking could inflict heavy blows without full- scale war. Although Taiwan’s army has acquired some modern equipment, such as F-16 fighter jets from the US, and Mirage 2000 jets from France, years of diplomatic isolation have taken their toll on its ability to acquire state-of-the-art equipment.This is not to say Taiwan is incapable of resistance, but it may have difficulty coping with military action which falls well short of war. Unlike Taiwan’s forces, the Chinese army has a number of leaders who have been tested in battle.
China has “sufficient military capability to bring Taiwan to its knees if it wishes to do so”, says a foreign resident with close ties to the military establishment.He believes Taiwan’s army has reasonably high combat efficiency, “but it has not been tested for a long time”. How can they be seen as non-provocative but demonstrate that they are capable of providing defence?”And what would happen if the military escalation got out of hand? China has the world’s biggest army, and it is increasingly equipped with modern armaments. Last month it made yet another futile attempt to rejoin the United Nations. President Lee, meanwhile, is riding high on the support he is gaining as the Chinese media launches personal attacks on him.”The question here,” says a Western observer in Taipei, “is how Taiwan’s military response is conducted. Here was the symbolic importance of our leader visiting a major Western country,” he said. “It changed the emptiness and frustration of the Taiwanese people.”China saw even more sinister motives behind the visit, according to Chu Yun-han, the director of programmes at the influential Institute for National Policy Research.He believes that Peking looked at the visit as part of a plot between Japan and the US to undermine China by promoting Taiwan.Taiwan refuses to back down.
People wondered what else China might do, if it responded so aggressively to what was no more than a private visit to the US.As Mr Yang points out, it was more than just a visit “It very much emotionally affected the people. Andrew Yang, secretary of the Council of Advanced Policy Studies, a government advisory body, said: “We don’t under-estimate their ability to do it.”When the first Chinese military exercise was launched, the stock market dropped like a stone and visa queues formed outside Western quasi-diplomatic offices.”It was a shock,” said Antonio Chiang, publisher of Journalist political weekly. However, China feels President Lee is intent on the ultimate heresy of making Taiwan an independent state, abandoning the Nationalists’ and Communists’ longstanding commitment to Chinese reunification.”I really think it’s possible China will invade,” says Tsai Bih-hwang, of the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist) party. China responded by bombarding Taiwan’s smaller islands near the Chinese coast. Taiwan maintained a steady hail of return fire.That confrontation eventually faded, and talks between the two governments gave rise to hopes of a peaceful solution.

His division has already built and tested prototype systems and he reckons that working versions could be incorporated into cars by 2000.”This could double the pedestrian detection range for the average driver, and quadruple it for older drivers,” he said. Research has found that drivers try to avoid night journeys as they get older, partly because natural eye deterioration causes problems watching the road, especially with oncoming headlights. In such circumstances, drivers are often unable to see properly because they are temporarily blinded.. Senior judges may be asked to declare whether they are members of a Masonic lodge in an effort to assess the prevalence of Freemasonry in the higher levels of the judiciary. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, told the House of Commons Home Affairs select committee he would consider asking the 150 most senior judges – the Law Lords, Court of Appeal and High Court judges – whether they were prepared to take part in the exercise.
In response to a letter from the committee, Lord Mackay told them: “I could invite the judiciary to say, if they wish to, whether or not they were Freemasons.” But he did not immediately undertake to carry out the statistics-gathering exercise, and made it clear that if he did, he would not insist upon a declaration.Lord Mackay told the committee, which is conducting a lengthy investigation into the influence of Freemasonry in the police and judiciary, that he saw no justification for an obligatory register, whether confidential or published. And there was no point to a voluntary register as a failure to declare membership would attract no sanction.But he agreed to consider polling the most senior judges after committee chairman Sir Ivan Lawrence told him it was impossible to gauge whether there was a problem with undue Masonic influence in the police and judiciary without knowing the numbers involved.Labour MP Chris Mullin said there was a suspicion that an “unhealthily large” proportion of the legal profession were Masons and “give each other a leg up when the time comes.”But Lord Mackay insisted he had no reason to think that the Freemasons did exert any improper influence over the judiciary. “I’m aware of no evidence of any substance to suggest that Freemasonry has an adverse influence, indeed any influence at all, in relation to the conduct of the judiciary,” he said.
He assured the committee that he himself was not a Freemason, nor ever had been.. Cars will soon come with infra-red night vision systems able to pick out people and objects that drivers otherwise might not see, following research by Jaguar. The new systems would use cameras sensitive to infrared radiation emitted from the front of the car. The enhanced image of the road and obstacles ahead, consisting of heat reflected from otherwise invisible objects, would then be projected in visible light onto the windscreen.
“Technically, we are really quite close to this,” said Paul Mulvanny, principal technical specialist at Jaguar Engineering in Whitley.
His division has already built and tested prototype systems and he reckons that working versions could be incorporated into cars by 2000.”This could double the pedestrian detection range for the average driver, and quadruple it for older drivers,” he said. Research has found that drivers try to avoid night journeys as they get older, partly because natural eye deterioration causes problems watching the road, especially with oncoming headlights. In such circumstances, drivers are often unable to see properly because they are temporarily blinded. The infrared system would compensate for this.US insurance industry figures suggest that driving at night is disproportionately dangerous: 55 per cent of serious accidents occur at night, with just 28 per cent of daytime traffic volumes.The biggest problem will be to get the cost low enough to make it economical to include as a standard fitting. The system requires special headlamps, an infrared camera, projector and specially-developed glass for the windscreen.”It’s a chicken-and-egg situation,” said Mr Mulvanny “If we could fit it for free, then everyone would want one. Our initial target is the sort of people who bought in-car navigation system.
Those initially cost about pounds 3,000, but the cost has come down considerably The same would apply here.”. One of England’s oldest adult education colleges, founded 150 years ago to provide a liberal education for working-class men, is being rocked by an internal dispute over claims that its governors are betraying its socialist roots and succumbing to the pressures of the marketplace. The Working Men’s College, in Camden, north London, which boasts John Ruskin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Charles Kingsley among its former staff, is the focus of a clash between a philanthropic educational tradition in which teachers once worked for free, and the harsh reality of modern further-education funding.
The battle to dictate the identity of the college in the next millennium has pitched a group of staff, claiming an ally in the ghost of the institution’s Christian Socialist founder Frederick Maurice, against the principal, Lord McIntosh of Haringey, Labour’s deputy spokesman in the House of Lords.The row centres on plans approved by the college corporation, a board of trustees and directors, for a fundamental shake-up of the way the institution is governed. The proposal is for the present system, in which the corporation oversees the college’s trust funds but delegates educational and policy matters to an elected council of staff and students, to be replaced with a single governing body.The rebels claim the move, which they hope to challenge in the courts, is undemocratic and out of keeping with the founder’s ideals since it would leave no more than one-third of seats on the new body for teachers and students. But Lord McIntosh and the college’s warden, Evelyn Murray, insist that a change is essential if the tradition of providing education for people with little access to other forms of study is to be continued.Malvern Hostick, art teacher, college council member and a critic of the reforms, fears they will destroy a key aim of the founder who saw students taking control of their studies.
