He also contributed to a generous spread of other dictionaries, musical guides and periodicals in Italy and Great Britain, recently adding International Opera Collector and Tempo to his fora.But his reputation went around the globe, particularly for his work on the generazione dell’ottanta – the group of composers born around the 1880s, and including Respighi, Malipiero, Pizzetti, Ghedini and Casella: no matter where, if you were reading an article on the generazione dell’ottanta that wasn’t written by Waterhouse, the chances are that the author would have consulted him. John C G. Waterhouse was one of Britain’s most respected musicologists – though the label of “musicologist” was always one he resisted. The reason for that respect was straightforward: Waterhouse (the “C G.” distinguished him from his father, John F. Waterhouse, who wrote music criticism for the Birmingham Post) knew more about 20th-century Italian music than almost anybody else in the world.
His interest in Italy began early: after an education at Eton and Merton College, Oxford, he wrote his doctoral thesis (1966) on “The Emergence of Modern Italian Music, 1880-1940″, and he assiduously ploughed this furrow for the rest of his life.He was encouraged by the composer Luigi Dallapiccola to study the music of Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), and his researches eventually emerged as La Musica di Gian Francesco Malipiero (Nuova Era, Rome and Turin, 1990), which he wrote straight into Italian.
This description provided “a valuable contribution to the solution of the problem” of landing mine-clearing “flail” tanks to clear underwater obstacles on D-day beaches in Normandy, and must have saved many a tank crew’s life. There can scarcely ever have been a more bizarre outcome of wide-ranging skills in bibliographical research than this.After retiring in 1961 Bertram Schofield moved with his wife, Edith, to Kidlington in Oxfordshire and lived there till the age of 101, on his own after her death in 1981, but sustained by a devoted home help. He is survived by a family of exceptionally wide-ranging talents, from nuclear physics and music to robotics, mathematics and oceanography.Bertram Schofield, palaeographer and musicologist: born Southport 13 June 1896; Assistant Keeper of Manuscripts, British Museum, 1922-47, Deputy Keeper 1947-56, Keeper 1956-61; CBE 1959; married 1928 Edith Thomas (died 1981; one son, two daughters); died Oxford 15 May 1998.. Though he was a tolerable shot, he could see to aim a rifle properly only out of his left eye, a thing particularly difficult to do with the old bolt-action short- magazine Lee Enfield rifle, and hence was sent to serve in Ireland, an experience he disliked.From 1919 to 1921 he continued his studies in Anglo-French legal and constitutional history at the Sorbonne, the Ecole des Chartes and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes, which left him with an abiding love for France, and then returned to study in Cambridge, before joining the Department of Manuscripts in 1922.His greatest single achievement was during the Second World War when he was acting as liaison officer with Inter- Services Intelligence and found in the bookstacks of the Reading Room of the museum vol xxxv of the Bulletin de la Societe Prehistorique Francaise, 1938, which gave a “most detailed description of a clay patch on the beach at Luc-sur-Mer near Caen”, as noted by Chester Wil-mot in his The Struggle for Europe, 1952. A good relationship with Francis did not prevent Schofield standing up with vigour for the interests of the Department of Manuscripts, and there is a perhaps apocryphal tale of an occasion when he was said to have remonstrated forcibly and somewhat uncharacteristically with the director with the words “Don’t be a bloody fool, Frank.”!He did not have an entirely easy ride as keeper, and was saddened by the suicide of one of his colleagues and the divorce of two others, and though almost all his staff were easy, one or two, now dead, were not, and one of these indeed verged on the paranoiac. He went to Liverpool University from University School, Southport, secured a First in History and then became Charles Beard Fellow and later a University Fellow.In 1917 he joined the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry.
He was a wise delegator, and handed over the task of editing the Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts in the British Museum, traditionally undertaken by the keeper, to his senior deputy keeper, who raised the standard of editing to an intimidatingly high level.Before ever he came to the museum, Schofield was marked down for success. He was responsible for acquiring the Tregian Anthology of Italian and for identifying the compiler as being that of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book.Yet he took no narrow view of what should be acquired, and was equally keen on adding manuscripts of such composers as Elgar, Holst and Vaughan Williams, as well as modern literary and historical MSS.On taking office in 1956, he had to mend a few fences, for his immediate predecessor, a genial and charming man once released from the cares of office, found it hard to cope with the responsibilities of being keeper and had allowed this to affect his relationships with his colleagues in the department and elsewhere in the museum.No doubt it helped that Schofield, though some years older, had been at Liverpool University and Emmanuel College, Cambridge, not long before the then Keeper of Printed Books and subsequent director of the museum, Sir Frank Francis, in the days when the museum still had its own directors. He was a quiet but highly effective manager, and could correct a colleague without giving the faintest offence.
Though he held office as keeper only for six years – recalled by one of his staff as the happiest six years of his service in the museum – the acquisitions Schofield made included medieval manuscripts from Holkham and illuminated manuscripts from the Dyson Perrins collection. These were by no means the only examples of his skill in acquiring desirable items, especially in the field of music MSS, at a time when the funds available for acquisitions were far smaller than they later became.
In painting for Michael Jackson, David Nordahl discovered the King of Pop’s unglamorous side.
The Palestinian leader must have known what the likely consequences of this were going to be.On the other hand, he did not have much choice. Mr Arafat’s ability to survive political disasters is due to the fact that he never moves far from the mainstream of Palestinian public opinion. Over the last year there were no suicide attacks for two reasons: Hamas was savagely repressed by Mr Arafat’s security men, and ordinary Palestinians were against more bombs After Har Homa this changed. Danny Rubenstein, an acute observer of Palestinian politics for the daily Haaretz, says: “It wasn’t Arafat who gave Hamas the green light, but the broad public in the West Bank and Gaza, which urged Hamas to take action.”This means that the Palestinian leader’s position is stronger than it looks. If anything goes wrong – and Gaza and the West Bank are currently sealed off by Israel, crippling their economies – then it will be because of policies that most Palestinians supported. Mr Arafat’s position is also sustained by a certain balance of power, though deeply unstable, between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel clearly has military superiority, but after the start of the Intifada in 1987 it had difficulty in holding on to the occupied territories in the face of Palestinian resistance. Israeli desire to end this confrontation produced the Oslo accords.Once its troops had left most of Gaza and the main population centres of the West Bank in 1994-95, Israel had no choice but to rely on Mr Arafat for its security. The only alternative would be to reinvade the Palestinian enclaves. But this would mean a much wider war, with heavy Israeli casualties. There is no consensus for such a prolonged confrontation in Israel. Mr Netanyahu did not win the election last year by promising to tear up Oslo.
Instead his winning slogan was “peace with security”, and a pledge to voters that this could be achieved without substantial territorial concessions to the Palestinians.Many of Mr Netanyahu’s problems stem from his attempt to deliver on his electoral promises. He says that he will not accept a Palestinian state, but envisages something more on the lines of Andorra (this ignores the fact that Mr Arafat already has 40,000 men under arms). This Palestinian state of Andorra will be a peculiar place, capable of stopping everybody from Hamas suicide bombers to rioting schoolboys, but otherwise happy to exist within the boundaries of impoverished cantons, bisected by Israeli settlements and roads.The previous Israeli government realised that they could not have their cake and eat it Mr Arafat was never going to be their tame policeman Nor would he have lived very long if he had tried. Optimists in Jerusalem comfort themselves with the thought that Mr Netanyahu has no alternative to Oslo.
They are probably right, but there is little sign that he knows that. Instead he has stopped the peace process at a fatal half-way house so neither Israel nor the Palestinians fully control the West Bank. And as friction between the two increases, the way has inevitably opened for the return of the suicide bomber.. There was a glimpse yesterday of a different, older, grander, Conservatism. The bright young suits at Central Office admit freely to having echoed their predecessors of a generation ago with a souped-up version of the slogan which helped Harold Macmillan to a landslide in 1959 “Britain is booming. Don’t let Labour blow it,” is a conscious translation into Saatchi-ese of “Life’s better under the Conservatives.
Don’t let Labour ruin it.”
The 1997 slogan is not risk-free. It uses a dangerous word; research shows that some voters, invited to free associate about the word “boom” in the manner of TV game shows, automatically come up with “bust”. It requires the same electors who were told that the recession was caused by world factors beyond the control of the British government to believe that the recovery is entirely of that same government’s making. It starkly exposes the fact that the tax argument isn’t what it was in 1992: the Tories cannot promise to reduce the overall tax burden in the lifetime of the next Parliament any more than Labour can.

Eat your heart out, Pickering.l The capture of a record-breaking 53lb 15oz carp sent angling publications into a frenzy, and one paid a rumoured pounds 1,000 for the captor’s story – probably the first example of chequebook journalism in angling. But just to show that God goes fishing, last week the same fish was caught again, weighing 55lb 6oz. The latest captor, Alex White, is said to be miffed that his new record attracted only a pounds 250 bid. A couple of years ago, I fished in Maine with the owner of a huge outdoor complex and his bass partner, who mended trucks Addicts? I’ll say. This $5 tome contains nearly 500 pages, and Bass Pro shops are huge.
Their Missouri branch has a 150,000 sq ft showroom, while the Atlanta store includes a 40ft aquarium so anglers can observe bass feeding habits. Bass are amusing enough, but like triple X-rated movies and cheap wine, they are not something a gentleman spends a lot of time and money on.”I, however, consider largemouths right up there with trout on the scale of respectability and have even been known to quote Russell Chatham [don't ask me] to the effect that, if a bass and trout of equal size were tied tail to tail, the bass would tow that trout clear up to Healdsburg.” This is an American way of saying that bass are stronger.There are six species, but basically anglers are after smallmouth and largemouth bass (somewhat misnamed because even a 3lb smallmouth could engulf your fist without scraping the skin).The bass fan club can best be gauged from an annual catalogue issued by Bass Pro Shops. A fish every 100 seconds might seem a great many to catch in five hours, but Pickering is perhaps the most adept angler in Britain at catching large numbers quickly He once caught 14 fish, admittedly tiny ones, in a minute. In the US, however, top-line fishers would have greeted such arm-aching exertions with amusement. After all, they compete for purses of $50,000 or more and can win with just one fish, as long as it’s the biggest.
Such rewards have generated a professional circuit and each year, one event offers a staggering $1m top prize.You might suppose that salmon or perhaps trout would be their quarry But no. More than half of America’s 56m fishers put freshwater or black bass at the top of the pile. So what’s the appeal? Even ardent trouters admit that bass are something special.

The Tour de France manages to be both a national festival and ruthlessly competitive event, while the Melbourne Cup horse race in Australia, or the baseball World Series in America remain uncompromised by worries about social or sartorial codes and are much more enjoyable as sporting fixtures for that reason.The summer season of English sport, however, remains dogged by imperial nostalgia, snobbery, frantic role-playing, posturing and, yes, persistent failure. It seemed entirely apt, then, that while our rugby players were capitulating to France and our cricketers were crumbling to the West Indies, John “warm beer” Major was running the white underpants of surrender up the mast.Another vein of nostalgia was opened up this week when Havant District Council announced that it was considering a ban on “street football” in order to prevent general rowdiness and damage to gardens. The notion was soon put around that such a ban, if applied nationwide, would seal off the well-spring of our youthful footballing talent.Such traditionalists as Tommy Docherty and Bob Wilson were encouraged to reminisce at how their own skills were honed on bomb-sites and street corners, dodging Hovis delivery bikes and whippets, and kicking the withered shell of a tennis ball against a garage door. After the Denmark event, a spokesman for Imperial Tobacco said, with gritted teeth: “Embassy is thrilled to pay out the biggest prize in angling.” Undoubtedly it took the precaution of insuring against the unlikely event of anyone breaking the record.
Pickering’s haul comprised 170 bream, four roach and four perch. Earlier this year, it forked out pounds 147,000 for Stephen Hendry’s maximum 147 televised break at the world snooker championship.

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – The title character of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” doesn’t actually appear until the second scene.But the producers of this new Donmar Warehouse production, running through December 6 at New York’s Broadhurst Theater, are canny enough not to wait to give the audience what it wants.The first thing we see is star Jude Law, cutting a dashing image as the melancholy Dane as he strikes a dramatic pose and waits for the inevitable shrieks and applause to die down.Fortunately, director Michael Grandage allows no further such pandering to infect his compelling production that, judging by the profusion of young women in attendance, should provide a terrific introduction to Shakespeare for many audience members drawn mainly by the presence of its charismatic star.

They all led explosive offensives this season, making defenses shake in their boots. The Most Surprising Team2008 had teams that you wouldn’t expect to do much, actually make some noise in the BCS. They can really distract a pitcher once on putting more odds in the favor of the two beasts to follow. What better recipe for success than a speedster on base with an ogre or two to follow, all the while the frustration of knowing about the speed on base and the fear of pitching to two lock hall of fame batters.A pitcher might just wet himself before he finished the second inning. Back to the men themselves Think realistically here Manny Ramirez is a New York Yankee.

“They need good quality service and I’m talking Alan Hinton, John Robertson-type,” he said. “We lost five players at the end of last season and bought two and the coaching staff said they were short last season as it was.”In a week that saw Dutch football highlight the inadequacies of the British game it is ironic that the first casualty in the shake-up could be Glenn Helder, who was Graham’s last signing. Whether or not it was the indignation of being overtaken in the league by Spurs, but the Arsenal manager, Bruce Rioch, was talking in terms of a major overhaul at Highbury on Saturday after watching his side scramble a point against a Chelsea team whose own rebuilding programme looks well on the way. After all, this week saw the granting of pounds 23m from the Millennium Commission which will be used to transform Hampden Park from its drab state to Scottish football’s field of dreams. Eighty-seven minutes spent deservedly second best until Lee Dixon’s bolt from the blue left Rioch to reflect: “There’s more work that needs to be done here than people imagine.”
The previous incumbent,Rioch said , had spoken of the need to rebuild just prior to his departure and he was not about to disagree.The club may have a tradition for producing their own but if Arsenal are to maintain the level of success they enjoyed under George Graham, Rioch’s transfer involvement is unlikely to stop at the pounds 13m he spent during the summer.Rioch is known to be bitterly dissatisfied with the service – particularly from the flanks – supplied to the front men and his own signing, David Platt, whose goal-scoring potential, he said, was not being properly exploited because of it.
Substitutes not used: Davison (gk), Patterson.Referee: S Lodge (Barnsley).Sending-off: Bolton: Bergsson (76). Bookings: QPR: McDonald, Hateley; Bolton: Fairclough, Curcic.Man of the match: Curcic.Attendance: 11,456..

Substitute not used: Wilkins.Bolton Wanderers (5-3-2): Branagan; Green, Fairclough, Bergsson, Taggart, Phillips; Curcis, Todd (McAnespie, 84), Sellars; DeFreitas, McGinlay. The move paid off within seven minutes as Gallen came deep, fed Trevor Sinclair whose long cross to Hateley earned the header down that Impey gratefully converted.Bolton remain watchable – and bottom. Rangers, scrapping around in midfield and picking up the pieces off Hateley, moved out of the relegation zone.
Ray Wilkins again left himself out and Simon Osborn, who answered Hateley’s prompt with a 20-yard shot for his first Rangers goal, was – to his palpable frustration – substituted midway through the second half. But the acquisition of a Premiership-quality goal-hanger is a pressing need.While Bolton place justifiable faith in the guile and thrust of Sellars and Curcic, QPR eschewed the use of a midfield creator for too long. There was an almost celebratory tone to the Endsleigh expectations of QPR supporters writing in A Kick Up The R’s bemoaning the departure of “Leslie” Ferdinand. After his ring-rusty successor Mark Hateley had, however, set up two goals for a first victory in 10 weeks – the last, not altogether surprisingly, came at Bolton – it was the visitors who were left dusting off their Endsleigh road maps.
Bolton, despite some excellent passing movements, have lost direction on their Premiership travels and are yet to gain so much as a point away from Burnden Park this season.The introduction of two class acts in midfield will bolster their cause, with a typically penetrating run from the Serbian Sasa Curcic setting up Scott Sellars, the erstwhile Newcastle United playmaker, to lash a 20-yard shot in off the post for an equaliser.

“He will make mistake after mistake and keep giving everything he’s got,” Merrington said.”A bit harsh,” Harry Redknapp observed wryly. “But he does make the odd mistake without letting it worry him He has been a tremendous signing for us for pounds 150,000. Bishop, to his credit, was as calm and constructive as anyone, but it was a former Southampton player – albeit of a subtly different style from Le Tissier – who emerged with much of the credit for their late but successful recovery.Even the compliments paid to a player like Iain Dowie tend to be of the back-handed variety. Ian Bishop got the crucial touch, however, steering his header into his own net.After that, it was a matter of whether the Hammers could redress that wrong. He came to see me about it and we’ve taken one source of pressure off him.”Floating between the front line and midfield, Le Tissier showed enough of his inimitable skill to raise hopes that allowing Barry Venison to lead the side out as well as doing most of the shouting will work out well for all concerned.He also had the satisfaction of flighting in the corner that produced a goal, comically against the run of play, that put the Saints ahead midway through the first half. Dave Merrington was as close to anger as he gets over reports before this match that he had taken a sabre to Matthew Le Tissier’s captaincy epaulettes.

PRISTINA (Reuters) – Vice President Joe Biden received a tumultuous welcome in Kosovo on Thursday just hours after leaving Serbia where thousands of police kept streets empty to avoid anti-American protests.
World | Barack ObamaThe contrasting welcomes on a three-day tour of the Balkans highlighted both warm Kosovar feelings for the United States which has supported its independence, and the still uneasy relations between Serbia and Washington.”Welcome and Thank You,” said posters across Pristina, showing pictures of Biden, a former U.S. senator known for his support of Kosovo independence from Serbia.Thousands of schoolchildren lined his route into town, holding up American and Kosovo flags. They cheered wildly as his black limousine passed, and some chanted: “USA, USA.”"The United States and God saved us in 1999. Biden is our man and I came here to see him,” said Shukri Morina, who traveled 30 kilometers (19 miles) to Pristina.In Serbia, police cleared the streets of people who still bitterly remember the NATO 1999 bombing of Belgrade, and some offices were told to keep their windows shut with the curtains drawn. Hundreds of police lined Biden’s route to the airport and even the tarmac itself.Kosovo, where more than 90 percent of its two million people are ethnic Albanians, declared independence last year, but Serbia is suing in an international court, claiming it had no right to do so.International troops still patrol, including about 1,400 from the United States. Over the past decade the international community has given billions of dollars in aid to landlocked Kosovo, the Balkans’ smallest geographic country.”I think the government has made considerable progress in the first year, it’s remarkable,” Biden said in a meeting with Kosovo’s prime minister and president. “The United States has made it clear that the recognition of Kosovo is irreversible.”Unemployment is still very high and crime and corruption remain serious.
With several European Union countries refusing to recognize Kosovo, it is the only Balkan country without any EU prospects at present.”We have given our commitments to continue good governance, transparency, rule of law and fight corruption,” said Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci. Biden’s visit “is a reconfirmation of powerful support from the U.S. for the progress that we have achieved in Kosovo.”CHURCH DISPUTETo highlight American support for the rights of the ethnic Serb minority, Biden plans to visit the 14th century Decani monastery, one of the jewels of the Serbian Orthodox Church.But Orthodox Church leaders in Kosovo with jurisdiction over Decani criticized the plans.”The U.S. vice president is visiting Kosovo as an independent state, to confirm the forceful secession of Serbia’s territory and its handover to Albanian terrorists who were not punished for numerous crimes against Serbian people, Serbian property and Serbian cultural and religious heritage,” they said in a press statement.”Does Joseph Biden want to confirm with his gesture that Decani is an American base in Kosovo, the same as camp Bondsteel?” the statement asked, referring to a military base Biden was also to visit on Thursday.(Additional reporting by Fatos Bytyci in Pristina and Branislav Krstic in Decani; Editing by Myra MacDonald) World Barack Obama.
But it is contesting only 11 of the assembly’s 128 seats, most of which are effectively allotted in advance under Lebanon’s complex sectarian power-sharing system.Amal may win a bigger number, with overall victory for the bloc dependent on how Aoun and his Christian allies perform.POSTURING OVER UNITY GOVERNMENT”The election swing will be very narrow,” said Shafiq Masri, law professor at the Lebanese University. “So it’s not a choice, it’s a necessity to come back to a national unity government.”The election antagonists, yoked since July in an uneasy broad-based government, have been posturing on the issue.Saad al-Hariri, head of the loose anti-Syrian coalition, has declared he would rather go into opposition if his side loses. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah countered that he “won’t beg” Hariri and company to join a unity government.Nevertheless, Nasrallah is unlikely to favor an overtly partisan cabinet that Western and some Arab countries might cold-shoulder, as they have the Palestinian government led by Hamas, which lies with Hezbollah on the U.S. terrorist list.”The (Hezbollah-led) opposition cannot deal with the outside world if it insists on ruling alone,” Masri said.A detente in Syrian-Saudi ties has already defused tensions in Lebanon in recent months Continued regional calm as U.S. He saw Suleiman as lynchpin of a bloc that has “good relations with Syria, growing security relations with the West and a civil relationship with Hezbollah.”FURY AT SYRIA LOSING RELEVANCE?Hariri’s candidates may find less potency in the anti-Syrian rallying cry that helped them win the 2005 election. The vote took place soon after Syrian troops quit Lebanon amid an outcry over the killing of Saad’s statesman father, Rafik al-Hariri.Syria is no longer shunned by the West and won some approval in the past year by forging diplomatic ties with Lebanon for the first time since the two countries gained independence.While few expect Damascus to re-implant a military presence in Lebanon, an election win for its allies would reinforce its political — and perhaps security — influence in its neighbor.This could spell difficulties ahead for the international tribunal set up to try Hariri’s killers. Last month the court ordered the release of four pro-Syrian Lebanese generals held for nearly four years, citing lack of evidence to indict them.The likeliest election outcome may be a messy compromise, heralding a return to traditional Lebanese politics that might ensure temporary stability but defer any serious reform.”They have tried to take on the radical elements, including Hezbollah, and they have lost,” Makdissi said of Hariri’s bloc.”The political class is ready to settle back into their hibernation of making money and milking the state of all its resources, so services and social issues continue to suffer.”The wild card, Makdissi argued, is Aoun, the former scourge of Syria now allied with Hezbollah.
