Out went the “Four Olds” – old ideas, old culture, old customs, old habits – and in marched the Red Guard and the fearsome Gang of Four.
A former Shanghai actress (under the stage name Lan P’ing), Mme Mao made the “reform” of the Peking Opera her pet project: in place of the old “bourgeois” historical dramas and romances, Chiang Ch’ing herself devised five new revolutionary ballets, the most famous of which, The Red Detachment of Women, featured an all-singing, all-dancing troop of the Red Women’s Militia rescuing a poor peasant girl from rape and torture at the hands of a sadistic landowner on a torrid tropical island.If that scenario sounds at all familiar to anyone who has been following the Barbican’s cornucopian “Inventing America” season, it may be because the composer, John Adams, and the director, Peter Sellars, incorporated their own re-working of The Red Detachment into the central act of their now-historic headline-based opera, Nixon in China, the belated London premiere of which (11 years after the rest of the world got to see it) launched the Barbican Centre’s year-long season in January.Sadly, that performance was only a concert version, so Londoners still haven’t seen the trend-setting staging that first declared Sellars as one of the most exciting, thought-provoking and emotionally direct (if predictably controversial) directors of his generation.And now, confession time. In communist China, the idea of “doing things by the book” once meant only one thing: the Little Red Book, otherwise known as The Thoughts of Chairman Mao. “Out with the old, in with the new” was another innocuous Western cliche that would have taken on sinister overtones at the time of the so-called Cultural Revolution, those three disastrous years during which the red- bound thoughts of the Chairman were so destructively realised in the blood- stained actions of his wife, Chiang Ch’ing. Mike, next time, please, hold the waterworks and make it Notre- Dame de Paris in July!A version of this review appeared in some editions of Saturday’s paper. A rave, Balearic Tubular Bells, then? Not quite, but there are some dance rhythms and loops behind the opening and closing sections of the new work, which followed a shortened reprise of the original.Tinkle tinkle went the famous piano and xylophone phrase, and the event took on messianic proportions as blankets of rain fell in front of the stage. Fittingly enough, Tubular Bells 3’s central song and forthcoming single is called “Man In The Rain”, and the thunderous effects of the intro detracted from its obvious similarity to the 1983 hit “Moonlight Shadow”.Backed by a 10-piece ensemble, including three percussionists (such as the in-demand Jody Linscott) and three vocalists, the bleached-blond, tanned, healthy-looking Oldfield doodled away and bent the notes like a virtuoso, soothing the corporate audience.
When the trademark bells came, bang on 10pm, they provided a giant emotional release for the soaked spectators. However, it wasn’t quite up to the regal setting of central London. The record that launched the Virgin label 25 years and 18 million copies ago has gone from hippie-must-listen to coffee-table status, and its minimalist Erik Satie-like motifs still send a shiver down the spine of Exorcist aficionados, when they aren’t cropping up on curious dance mixes.
Perhaps prompted by Rob Dickins, the head honcho of his label WEA, who engineered a makeover for Rod Stewart, Oldfield, the godfather of the ambient and new age movement, has upped sticks and gone to Ibiza to absorb some of the techno and hedonistic aspects of the club scene there. Rather than looking up Kevin Ayers, the quirky British singer-songwriter – now a Majorca resident – with whom he first secured gainful employment as a teenager, Mike has ended up following the trance-dance route his old cohort Steve Hillage started exploring at the beginning of the Nineties. Surely not what Mike Oldfield had hoped for to launch his new opus, which sees the progressive rock maestro go back once more to the sweeping grandeur and pomp of Tubular Bells (the second instalment was at Edinburgh Castle in 1992). THE BRITISH have a great propensity to enjoy themselves whatever the weather.
Staging the world premiere of Tubular Bells 3 in in Horse Guards Parade in central London was asking too much of the gods and, sure enough, it bucketed down on the 7,000 spectators. If everyone did, it would help stop lice spreading.`Facts of Lice’, produced and directed by Maurice Melzak, is on Carlton tomorrow at 7.30pm. It involves physically removing the lice from hair that has been soaked in conditioner. This scheme is based on understanding the life cycle of the head louse. If the first combing of the wet hair is done thoroughly, it will remove the adult lice but not the eggs, which are stuck fast to the hair. A strict regime of combing-out, every three or four days for two weeks, should remove the lice that hatch before they manage to reproduce.There are also homoeopathic remedies, such as tea tree oil. In the US, olive oil is said to suffocate lice by blocking their breathing holes.
Some people have found hair gel discourages the beasts, but there is really no quick fix. It seems that the best thing to do is to check a child’s hair at least once a week by combing with the fine-tooth head-louse comb.If you find lice, try a little detective work to find out where they came from – and be responsible: tell friends and relatives. However, many chemicals may have different names and make-up, but they are based on the same active ingredient. For example, Prioderm, Suleo M and Derbac M all contain the organo-phosphate malathion. If the louse is resistant to one, it is likely it will be resistant to the others.Even if a lotion does kill adult lice, any eggs they have laid may live on to begin a new cycle.
Agassi began the defence of the title with a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 win against an American compatriot, Bryan Shelton. “I haven’t really played many matches because of my back and I definitely lack confidence.” So Coetzer has noticed. “I feel she definitely does give you a chance to get into the game compared to previous times,” she said. In previous times, Graf defeated the South African six times in a row.Andre Agassi and his chief rival Pete Sampras made an emphatic start to the men’s singles. Coetzer broke twice, only to lose her own serve in the concluding game.”At certain times I had difficulty concentrating,” Graf said. She then hit a glorious angled backhand volley to take the opening point of the shoot-out and capitalised on Graf’s errors to win it, 7-1, on her ninth set point.Though the game then began to slip away from the South African, Graf lapsed into errors again when two points from victory, serving at 5-1, 30-15. Graf recovered to win, 6-7, 6-1, 6-4, raising her game to coincide with her South African opponent’s loss of nerve.Coetzer was forced into the first set tie-break after leading 5-2, failing to convert seven set points.
Seles marked her return by winning that tournament without dropping a set.For an hour yesterday it seemed that Coetzer would repeat her success and that Graf would become the first top seed to lose in the first round of the women’s singles. Her father/manager, Peter, is under arrest following an investigation by the German tax authorities.The morning after Seles had revelled in her first match in a Gram Slam championship for two and a half years, sweeping aside the Romanian Ruxandra Dragomir, 6-3, 6-1, in the opening round of the United States Open, Graf struggled to stay in the tournament.It did not help that she had to face Amanda Coetzer, the only player to have beaten her this year, only a fortnight earlier in the first round of the Canadian Open. Either that, or the Wimbledon champion has so much else on her mind that her game is being left to take care of itself. Tennis
While Monica Seles, relieved of the 28 months of doubt and depression which followed her stabbing, continues to romp through her comeback matches, Steffi Graf, troubled on and off the court, clings tenuously to her position at the top of the women’s game.
Though Seles is the player who speaks of experiencing nerves each time she walks out to play, Graf is the one displaying them.
“I watched him throughout last season, he improved as it went on until the closing weeks when he played with injury,” he said. “He is technically good, an intelligent player, who is a good crosser.”COLOMBIA SQUAD (v England at Wembley, 6 September): Higuita, Chiquillo, Fernando Santa, Gonzalez, Perez, Bermudez, Maziri, Mendoza, Gaviria, Alvarez, Lozano, Rincon, Valderrama, Quinones, Asprilla, Leon, Valenciano.Rovers relapse, page 23THE PLAYERS WHO ARE INEngland squad (v Colombia, Wembley, 6 Sept)Player Club Age CapsD Seaman Arsenal 31 17T Flowers Blackburn 28 7R Jones Liverpool 23 8G Neville Man Utd 20 2T Adams Arsenal 28 35S Howey Newcastle 23 1G Pallister Man Utd 30 18G Le Saux Blackburn 26 10S Pearce N Forest 33 59S McManaman Liverpool 23 3D Platt Arsenal 29 55R Lee Newcastle 29 2J Redknapp Liverpool 22 -D Batty Blackburn 26 17J Barnes Liverpool 31 78P Gascoigne Rangers 28 32D Wise Chelsea 28 8T Sheringham Spurs 29 9P Beardsley Newcastle 34 57N Barmby M’brough 21 2S Collymore Liverpool 24 2J Salako Coventry 26 5A Shearer Blackburn 25 7P Ince Internazionale 27 16M Le Tissier Southampton 26 6L Ferdinand Newcastle 28 7A Cole Man Utd 23 1. Gascoigne, though recovered from last week’s groin injury, has rarely finished a match in the last year. Le Tissier, the only English player with the same creative ability, sits it out.”He is on the edge of the squad,” Venables said of the Southampton captain.
At times he must feel like jumping off it.Venables was full of praise for Salako, who last played for England under Graham Taylor against Germany in autumn 1991 He then suffered severe knee injuries. He has only played two matches since his long lay-off but questionable fitness has not precluded the selection of Stan Collymore and Paul Gascoigne.Collymore has an ankle injury that, according to Roy Evans the Liverpool manager, makes his participation next week “touch and go”. Ince, assuming he is fit and in form, will probably be in the next squad, for the October trip to Norway.Ferdinand must wonder just what he has to do to get included, his age – 28 – should not be a problem, Peter Beardsley (34), John Barnes (31) and Teddy Sheringham (29) are included as usual.Cole, too, must wonder. He denied that this was the reason for his omission, and said “that is all in the past”. But, with his next breath, he reiterated his desire to play only people who are “committed to England and prepared to make sacrifices”.The underlying message to Ince seems to be the same one as Alex Ferguson had for him – “we do not need you as much as you think we do”. Ince, meanwhile, made a promising start with Inter.Of the four exclusions Ince is the most surprising, but he is also the player most likely to find his way back.
Venables admitted he was “disappointed” by the player’s withdrawal from the summer’s Umbro Cup squad. Other than Ince, Venables has also left out Andy Cole, Les Ferdinand and Matt Le Tissier, although he has called up John Salako for the first time in four years.Le Tissier and Ferdinand have each scored three Premiership goals this season while Cole looked sharp during Manchester United’s win over Blackburn Rovers on Monday. We were given the go-ahead by the specialist to play him tonight and although we were assured it could not do him further damage it is clear now he needs the surgery and we’ve got to look after our players.”Platt becomes the latest absentee from a squad which was already as notable for those it had omitted as for those it had included. He was overlooked by Terry Venables, the England coach.Venables made no mention of Platt’s injury when announcing the squad earlier in the day, but Rioch said: “David has spoken to him.

WE STEPPED out of our taxi into Marrakesh’s Medina ready for war. Our bodies were wrapped from head to foot in linen, our bags were clasped to our sides I already had a tense nervous headache. For weeks I’d been bombarded with worried looks when people heard where my friend Jane and I had booked our summer holiday. “Two women on your own?” they’d say in knowing voices, and shake their heads.
“Morocco?”
We had touched down at the entrance to the souk, the labyrinthine tangle of alleyways lined with tiny market shops where the ancient practice of barter is elevated to an art form. This is prime tourist country: the equivalent of hitting London in Leicester Square.
Within seconds, we found a companion by our side. He sped through languages until he found English and pleasantly asked us questions about where we came from, where we were staying, whether this was our first trip to Morocco. Reassured by his friendliness I happily chattered back.The alleyways closed in. Stall holders called out to us to come and look at their pottery, carpets, carvings, musical instruments and we smiled and walked past Our companion was still hovering. He told us that we’d get into trouble, that the men around us were thieves We asked him to please leave us alone. He scowled and, before disappearing into the crowd, delivered a volley of insults at us in Arabic.Fake guides are the sharp end of hustling, experts who know every trick in the book.
Their friendly questions are designed to weigh you up in financial terms. They will manipulate you cunningly, playing on Western guilt and distaste for offending. The practice is illegal and the tough line the Moroccan authorities have taken has had an effect on their numbers. After this first encounter we weren’t troubled again.We wandered deeper into the souk. Stall holders here are reputed to redefine the hard sell: we received a steady stream of invitations to “just look, just look”, but we stuck to the rules – don’t linger unless you intend to buy, keep smiling and saying no. I bought one item, a pair of embroidered slippers, and the haggle went like a dream. After five minutes of extravagant hand gestures and you-can’t-be-serious expressions we closed the deal with smiles all round and the first of a series of invitations to come home for cous cous.Emerging at the adjacent huge square, the Djemaa el-Fna – a babble of food stalls, snake charmers and storytellers – we watched the sun go down from one of the roof-top cafes that overlook the square, then ate amid the rumpus.Exhausting? Yes, but Marrakesh also has another face.
The next day we explored the Ville Nouveau, where most of the locals live and work, and it was an entirely different experience. Here we drank sweet tea stacked with mint leaves, cheek by jowl with hip young Moroccans who paid us not the slightest attention. No one tried to sell us anything.Our next stop was Essaouira, a seaside town and working port that gets on with its business. That first night, as we stared out at the Atlantic, a man’s head popped up from a boat “Where are you from?” he shouted. “London,” we called back suspiciously, prepared for some attempted sale “Nice!” he bellowed, and disappeared We relaxed.But salesmen will be salesmen.

I stick to the belief that the shifting of human remains from one venue to another, except for some dire necessity, is lacking in respect.

Councils will be penalised for above-average tax increases by not being fully reimbursed by the Department of Social Security for the extra cost in council tax benefit increases. The Conservatives also suggest that the Government’s prediction is optimistic.Gillian Shephard, the shadow Environment Secretary, claimed that the settlement showed a shift in financial support away from local authorities in London and the South-east, towards Labour’s “friends in the north”. The Liberal Democrats say that abolition is likely to lead to typical council tax increases of about 8 per cent. In recent years central government had effectively set local council taxes by giving every council a cap that fixed the maximum charge. The Local Government Association, which represents councils, says tax increases will depend on the decisions taken by local authorities, but it expects most to increase council taxes by a maximum of 5 per cent.
Individual councils, though, may choose to set much higher increases, as a result of the elimination of the cap.
The Government has increased its grant support to local authorities by 5.4 per cent and says it expects councils to limit their council tax rises to 4.5 per cent. Business rates, which are set by government and handed back to local authorities, will rise by 8.7 per cent – more than three times the rate of inflation.

And you will be paying interest on the protection insurance.Because unsecured personal loans are not underwritten, lenders rely on a hefty set of exclusions to avoid paying out. Mr Gibbons suggests that you check the small print to make sure the conditions match your circumstances. For example, some schemes do not cover the self-employed or people on short-term contracts.And what if your spending has spiralled and you are tempted to consolidate all your loans into one big one? Mr Gibbons says: “This is rarely a good idea, particularly if the consolidated loan is secured on your home. As our best buy table shows, on a pounds 5,000 loan paid back over three years, you will be paying around pounds 20 a month extra in payment protection. Some loans, for example, charge penalties if you want to pay the loan off early.Once you have chosen your loan, you can almost guarantee that your lender will ask you to take out payment protection insurance on top of the cost of the loan In most cases this is an expensive waste of money.
This is a more accurate guide to the total cost of borrowing than an effective annual rate (EAR), the charge quoted for most overdrafts (which are not required to quote an APR figure). The EARs take into account the charges for borrowing but not any fixed fees that may be added. Rates can therefore look artificially competitive.If you are considering taking out a loan, get a full written quotation that explains in detail all the charges, including fees. To help you compare costs, lenders are required by law to quote an annual percentage rate (APR) figure.
