For the sake of argument, let’s pretend that among all the academics, civil servants, economists, voluntary agencies and the myriad others who have devoted their lives to this arcane subject, not one was deemed suitable. Alas, he is not available for interview, perhaps for fear that impertinent journalists might ask his opinion on the difficult interface between council rents and housing benefits.Let us assume there was no one else with any greater experience of the social security system to take on this job. He has no experience or track record in the field of social security benefits, or at least none he lists in Who’s Who.Maybe the workings of the social security system 1945-95 is an unlisted hobby or perhaps a subject he has been mugging up for Mastermind. How was a man whose talent was for understanding the claim form for family credit fit to lead men into battle?This is what did happen: in the deathly quietness of the bank holiday weekend, with virtually every politician comatose on some foreign beach, Peter Lilley, Social Security Secretary, slipped out a brief notice announcing that Lieutenant-General the Hon Sir Thomas Boyd-Carpenter had been appointed as chairman of the Government’s Social Security Advisory Committee. We could send him to serve a spell in Oman, Malaya or Borneo and he could write a book called Conventional Deterrence: into the Nineties.
Imagine the expression on the faces of his fellow officers as he walks into the mess on his first day, clad in his brand-new uniform and swagger stick, ready to take command. A military press officer, eager to excuse the patent improbability of this appointment, wrings his hands awkwardly and murmurs to those assembled that although the new chap may not know much about soldiering, “he is committed to acquiring quickly the required expertise”.

Shouldn’t take long, really, easy-peasy, pick it up in next to no time.This, of course, did not happen. If it had, the thin news weekend would have bristled into life as battalions of outraged Blimps proclaimed that this was the end of the great British professional army. Now, throw away his expertise and give him something entirely different. Let’s make him Chief of Staff of the Army of the Rhine, or Deputy Chief of Defence Staff.

Think the unthinkable: let’s take an expert in the maddening intricacies of the social security system, a man who knows how housing benefit tapers for every extra pound earned, a man who can explain the new rules on the child care disregard, a man who understands the labyrinthine workings of entitlement to legal aid. But please spare us the categorisation of this policy as one of “realism”: the words “wicked callousness” would be a far better description.Yours faithfully,Stuart WoodBeckenham,Kent27 August. Without any armed UN presence, the Bosnian Serbs would presumably find the task of “re-allocating” this territory even more straightforward than they did at Srebenica, little more than a month ago.Those who can lose no sleep over such politically expedient decisions as removing armed peacekeepers to allow “re-allocation” of territory (the civilians do not even earn a perfunctory mention) from the Bosnian government to Bosnian Serb control are, of course, entitled to their views In fact, they are welcome to them. For the most “ardent supporters” of the Bosnian government, the UN withdrawal from Gorazde representsfurther damning evidence of Western governments selling out the long- suffering Muslim population of Bosnia,writes Tony Barber.Readers are then informed that the “realist” view supports the withdrawal, as this opens the way to Gorazde’s “re-allocation” to the Bosnian Serbs, which could facilitate a peace.

The opening lines of that essay,
The speed at which news is reported, consumed and then forgotten made it almost inevitable that the horrific story of Srebenica should drop from the headlines barely one day after it dominated our television screens and front pagesnow appear ironically apt.The Independent’s very own European commentary on Saturday (“Restraint is the order of the day”, 26 August) appears oblivious to the lessons of Srebenica. From Mr Stuart Wood

Sir: Your leading article of 14 August exhorted the world to exact “full punishment” for the slaughters of Srebenica, “one of the most hideous atrocities of the Yugoslav conflict”. This, it seems, is where it all went wrong in Sheffield.Yours sincerely,M A S GoodmanDalkeith, Midlothian28 August. It is verging on a state of paranoia to suggest that these people, both young and old, of every class and distinction and every church tradition, are part of an insidious cultic movement. There are those who emphasise baptism in the Spirit and there are those who do not.

Charismatics stress the need for salvation of individuals and society as a whole. As a someone who has been involved in Charismatic matters for years, I am unrepentently Anglican and boringly orthodox.The Church needs to understand the notion and impact of power in all relationships, especially within the Church. They are people who believe in the power of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.They are what you would call quiet Charismatics. It is meaningless to them.Within parishes all over the British Isles there are people who would call themselves Charismatic.

How about watching a previous game where Contreras pitched well? Or could it be as simple as doing nothing and letting Contreras build up his confidence naturally? Player personality should play a big role in determining how the coaches bring back his confidence. In addition, should Guillen skip Contreras in the rotation to let him work on his stuff or keep throwing him out there hoping that he figures it out? Would removing Contreras from the rotation completely kill his confidence?I imagine that dealing with struggling players like Contreras is somewhat of a balancing act.

His strategy – concentrating his forces in the south instead of the northern states where Congress has lost ground to the National Front – now looks misguided. Not only may Congress lose, but Mr Rao, by crushing all adversaries within his party, may have shattered Congress for years to come.Amid the thousands of candidates are several bandits, Bombay film stars and even a eunuch named after Kali, the goddess of destruction. Seven of Mr Rao’s ministers were forced to resign and all were denied party tickets for the May elections. They want to kick out Coca-Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the other brand names which to them symbolise all that is wrong with the West.Many of the country’s top politicians are facing charges in a huge corruption scandal. Few doubt that the police investigation was triggered by Mr Rao, since the victims are his biggest rivals both inside and outside his Congress party. Health experts consider 65 per cent of all Indian children under the age of five to be malnourished.Mr Rao is committed to liberalising India’s economy.

But his leftist and right-wing foes are trying to persuade voters that Mr Rao’s reforms have gone too far, too fast and have failed to lift India’s poor out of misery. Both the BJP and the National Front claim that if elected, they will restrict foreign investment to power and infra-structure. With nearly 50 births every minute, India’s population growth is the highest in the world. This has eroded the advances made by the Congress government’s economic reforms; yearly income has dropped from $330 (pounds 215) in 1991 to $290 in 1993. Over 40 per cent of India’s 920 million people live in poverty.Ignored, too, in the electoral fray is the fact that India spends only $9 a year per person on education and one dollar on health.

None of the parties is willing to confront urgent issues such as India’s booming population or its poverty. If this forecast proves true, India faces the unsettling prospect of a hung parliament, or a coalition government patched together between one of the big three parties and the rowdy regional ones.Like the gymnasium wrestler intent on grinding his opponent’s face in the mud, the politicians have lost sight of any goal beyond their own personal victory. Gains by the BJP and the leftist coalition are expected to reduce Congress’s share to less than 200 parliamentary seats. Both are joining a breakaway party led by another Congressman, GK Moonapar, who described Ms Jayalalitha as “undemocratic, fascist and corrupt”.An opinion poll conducted by Outlook magazine showed that although Congress is expected to win most seats in the 545-member Lok Sabah, or lower house, Mr Rao’s party will be flailing to reach a majority.

The Congress party’s leader, premier Narasimha Rao, 74, yesterday was left staggering after the resignation of two cabinet ministers – P Chidambaram of commerce, and M Arunachalam in charge of industry. Both men were vital to Mr Rao’s campaign in the southern states, and Mr Chidambaram was also a leading architect behind the government’s economic reforms.The two ministers are from Tamil Nadu and were angered by Mr Rao’s pact with the state’s chief minister, a preening ex-film actress named Jayalalitha. The battle among the three main parties – the ruling Congress party, the right-wing Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the leftist coalition, the National Front – is expected to be closely fought and dirty.All parties have been hit by last-minute defections, Congress the worst. Or, when all else fails, gangs of these wrestlers are hired to steal the ballot boxes on election day.In this free-for-all general election, to be held next month, the service of these rent-a-goons is much in demand.

One of the first trips that any Indian politician makes during his election campaign is to the nearest akhara, the gymnasium of wrestlers. There, from among the muscled and oiled youths grappling in thick mud, the politician will chose his campaign staff.More crucial than speechwriters or spin doctors, the wrestler acts as the Indian politician’s bodyguard and his bullying enforcer who gets out the vote through bribes, threats and free booze. His last victim however was a California timber executive, killed opening a mailbomb in his Sacramento office on April 24, 1995.The first of the Unabomber’s 16 attacks was in May 1978 in Chicago. Only once was he sighted, just before a bombing near a computer store in Salt Lake City.Along the way he has developed into a skilful amateur chemist and bombmaker. His earlier devices were primitive but in the most recent cases elaborate bombs, about the size of a videocassette, have been his trademark, sometimes coming with his unofficial signature “FC”.That too was the term he used to describe himself (in the plural) in the published tract. But investigators have never believed that the Unabomber was anything other than a single individual..

Looked at closely, individual brushstrokes become nothing more than a jumble of coloured lines; it is only when we step back to view the whole image, be it by Greuze or Kandinsky, that they can be, as if by magic, interpreted.Although in talented hands an instrument capable of sublime imagery, the brush itself is only a tool which the artist spends his life attempting to master, but whose limitations he realises he will never wholly conquer.Artists, however, are by nature individualists and every great master has introduced his own innovations to basic methodology. That child would then start on worksheets at that level of ability.One of the children at St Albans started at the age of two and a half: at that level they start by learning to hold a pencil and draw straight lines.Their worksheets are appealing: the task is to draw lines between coloured animals, through brightly coloured tracks.Gradually, the tasks become a little more difficult: the track curves.

But there are some general puzzles about the Goldman relationship with Maxwell.For example, why did the bank not pick up the fact that large purchases of MCC shares by Liechtenstein trusts – supposedly independent of Maxwell – were being paid for by private Maxwell companies, which were siphoning off pension fund money?Mr Fife said that was ‘a legitimate inquiry that I wish I had a better answer for’.He added: ‘We watch with quadrupled emphasis any money going out, but we don’t watch with the same vigour money coming in. 219 J Van De Velde (Fr) 75 76 68; M James 74 76 69; P Walton 77 72 70; A Lebouc (Fr) 72 77 70; A Hunter 75 73 71; D Smyth 75 73 71; R McFarlane 74 71 74; M McLean 74 72 73; D Clarke 76 67 76.As the 1992 Amateur champion, Stephen Dundas of Scotland was yesterday invited to take part in this year’s US Masters.
