“Of course I couldn’t say for certain that the water caused my hip problems. We’ll never know for certain the cause of what happened to any of us,” he said.Another man who feels what happened played a role in subsequent ill-fortune is Ray Bowler, 50, of Trebarwith Strand, who was a successful Camelford hotelier and restaurateur at the time. “I owned a 13-bedroomed hotel and two restaurants and lost them all in the wake of Camelford,” he said. “Obviously there were a number of contributing factors but a lack of focus and losing all motivation was a major factor.”I was making tea when I noticed the water was a rusty colour and tasted foul. I spat it out and the whole family started drinking bottled water but once we were told the tap water was safe I began using it again.”Mr Bowler now suffers from acute liver problems “I am very suspicious of this latest announcement It’s too little and miles too late. People have been so abused by the legal and medical professions that residents are sceptical of anything official,” he said.Carole Wyatt, 57, a former home help, is convinced the new inquiry will be a whitewash.
“I am devastated that a public inquiry is not being held,” she said. “I suffered terrible stomach cramps and headaches and had numerous tests but was not allowed to see a copy of my medical records.”Quiet by accident I eventually saw them. They showed my aluminium, copper and lead levels were way above normal, but written across my notes was a statement saying, ‘Tell the patient her levels are normal’.” Still suffering from memory loss, lack of balance and joint pains, Mrs Wyatt claims she was forced to accept £4,000 in compensation as an all-or- nothing payment.”There offered me a measly £4,000, which I had to take. There has been a massive cover-up and we are still waiting for answers.
I would not be surprised if things got swept under the carpet yet again,” she said.Joining her in her doubts was June Hills, 62, a former resident of Camelford who claims she still suffers from joint pain, headaches, mouth ulcers, nose sores and general exhaustion. “There are hundreds of others like me with their own horror stories to tell,” she said. “The whole town would drag themselves around feeling lethargic and exhausted.”All we have ever asked for is a full public-health inquiry … But the news of this inquiry was given at such short notice that no one was prepared.”People are very sceptical and have washed their hands of the affair. We are now appealing for people to come forward and say what problems they have suffered, but this will be hard because we have been accused of lying for so many years.”There was also a more sophisticated take on yesterday’s announcement. Nigel Jones, 51, who lives in Camelford and is a member of the Lowermoor support group, which represents the victims, feels the Government is playing political chess. “We were also going to take our case to Europe but this inquiry may stop us doing so,” he said.
“The Government is trying to do what is known as time-us-out for taking our case to the European courts.”But subtler analysis or not, Mr Jones has a tale to tell of events 13 years ago like everybody else.”On the day it happened I had a shower and was still half asleep,” he said. “I couldn’t get any lather with the soap and when I got out of the shower my skin rolled off on the towel It just peeled away like sunburn I was quite worried so I had a cup of tea. It tasted awful and then I noticed the water was pale.”Since then Mr Jones has suffered from skin and blister problems, stomach problems, bowel disorders, and a test taken two years after the contamination showed his memory had suffered a 20 per cent loss.”It should have been a full public inquiry,” he said “That was what we wanted.”. There was all to play for in the final stages of the Fastnet Race last night as the leading monohulls fought not only each other, but increasingly tricky conditions.
If Israel has left, why not Syria, too? And then there’s the words of the Taif agreement, that “the Syrian armed forces shall… help the legitimate Lebanese forces to extend the Lebanese state’s authority during a specified time period not exceeding two years…”It’s all there on paper. At the end of this period, the Syrian army and the Lebanese government “shall agree on the redeployment of Syrian forces in the Bekaa, at the entrance to the western Bekaa in Dahr el-Baidur, and down to the Hamana-Mdeirej-Ein Dara line…” That would put Syrian forces 12 miles east of Beirut as the MiG flies And the document was dated 1990. So what happened?Israel’s continued occupation provided one reason why Syria decided to stay. And it was, after all, a Christian Maronite president, Sulieman Franjieh, who first invited the Syrian army into Lebanon in 1976 when the Palestinians seemed ready to annihilate the Christians. A large number of Maronite allies of Syria – including every one of Lebanon’s subsequent presidents – went on demanding a Syrian presence.
Indeed, had they not done so, unkind hearts suggest they might not have been president.So why is every Maronite’s favourite newspaper, the French-language L’Orient Le Jour, now squandering three pages a day on the demand for Syrian withdrawal? Partly, of course, because the Israelis have left. And partly because they suspect that since President Hafez Assad’s death, his son Bachar may not have the stomach to keep his recalcitrant Lebanese allies in check. The problem is that Christian Maronite patriotism – burning fiercely when it demands the removal of Syrian troops – displayed all the courage of a lamb when Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982. Not a single Maronite spoke out against Israel’s killing of up to 17,000 civilians, nor the massacre of up to 2,000 Palestinian civilians in the Beirut camps the same year.
There is no record of a single Maronite joining the Lebanese resistance battle against Israel.But in the last few weeks, the Christians’ civil war antagonist, Walid Jumblatt, leader of Lebanon’s minority Druze community, joined the same campaign. Syrian-Lebanese relations would have to be restructured, he said. Why were the Syrians still in Lebanon? Mr Jumblatt, hitherto one of Syria’s most loyal allies, was curtly informed that he would no longer be a privileged guest in Damascus; he could queue up at the immigration desk on the border with every other Lebanese when he wanted to visit Syria.Mr Jumblatt, a baronial socialist and nihilist, retreated to his castle at Moukhtara in the Chouf mountains and cancelled all public appearances. He was, so it was said, mindful of the fate of his late father Kemal who, at the start of the civil war, offended Damascus and – quite by coincidence, of course – was assassinated shortly afterwards while reading a newspaper in the back of his car as he returned home to Moukhtara.Bachar Assad, who is proving to be a shrewder man than his critics thought, talked about an “open dialogue” with the Lebanese, but his ministers insisted that any questions of a Syrian redeployment would be discussed only with Lebanese officials – all of whom, of course, owe allegiance to DamascusBehind the Maronite calls for withdrawal are the banned Phalange militia party, once Israel’s principal allies in Lebanon. Syria suspects that the Israelis are all too happy to push for a redeployment that would move Syrian troops further from the Lebanese border. Syria’s strategic concern is simple: it never wants Israel to dominate Lebanon as a client kingdom as it did in 1982 when Israeli forces, occupying half the country, stood astride the main Beirut-Damascus highway.Unhappily for Cardinal Sfeir, the French newspaper Libération has just printed a September interview in which the old prelate complained that Lebanon “is neither independent nor sovereign” and “enjoys no liberty of expression”, a view he has apparently modified since Bachar Assad spoke of dialogue.
Mr Jumblatt, meanwhile, remains firmly entrenched behind his battlements and Phoenician sarcophagi at Moukhtara. And Sister Syria, it can safely be said, still loves Lebanon..

Its popularity can be judged by the fact that the amphitheatre is capable of seating 14,000.Performances then would have taken place throughout the day; now they begin near sunset when the heat of a Greek summer slackens. Since the theatre is an important archaeological monument, strict limits are placed on its use – only 16 performances take place each summer, and no food, drink and – the greatest hardship for the nicotine-loving Greeks – cigarettes can be brought in. Cushions were mercifully provided last Friday when the festival opened with a complete performance of Euripedes’ Oresteia, which began at nine o’clock and ran for three and a half hours without an interval (which would have been impractical for the logistical problems of rapidly moving 15,000 people out and in again. The expectant atmosphere in this open-air venue with its pine-scented air and the sound of cicadas was more akin to a football match or bullfight than, say, the Olivier Theatre on London’s South Bank). The production by the National Theatre of Greece with many of the country’s leading actors was directed by Yannis Kokkos.The story of the Oresteia, the only trilogy to survive from antiquity, deals with the bloody later episodes in the story of the house of Atreus, a royal family rivalling the house of Windsor in its dysfunctionality and the ruling house of Nepal in its violence. The first play Agamemnon deals with the victorious return of the leader of the Greeks from Troy to his home in Mycenae (whose ruins lie some 20 miles north-west of Epidauros). He is greeted by his wife Clytemnestra and taken into the palace, where he is slaughtered by her while in his bath, partly in revenge for his sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia, 10 years before to gain favourable winds for the Greek expedition, partly as a result of her adulterous love for Aegisthus, and in part as an agent of the family curse.In the second play, The Libation Bearers, set a few years later Clytemnestra’s son Orestes arrives in Mycenae, is reunited with his sister Electra and kills his mother for her murder of his father.
The Furies, demons outraged at matricide, pursue Orestes from the city. In the final play, the Eumenides, Orestes attempts to purge his guilt at the shrine of the god Apollo at Delphi. Apollo sends him to Athens where he stands trial for his mother’s murder The Furies are the prosecution, Apollo the defence counsel. When the jury of Athenian citizens is tied in their verdict, the goddess Athena cast her vote for his acquital and persuades the Furies to settle in Athens and be worshipped as the “kind goddesses” of the play’s title. The cycle of retributive bloodshed is ended, supplanted by the rule of law and justice of the state.The trilogy was performed in modern Greek and having read the text and armed with a crib I had little difficulty in following the drama.
The most powerful performances were those of the three major women – Clytemnestra, Cassandra and Electra – and strongly contrasted in style. Lydia Koniordou as the murderous adulteress was a type of steely Lady Macbeth, a criminal of great willpower and grandeur. Olia Lazaridou as the captive Trojan pro-phetess Cassandra presented a woman wracked with suffering but nobly resigned in her certain knowledge of her fate. Electra as played by Amalia Moutousi performed in a contemporary style, an adoring daughter deranged by grief for her father.The dramatic concerns of Athenians 2,500 years ago were persuasively and lucidly presented through the meshing of production, performances and setting.
Ancient Greek drama undoubtedly gains from being seen in its proper arena – even though we are far from the original staging. Other plays here this summer include Aristophanes’ comedies, The Clouds and The Knights, Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone and Euripedes’ tragedies, Medea and The Trojan Women. (Next year the Epidauros season will open with Heinrich von Kleist’s Penthesilia directed by Peter Stein.)On the Sunday I saw a performance by the German choreographer Pina Bausch’s company Danztheater Wuppertal in the other magnificent theatre used by the Hellenic Festival: the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on the slopes of the Acropolis in Ath-ens. This was the gift to the city by a philhellenic Roman senator in the second century AD: smaller than Epidauros (it seats 5,000), but with a similar atmosphere.1980: A Piece by Pina Bausch was 20 years old but had been considerably reworked. Its three and a half hour duration had seemed daunting beforehand, but the evening was one of pure delight with none of the expected longeurs. The performance was an elaborate collage of dance, games, comic monologues, magic, illusions, repetition and reworkings. Constantly funny, often poignant, the evening’s themes seemed to be love and loss, the material assembled from the experiences of the 18 amazingly talented and highly individual members of Bausch’s troupe.

Senior officials at the Ministry of Defence were briefed monthly on the progress of this contract by Allivane executives at Whitehall.Documents in the possession of the Independent, and interviews with sources close to the company, reveal that in 1988, while these briefings were taking place, the company ran out of money and the MoD, on the instructions of Lord Younger of Prestwick, then Secretary of State for Defence, took over management of the Saudi contract, ensuring that the parts were shipped on the date the Saudis had set.

After 30 years in the business she had become one of New York’s most beloved actresses.Before that, she had had a stunning success in Arthur Laurents’s romantic comedy The Time of the Cuckoo (1952), as a spinster schoolteacher who has her first, and possibly last, affair with an eye-to-the-main-chance Lothario while on holiday in Venice.William Marchant also wrote Desk Set (1955) for Booth, but in both cases the screen versions were offered to Katharine Hepburn (The Time of the Cuckoo became Summer Madness or Summertime on film).

Housing associations are the so-called providers of social housing for the future, yet in the year Community Care is introduced, the proportion of their budget spent on special needs (the main route of access to housing associations for single people) has been cut.The fact that people who are homeless are 34 times more likely to kill themselves shows starkly how damaging it is to a person’s mental health.People who are vulnerable for health reasons are supposed to be accepted as priority homeless and housed by a local authority.

When did the dream begin? Perhaps when the film awards came to town, during Glasgow’s celebration as European City of Culture 1990. Maybe it was earlier, after seeing its necropolis perched on the skyline in the opening shot of Bertrand Tavernier’s Deathwatch. Nobody knows, and maybe nobody cares – for Glasgow’s vision of itself as a movie- making centre is now a reality
This year, four feature films will be made in the city. Out of the 33 films made north of the border since 1990, eight have been shot in Glasgow.
When you look at the well-preserved Victorian houses of the West End, combined with the commercial centre’s more contemporary buildings – or even the decaying cranes of the docklands – you understand why the city appeals to film-makers.
Glasgow, or parts of it, has been used as a stand-in for many cities, from Moscow in Gorky Park and An Englishman Abroad to the Vatican in Heavenly Pursuits, where the interior of the city’s elegant city chambers was used.The director David Hayman, of Silent Scream fame, considers it “the most cinematic city in the world” His new thriller, The Near Room, is set entirely in Glasgow. “It’s so rich – you can find architectural references to New York, Paris, Moscow, London.” No wonder Scott Rudin, who produced The Firm, is investigating the possibility of using the city to represent period New York.”The people are brilliant, too,” says Shallow Grave’s producer, Andrew McDonald “In Glasgow, the local authorities help you. They want you to make films.” He contrasts this with London, where, Mr McDonald says, co-operation from local authorities is virtually non-existent. “Today’s old people come from a generation that has been taught not to wash their dirty laundry in public,” says Roger Hitchings of Age Concern in Birmingham.An average of four elderly people a month come in to the Birmingham office complaining of physical or sexual abuse Another eight a month talk of financial exploitation. It does not necessarily make it any easier to prosecute people who are suspected of financially or sexually abusing an elderly person,” says Bridget Penhale, vice-chairwoman of Action on Elder Abuse.Nor does the Bill acknowledge how hard it is for old people to admit to themselves that they are being abused, let alone to an outsider from an official-looking organisation. Local authorities would be obliged to protect old people ear-marked “vulnerable” (not able to protect themselves from harm or exploitation). If they are seen to be in immediate danger, a temporary protection order may be obtained from a court, and the person put in a “safe-house” – that is, a hospital, nursing home or residential home.Pressure groups and health workers are glad to see that the Government is taking the maltreatment of elderly people seriously, but feel that the proposed Bill is limited in scope “The draft legislation does not provide permanent solutions.
As on Broadway, Elia Kazan directed him in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), recapturing the animal magnetism of the uncouth, slobbish Stanley Kowalski, and again in Viva Zapata! (1952), in which Brando gave an eloquent account of the Mexican peasant leader.Remembering On the Waterfront in his 1988 memoir, Kazan wrote, “If there is a better performance by a man in the history of film in America, I don’t know what it is.”The decline was gentle at first, as Brando took on a series of contrasting roles: Bonaparte in Desire (1954), a singing Damon Runyon gambler in Mankiewicz’s Guys and Dolls (1955), a Nippon translator in The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956), and the masochistic cowboy in One Eyed Jacks, which he directed himself after quarrelling with Stanley Kubrick.He said in his own autobiography, “I am more surprised at how I turned out than I am about anything else I don’t ever remember trying to be successful.

And super paradises corrupt superbly.Just as the desolation of Delos made that island offer itself as an empty stage for Apollo’s birth and the throngs that came to commemorate it, so Mykonos’s desolation brings people here today. All that clarity of beaches and sea is simply a sign of barrenness. Its seas are like swimming pools because they are uncontaminated by the dirty life of river silts and sea weeds, just dead sand, water and light passing between them unhindered. I saw an old sign pointing beachwards to a place called Plynteria which in modern Greek means “washing-machines” and imagine that for years washing clothes was all these paradise beaches were good for. Plynteria was also the name of a festival where they washed Athena’s clothes, woven with scenes of gigantomachy, and took the goddess herself paddling in the sea, to get rid of all the dirt that had accumulated from fat-smoky lamps burning religiously throughout the year.
During this festival secret rites were performed, all the temples were closed, and nobody did anything, for fear of disaster. It was one of the gloomiest days of the whole year and it was on this day in history that Alcibiades finally returned to Athens after years in exile abroad, sailing into the harbour with all the ships he had captured, music, musicians and poetry Unfortunately on this day Athena’s head was always covered. She could neither see or hear a thing.In 1628 Mykonos was visited by Charles Robson: “a barren iland of small extent some fifteene miles in compasse, wholly inhabited by poore Greeks, having but one, I cannot tell whether to call it, village or town of the same name with the iland, subject to the dominion and spoil of the Turks … the barrennesse of the ile is much helped with the industry of the people, forcing corne out of rocky mountaines, scarce passable for men: yet they continue so poore by reason of the Turkes pillages, that unlesse they were merry Greekes indeed, and would wonder what delight they could take in living .. ” This is why Mykonos is so picturesque. A poor community without the resources for big houses in Venetian, Turkish or French style. The whole population budging up against one another in one remarkably sizeable town, the streets labyrinthine to protect the population from casual marauders.
Low minimal buildings, humble Mykonos, ducking out of history or just ducking, a haven for British spies during the Napoleonic and First World Wars.Most of what Mykonos meant to the ancient world comes from its desolation. It was a tombstone keeping a heavy lid on all those odds and sods of Giants that Hercules swept under it. This myth gave rise to a saying which is Mykonos’s chief claim to fame in antiquity, a saying useful in disarming a careless taxonomist: mia Mykonos, “all under one Mykonos”. I imagine it as one of that elite group of sayings which carry such a weight of world-won wisdom and unexceptionable truth that the briefest incantation stops argument dead in its tracks: “It’s a wise child .. “, “It’s an ill wind … ” “It’s all under one Mykonos.” I imagine sitting in on one of the dialogues Plato imagined and stumping his Socrates with my critique: “What you say is perfectly true, dear friend, but aren’t you putting `all under one Mykonos’ “? The others are silenced by my uncontainable wisdom, end of debate, much nodding then sighing and looking at watches, much wondering suddenly what to do next.The saying implies that the Giants aren’t quite extinct. They seem unhappy being lumped together and struggle against it Only Mykonos keeps them in place.
I note that children were sometimes buried in cities that dead adults were cleared out of. It’s not that in times of high mortality children’s deaths were brushed off lightly – another one bites the dust. It’s quite certain there was much more bereavement, but no evidence parents ever got used to it. Rather, not having lived so much, children didn’t carry so much lost life-force spilling over to haunt the living. And if dead adults had more residual power than dead children, how much more must dead Giants have had.At around five or six-thirty the beach empties. I am by now quite bored to death, again, but I concede that I am being cured of something.
John Travolta, wife reportedly attended Scientology event with Tom and Katie.
Finally, I knew something had happened and I rang the bell and said I’m having the baby The nurse rushed me to the delivery room There was this horrendous pain, then I heard a scream. But years later I said to Helen, when you have a baby, you scream.When I reached the second stage I hung on for ages and I got into a terrible state Still nobody checked me or examined me. I was brought up to be the stiff-upper-lip- type and not to make a fuss or a noise if you were in pain. As far as I was concerned, I was completely alone.I got the impression from the midwives that some women made a lot of fuss in labour and they didn’t like it I thought, I don’t want to be one of these screaming women.
I found out afterwards that they were watching me cold-bloodedly through a glass panel. I didn’t want to make a fuss.At some stage the midwife gave me an injection, which I assume was pethidine She didn’t ask whether or not I wanted it Apart from that they left me for hour upon hour No one checked me; it was up to me to ask for help. My husband could have arranged to stay, too, but they just wouldn’t allow such a thing. In my day you more or less did what you were told in most things. When we got to the hospital I asked the nurse if my mother could stay, but she said no.
In those days you were laid out on slabs to wait so you didn’t waste any of the doctor’s time, he wanted to admit me but the sister said: “What do you want me to do, put two in a bed?” They were very overworked.I went into labour that night, which was fortunate because friends had warned me that the hospital would make me eat castor oil sandwiches.In the morning my husband had to go to work and my mother and I waited for the ambulance. I took it for granted that the hospital would know about these classes and take over from there But I realised too late that there was no connection. I got no support in hospital.I went for a check-up when I was 10 days overdue; our neighbour took me in his rattly old Austin Ruby. I can even remember my sister being born at home when I was three and we lived in a tenement in Dundee, although I can’t remember a terrible noise, so I must have been taken out at some stage.When I was pregnant I went to classes in some relaxation method that was just coming in. She went back to work part time when Helen was three and has since done a variety of administrative jobs.I didn’t have any rosy illusions about childbirth because I can remember my brothers being born when I was a teenager.
And I didn’t make too much fuss.Barbara Davies, 62, gave birth to Helen, her only child, in 1957, when she was 24 and living in Bromsgrove.The experience was bad enough to put her off having any more. That was a good thing, because all the nurses were strangers to me But on the whole the nursing homes were very friendly. During the labour they were always looking in to see you were all right. He examined me and found that the head was out.The family doctor, who used to look in regularly when you were pregnant, always came to the nursing home to deliver the baby. The nurse said to the doctor: “She’s making an awful fuss, she won’t have her bath”. I had been nearly knocked out by a horse and cart earlier in the day and I went into labour very quickly.
You had to sort of grin and bear it alone.The first time I had any pain relief – gas and air – was with my fourth baby. The postman came and said: “Some poor woman’s going through it.” Bill said: “That’s my wife”.I knew the midwife, but not well. But she was such a homely person you just felt it was your mother. I remember her on the bed helping me all she could; she was marvellous, a real comfort.My husband was never allowed to be with me, even when the babies were born at home I wouldn’t have liked him to be there. I didn’t know anything about childbirth.Helen, the second, was born at home, and she was breech. The midwife said: “You’re going to have it hard, the feet’s coming first.” It was agony.

And unlike Mr Woodhead, he would not be drawn on his views about government policy.Mr Tomlinson, who is a chemistry graduate from Durham University, taught in Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire before he became an HMI in 1978. He has been deputy director of inspection since 1992 and became Mr Woodhead’s deputy five years ago. When the Ridings School in Yorkshire collapsed into chaos, he was sent in at the head of the inspection team.Ministers offered him a one-year contract after Mr Woodhead resigned to become a Daily Telegraph columnist and leader writer He is due to retire in 2002.. “Sack the Useless Teachers” said the headline on a newspaper article by Chris Woodhead when he became the chief inspector of schools in September 1994. “Sack the Useless Teachers” said the headline on a newspaper article by Chris Woodhead when he became the chief inspector of schools in September 1994.
“A tremendous testimony to the hard work and dedication of teachers in our schools,” Mike Tomlinson, the new chief inspector, said yesterday, paying tribute to rising standards.When Mr Woodhead resigned last month, ministers were anxious to emphasise that not much would change The dreaded Ofsted regime would continue Schools would still be inspected Bad ones would be failed Teachers would still be graded, harshly if necessary They are right. The regime over which Mr Tomlinson presides will be exactly the same. But the tone and the man in charge will be different.So far, Mr Tomlinson has been in Mr Woodhead’s shadow.
He has been his loyal deputy but he made clear yesterday that his approach will be more measured. The change is much needed.Mr Woodhead’s style, which he called robust and others called combative, antagonised and infuriated teachers. His comments about the need to weed out thousands of incompetent teachers contributed to a slump in the morale of a profession that has been under more pressure in the past decade than at any time since the war.The Government’s education policies have been remarkably successful but it now faces a shortage of teachers. Mr Tomlinson suggested yesterday that there was little Ofsted could do about that.
But the presence of a chief inspector whose derogatory remarks about teachers were legendary can scarcely have helped the recruitment crisis.Mr Tomlinson will also need to restore confidence in Ofsted, shaken this week by the success of Crown Woods School, in south London, in overturning the inspectors’ verdict that it was failing.Mr Woodhead’s position at the head of Ofsted has helped to heighten teachers’ perception that some inspections are unfair. Notably, the inspection system in Wales, which fell outside Mr Woodhead’s remit, was accepted much more readily by the profession.. “Things have got to get better.” Thus said Alastair Campbell, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman, this week. If Labour was to lose the next election, that would be a good epitaph to inscribe on Tony Blair’s political grave. Perhaps D:Ream could be persuaded to come out of retirement again and re-record Labour’s 1997 election theme song with the new words. “Things have got to get better.” Thus said Alastair Campbell, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman, this week.
