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.

Between points, she has the proud posture and slow strut of a Bluebell Girl. Now she is free to be as tough on herself, the new French self, as she wants. Given her background, the phrase “adopted country” must have special meaning for Pierce.Her almost ceremonious sense of style helps her fit in. Since her appearance in last year’s French Open final she has begun speaking French at home.It is part of the making-over of Mary Pierce, just like the nimbler footwork and new thoughtfulness on court. Her father, Jim Pierce, was notoriously hard on his American daughter and so spectacularly obstreperous in general that he is now banned from the women’s tour.
What began as a tactical option for the Pierces has become Mary’s personal choice.She hopes to increase the two or three months a year she spends here and is looking for a two-bedroomed flat within easy reach of Roland Garros. Who worried about Picasso’s accent and passport when he was admitted into the modern French Pantheon?And after all, Pierce’s mother, Yannick, is of Parisian stock – her family lived in the southern suburbs – and the player herself – she was born in Montreal and brought up in the States – has now committed to her third nationality. She’s got to be French.”The French can be culturally unforgiving but they have always been alert to chances of imported glory. They’ve been annexing artistes for years and granting them the honorary citizenship accorded to high talent. “Is she Mary Pierce or Marie Peeairse?” He then concluded: “She is elegant She is bright. If you cannot talk back on a TV talk show you are a non-starter, but her advisers have clearly decided to meet the issue head-on. On a Canal Plus programme last week Pierce made her entry in a big American convertible and then implored Antoine de Caunes, “Just remember to slow your questions down a bit for me”.”Is this young lady French or not?” De Caunes queried.
Sports stars are not noted for verbal fluency but a foreign accent still stands out.
A year ago, Pierce’s French was as shaky as her on-court tactical sense. They have both shown marked progress but there is still room for improvement. Homecomings are subtle affairs if you hold three passports – American, Canadian and French – and your mastery of the language of Moliere remains incomplete.

They then needed just five ends to wrap up victory with a 7-1 win in the next.Also through to the quarter-finals are Scotland’s Graham Robertson and Mark McMahon.
They won the last two sets to beat off a strong challenge from Greg Harlow and Mervyn King, of England. Harlow and King recovered from 5-1 down to take the opening set 7-6, lost the second 7-5 but moved ahead again with a 7-3 win in the next.The Scots found themselves in what appeared to be a hopeless position when they trailed 2-5 in the fourth set, but a double followed by a three saw them take the set 7-5 and they went on to clinch victory with a 7- 4 win in the decider.. After all, it’s a world title we are playing for.”The Scots recovered from 5-2 down in the opening set and, despite losing the second, pushed themselves back into the driving seat with a 7-5 win in the third. The final match, between Scotland’s David Miller and Hugh Duff and Australia’s Steve Glasson and Ian Taylor, eventually finished at 2.45 yesterday morning, with the Scots winning 7-6, 1-7, 7-5, 7-1.Duff, the former world indoor singles champion, was critical of the organisation.

Kim Kardashian pigs out for her birthday.
Back home, I read the small print in the E111 handbook, called Health Advice for Travellers. Frances’s condition improved with the prescribed gel, but fever, measles and chickenpox never did appear.Misdiagnosis can happen anywhere, but it is galling to have to pay for it – and this was emergency care for a child. After this charade, we were ushered back to the receptionist, who presented me with a bill for 5,000 pesetas. A quick whip-round revealed we possessed even less cash than I had thought.
In the end, our hosts accepted a British cheque made out for 6,000 pesetas.We chased through town to find a pharmacy before its habitual four-hour siesta and raced north, catching the train with 10 minutes to spare. “Sometimes they come back,” he said.He prescribed medicine to quell Frances’s non-existent fever and a soothing gel, telling me to watch out for spots appearing in her mouth. But the doctor, engrossed in his medical translation manual, emerged triumphantly with “chickenpox!” I assured him Frances had already had it, but neither this information nor the fact that her current malaise in no way resembled chickenpox could deter him. “No, but…”He tried a different tack – what about Windpocken? Wind is the German for wind and pocken means spots, so I agreed and started to explain about the prickly heat. He looked in her eyes, tapped her back and listened while she said “aaah” Then he asked me if she had had measles “Measles?” I repeated disbelievingly. I presumed he had been overwhelmed by humanitarian feelings.In his darkened surgery, the doctor (a German) took Frances to an electronic dentist-style examination chair. The cost of an appointment would be 6,000-8,000 pesetas (pounds 31 to pounds 41.) Medicines would be extra.I showed her my E111, but she wasn’t impressed.
All Spanish doctors were private these days, she asserted, adding with audible disdain that there was some social security, but we would have to travel miles to find out about it It was nearly midday and we had a train to catch. We turned to leave, but the receptionist ran after us – apparently the doctor would see us now. The receptionist asked a few questions (“name?” “fever?”) and we lifted Frances’s T-shirt to show the blotchy marks.Would it be free? “Oh no,” said the receptionist. We applied a cold flannel, but as we set off to catch thetrain, our patient got worse.Luckily, there was a surgery outside the camp-site, and it was open I marched in with my wailing daughter, waving my E111 form.
As we were about to leave the camp-site, seven-year-old Frances started screaming and scratching her chest, which was red and raw. I recognised the symptoms of prickly heat, an intense form of sun-induced itching.Cool baths help, but symptoms can take days to clear Standard medical treatments involve antihistamine tablets. This should have been enough preparation for a week in the Costa Brava, but I had not reckoned on the vagaries of applying documents to real life.Our holiday was uneventful, medically speaking, until the last day. I had travel insurance, Green Card, bail bond and even my toothbrush. Briefly, this means that free or reduced-cost emergency medical treatment should be available when you travel in the new European Economic Area (EEA) – EU states, plus Austria, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.I had my E111. A staggering 6 million trips abroad (about 20 per cent) are taken without travel insurance.

Partly as a diversion from the usual Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Romantic poets, but also to explore other forms of writing, our teacher handed out copies of Whitehorn’s Observer piece for us to analyse. Vivid and funny, “Sluts” was already 11 years old then, but it still read as though Whitehorn had penned it the previous week. From then on I not only devoured everything Whitehorn wrote, but also I knew I had to be a journalist. It might also have been a moment of premonition, for after encountering “Sluts” again in this collection of women’s journalism, I find that Whitehorn’s descriptions of sluttish behaviour – being late, losing things, running out of clean clothes and having to employ cleaners to keep life in order – have all come horribly true.

Erica Jong on the mystery of the Clintons’ marriage, and why they are utterly conventional rather than revolutionary; Marie Colvin on the paradox that was Yasser Arafat; Gitta Sereny on the pity and the horror of the killing of Jamie Bulger: they are all insightful, intelligent and well worth reading again.

For the threemonths ended March 31, 2009, cost of sales were $2.1 million forapproximately 3,400 ounces of gold sold at an average cost of $604 perounce of gold. There were nocomparable sales of precious metals in the same period of 2008.Cost of sales consist of mining and process costs, together withstripping costs that are variable costs of production. The increase in theconsolidated net loss of $0.7 million is largely due to $2.1million ofcosts attributable to sales, $3.9 million of stripping costs, a loss of$1.5 million attributable to the change in fair value of equity linkedfinancial instruments and an increase in depreciation and amortization of$0.4 million, partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in explorationand land holding costs and $3.2 million of revenue from gold and silversales.During the first quarter of 2009, the Company sold 3,399 ounces of goldat an average price of $926 per ounce for $3.1 million and approximately4,375 ounces of silver for approximately $0.055 million. The program exceeded management’s expectations,expanding the oxide and sulfide, gold and silver resources at Hycroftsignificantly.

News of the shooting reached Washington just as President Bill Clinton and his wife were preparing to travel to Colorado to commemorate the one- month anniversary of the multiple killings at Columbine High School with pupils, teachers and parents.Twelve pupils and a teacher were killed and eight pupils seriously injured when two senior boys detonated home-made bombs and sprayed the school canteen with gunfire, before shooting themselves. The investigation is still in progress and the school was so badly damaged that pupils are completing the academic year in neighbouring premises.Mr Clinton said the new incident was “deeply troubling” and “should underscore how profoundly important it is that all Americans come together in the face of these events to protect all our children from violence”. Citing the national campaign against youth violence that he and Mrs Clinton had inaugurated at a White House forum 10 days before, he said: “We have got to do this.”Mr Clinton, who had been advised not to go to Littleton until the first shock had been dulled, was expected to couple his characteristic heart- to-heart with the victims and their families with fresh pleas for tighter gun controls. One effect of the Littleton killings, where two teenagers had been able to amass a veritable arsenal, had been to put the powerful US gun lobby on to the defensive and galvanise gun control advocates in the Democratic Party to push for stricter firearms regulation.The new shooting incident came as the Senate was preparing for its eighth straight day of debate on additional gun controls and speeded what had been an impassioned argument towards a conclusion. By mid-day, the Senate had completed the last two votes on a package of new restrictions on gun purchase and ownership, including the extension of personal background checks to individuals buying guns at gun shows and pawn shops, and the mandatory provision of safety locks on all new handguns.Passage of the final amendment provided a moment of consummate political theatre (and deft political management by the Democrats) as Vice-President Al Gore used his casting Senate vote to break a tie.
Mr Gore has rarely used his vice-presidential prerogative to preside over the Senate, but he arrived at the chamber yesterday to take the chair after the White House apparently anticipated the closeness of the vote. After announcing the vote was 50-50, he said: “The Vice-President votes in the affirmative”, and banged his gavel.With his presidential campaign off to a slow start, the occasion provided Mr Gore with a compelling clip for his presidential campaign video. It also gave him an opportunity to present himself as a champion of “the children and families” and a foe of “the easy availability of guns” – issues uppermost in the minds of voters.While hailed by their supporters as evidence of an historic shift in opinion on firearms, however, the new controls – which were framed as amendments to an existing juvenile crime Bill – had been exceptionally hard fought, with southern and rural Republicans resisting every inch of the way. During more than a week of fractious debate, the balance of advantage had swung to and fro by the hour and Mr Clinton had used his White House pulpit first to shame, then to scold, and then to commend the Senate for its action.And as Republicans were quick to point out, the new restrictions will not necessarily prevent shootings like those at Littleton and yesterday at Conyers, which both bear striking similarities to fatal school shootings elsewhere in the US over the past 18 months. All the schools were high- achieving suburban schools in expanding, predominantly white suburban areas. The gun-toting pupils were seen by their contemporaries as “outsiders” and several had previously threatened suicide, murder, or both.As in the earlier incidents, the pupil allegedly responsible for the Conyers shooting – as yet unnamed because he is a juvenile – was regarded as a quiet loner and had already threatened suicide. A girl who knew him was quoted as saying: “When they saw it was him, they weren’t surprised.”.
IN AN embarrassing setback for the Walt Disney Company, a judge in California has ruled that the media giant was in breach of agreement with its former film boss, Jeffrey Katzenberg, when it withheld his bonus when he left the company in 1994, two years before the end of his contract. The decision, issued in a seven-page written statement by the retired Superior Court judge Paul Breckenridge, does not mark the end of the long- running and often bitter battle between Mr Katzenberg and Disney which has enthralled Hollywood. It has been viewed as the ultimate display of personal animus and greed in the topmost reaches of the entertainment industry Some have dubbed it “Katz vs. Mouse”.
Mr Katzenberg, who deserted the Disney ship to help to form the Dreamworks SKG studio with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, claims that the company owes him $250m. The money would represent 2 per cent of earnings from all Disney products created during his four- year tenure there, including films such as The Lion King, and Aladdin, as well as spin-offs such as T-shirts, masks and games.Judge Breckenridge, appointed to arbitrate in the dispute, has yet to rule on how much Disney will have to pay. But he agreed with Mr Katzenberg that he is owed compound interest on the undelivered sum. That interest could amount to tens of millions of dollars if the full $250m is awarded.The judge, who also cleared Disney on some other points of contention, steered clear of the personal conflict between Mr Katzenberg and his erstwhile superior at Disney, Michael Eisner, which has frequently bubbled through testimony.

What’s more, Mercedes wisely withdrew the car from all competition after the incidents, so they clearly weren’t blind to the dangers.The biggest mistake in racing history is one that can have absolutely no justification, no redeeming factor, and most importantly, not even look on the surface like an intelligent decision.And there is only one moment in racing that fits the profile.

Letterman confessed he had sex with staffers and was targeted by extortionist.
It bore the banner: “Don’t look over your shoulder but the Sex Pistols are coming.” It was a sign of things to come.Things really started happening during that year’s summer heat wave. Malcolm had left Vivienne and moved into a small flat in Bell Street off Lisson Grove with Helen Wellington Lloyd, a South African with whom he had had a brief fling when they were at Goldsmith’s art college. Her flat became the band office, where we spent afternoons sticking bits of paper, photographs and letters together to make the Sex Pistols handbills which were photocopied and distributed in Kensington Market and along the King’s Road.I, meanwhile, had been forced to move out of the comfortable house in Richmond that I had been living in and found myself instead in the stinking rehearsal studio in Denmark Street, which I shared with Steve Jones. We lived on stolen food – baked beans, baked beans and more baked beans – while by night Steve would drop black bombers to stay up all night practising guitar. I discovered that Jones was, among other things, a sex maniac. Once, having locked him out of the flat, I looked up from the bed in which I myself was having sex to see Jones’s desperate face pressed against the studio window.
I was shocked not so much because he was watching as because we were on the first floor.It was at about this time that we became friendly with a professional dominatrix called Linda who lived opposite Scotland Yard We started staying at her luxury pad. It was clean, there were no mice running around as there were in Denmark Street, nor was the toilet outside and permanently clogged. Before he became a Pistol, Rotten’s friend Sid Vicious also liked to stay at Linda’s, and there were also working girls who seemed to enjoy cavorting with budding young rock stars and their tour manager. Over time, most of the walls became covered with graffiti, and all of the delicate furniture was broken.The sexual liberation promised in the Sixties came of age in the Seventies. Pre-Aids, it seemed impolite to refuse the offer of a shag and, not wishing to offend anyone, I did my bit: in toilets, in clubs or on the floor of the studio, in back alleys, with the girlfriends of my best friends and with complete strangers. Everybody seemed to be shagging everybody, particularly Steve Jones.
Yet, despite the fact that Rotten was “the face” and could have had anyone, he didn’t have anybody. The juxtaposition between the asexual Rotten, who was repressed and full of Catholic guilt, and the nob on legs, Steve Jones, who would literally bang anything, contributed a great deal to the group’s bizarre character. Rotten’s most passionate song, “Bodies”, is a testament to his attitude towards sex at that time.And then there was speed, lots of speed. The poor man’s cocaine kept us going as well as thin, because if you weren’t thin you didn’t have a prayer. Unfortunately, the police found some sulphate on Rotten that summer while we were walking through Soho and he was carted off to the local nick, booked and subsequently fined.Malcolm, appropriately, set up a gig at Chelmsford prison. We were quite wary when we drove into the prison compound: there was always the possibility that we wouldn’t get out. Once on stage, however, the group didn’t tone down their performance one bit.
Rotten ridiculed the cons for getting caught and cast aspersions on their sexuality It became very tense. But gradually an understanding developed between the group, who would soon become public enemy number one, and their captive audience. They started to laugh, taunt and heckle each other in a good-humoured way, each faction enjoying taking its frustrations out on the other.By the end of the summer we had been dubbed “punks”, which inspired Ron Watts, manager of the 100 Club, to put on a Punk Festival, which was to run over two nights. There weren’t enough punk groups to fill a two-day bill, so Siouxsie was encouraged to form a band for the first night, which the Sex Pistols were headlining.
Sid Vicious was enrolled as drummer, Steve Severin played bass and Marco Pirroni was on guitar. The following evening the Clash headlined, supported by the Damned and Chris Spedding. Sid was arrested for, allegedly, throwing a glass which shattered and blinded a young girl in one eye. Although we were doing a provincial date at the time, we were banned from the 100 Club.By November we had our own television special, on the London Weekend Show, featuring interviews with the prime movers in the punk scene as well as footage of the Sex Pistols at Nÿtre Dame Hall in Leicester Square. We had also appeared on Tony Wilson’s So It Goes show in September, which resulted in Rotten exchanging insults with Clive James and me throwing chairs across the stage and trying to rip off Jordan’s clothes (that footage was censored in the broadcast) It would be Clive James’s last dalliance with youth culture. We felt we were sorting the wheat from the chaff.The press came thick and fast, and by December the Sex Pistols were signed to EMI and we were all put on wages.
