He was just five days short of his 26th birthday that night – though he looked younger, clambering out of the studio car, his baby face rocking with laughter on top of the very large body. He was just five days short of his 26th birthday that night though he looked younger, clambering out of the studio car, his baby face rocking with laughter on top of the very large body. He was exhausted and overweight; he had a habit of double helpings just to keep going. Like a boy infatuated with his own occasion, he took a beautiful woman to the opening, Dolores del Rio, 10 years his senior But Orson Welles always had ideas above his station.
No, it was more than that: he was without station, home or base. Like any real genius, he existed already nowhere else but in history.
It was 1 May 1941, at the RKO Palace at Broadway and 47th Street in New York City the opening night of Citizen Kane. Sixty years ago, and still opening people’s minds.If he had dropped dead that night, he would have been secure for ever in the meagre 20th-century company of Einstein, Hitler and Picasso. As they still do, people would have marvelled that Welles had made Kane at 25. As they did then, they would have stood back, daunted by the sheer amount the fat kid had accomplished already.
As it was, he lived another 44 years time for boredom, disappointment and the merely magnificent to catch up with him. So, in his old age, and after his death, there were those who said: “Well, yes, Orson Welles is all very well, but isn’t he rather shallow, a touch excessive isn’t he just a little bit of a ham and a charlatan?” As if that hadn’t been his point, his vision, his ecstatic sense of himself.So, if he had popped off that night, we wouldn’t have had The Magnificent Ambersons, or his Harry Lime in The Third Man. There’d be no Chimes at Midnight or F for Fake, no Othello, Macbeth or Mr Arkadin No Touch of Evil. The world would never have seen his Moby Dick on stage, or his magic act in which he sawed Marlene Dietrich in two.
They’d never have had to look into his taunting eyes as he waxed eloquent on this packet mashed potato or that cheap wine. There would be this huge, voluminous hole, like a Monet pond without the lilies.Still, I can’t quite give up the dream that he had a splendid heart attack at the back of the Palace Theatre, engaging with Miss del Rio in the last row of the stalls: anything not to see the damn movie again!He was weary of Citizen Kane, you see. He was proud of it, I’m sure, and later on in life he would offer the opinion no more than ex cathedra that it had not been surpassed yet. Perhaps he entertained the dream that, as and when someone matched it, he would go back to real work. No, he was stale on Citizen Kane because of the intensity of attention and longing with which he had brought it into being. You can still feel that love (even if you call it self-love), like a heart beating in the screen. But he wanted something fresh boredom was always one of his companions.So it’s worth stressing that he went to the New York premiere and then followed his movie around (taking Dolores with him).

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.

She hated meetings, was not a natural joiner, believed the stories of Stalin’s atrocities, felt sick when comrades casually argued that you can’t make omelettes without breaking eggs. On the other hand, her allegiances had long been socialist, and were reinforced by the class divisions (shocking to a colonial) which she saw in Britain. All the generous, colourful, literate people she met in London were communists. And she wanted her politics to be more than skittish, more than a way of annoying mummy or shocking the bourgeoisie. So she joined.Joining didn’t just mean signing petitions and having a Party card There were also foreign congresses and writers’ delegations. Lessing describes in detail a trip to the Soviet Union with, among others, Naomi Mitchison. While Lessing seethed at the “noisy insincerity” of what she heard and saw, Mitchison was less inhibited, complaining that the Soviets were no longer tolerant of free love (she had once bathed nude in the Moskva with her lover, she tells them) and satirising socialist-realist paintings (to her suggestion that a cow in one of these paintings looks as if it needs milking, the Party official replied severely “Soviet cows are well treated”).Lessing recalls such scenes with amused but also appalled fascination, wondering how it is that she and thousands of other western intellectuals – “useful idiots”, as Lenin called them – could have supported the most brutal tyranny of our time.
“How ridiculous it does seem now – that we took ourselves so seriously,” she says, and wonders if sentimentality, mass hysteria or a “delayed or displaced collective adolescence” were to blame But this is surely too harsh, on herself and on others. A truer answer lies in a letter she write to E P Thompson in 1957, when she speaks of being a communist not as “a question of intellectual standpoint, but rather a sort of sharing of moral fervour”.Suez, Aldermaston, the Soviet invasion of Hungary … Lessing worries that all this ancient political history will bore her younger readers. She needn’t: those moral fervours are recognisable and bring it to life Besides, as she says, politics seeped into everything then. Her memories of Britain in the Fifties – damp houses, draughty windows, utility furniture, one- bar electric fires, awful food, undrinkable coffee, parish-pump mentality, everyone in bed by ten – evoke the special texture of the Cold War.Politics also seeped into love, the other great illusion – or disillusion – in her life It’s not that she lacked lovers. First came Jack, who was Czech and a psychiatrist at the Maudsley; later Clancy Sigal, an American journalist and Trotskyist romantic; others are briefly mentioned but these were the two that count.
Both had deep relationships with Doris Lessing, but neither was ever more than passing through. They made no secret of this – there were always other women in the background – and, since they never promised anything, couldn’t be accused of letting her down. All the same, as she says, “there is no fool like a woman in need of a man”, and just because she doesn’t whinge about these men doesn’t mean she came out unscathed. Their boyish energy may have been charming, but some of their attitudes seem, now, neanderthal.Doris Lessing makes an analogy between love and politics: they are both about entertaining hope, and long after that hope has died or become ridiculous the poor addict will try to keep it alive She, too, suffered from excesses of fond expectation.

It was a generation of the gullible, the greedy and the hopeful that made this young man, born over a Brooklyn sweet shop, a millionaire many times over.Dr Berger himself related the nightmare that led him into creating a life centred on diet. Matthews won by a distance.Coming forward a bit in time there was a great deal of fuss when Celtic, the European Cup holders, uncharacteristically became involved in disgraceful scenes during a World Club Championship match in Argentina. Sir: ‘Going for a Burton’ (Letters, 12 and 14 April) lived on well into the Fifties when, for a while, teenagers and others who hung around stage doors hoping for sights, sounds and autographs of their favourite actors, would call out this rallying cry as they dived into the crowd that always surrounded the famous Richard of that name

After a long and sometimes passionate government meeting in Pretoria yesterday, the Cabinet Secretary, Jakes Gerwel, said: “The Cabinet took the view that no indemnity from prosecution was acquired or granted in these cases.” He said any of the police named could still pursue their applications for indemnity in the courts or through a special Truth and Reconciliation Commission due to be set up soon.. Several had been named in reports linking them with a dirty war against the rising power of the ANC. Most were attached to the security services; they included high-ranking officers, the former Justice Minister, Adriaan Vlok, and the former Defence Minister, Magnus Malan. Pretoria – The South African government invalidated an amnesty offered to 3,500 policemen last year in the dying days of the apartheid regime, writes Hugh Pope. It was also a reminder to California to put its crumbling house in order.. If a 7.2 magnitude quake can cause such devastation there,what would happen if one hits the West Coast? The pictures from Kobe served as a reminder that widespread death and mayhem is inescapable in a quake of that size, and that no refurbishment programme is ever likely to be extensive enough to repair all the older or ill-constructed buildings that crop up in every city in the world. Some Angelenos are still receiving therapy for the stress, fear, and sleeplessness inflicted by a quake that was less powerful than Kobe’s.
A poll this month found that found that four out of ten parents in the hardest-hit areas say their children still suffered nightmares.But the shock of the disaster was also particularly intense because it happened in Japan – the country which Americans have long envied because of the sums it has spent preparing for earthquakes. We Sympathise.”
If the trauma still suffered by Californians is any measure of what the Japanese quake victims will now face, then the picture looks bleak. The quake occurred on the first anniversary of the Northridge quake in Los Angeles, casting a still deeper pall over the candle-lit vigils and church services held in memory of the 57 victims. Yesterday a notice fluttered outside the site of a collapsed apartment block in which 16 people were killed a year ago It read: “People of Kobe. The scenes of death and destruction in Kobe was greeted with particular horror and fear in California, on the far side of the seismically active Pacific Rim. Tomorrow we plan to restart some of the programmes, to regain a sense of purpose.”.
We have enough food and wood to last until the end of the week. “Although the electricity has been restored, we are still having to fetch water from a spring and cook over open fires,” Dr Miller said.”We daren’t try to use the gas. When he drove through nearby areas the night after the quake, some streets appearedundamaged while round the corner every house was in ruins, with their former occupants huddled around braziers.So far no one at the institute was known to have died, although local staff and their relatives had lost their homes.”It is very strange being in the middle of the disaster, watching news on television and being able to talk by telephone to our relatives and St Catherine’s, while we cannot speak to people a few miles away,” Dr Miller added.Students from the institutehad gone out on motorcycles to look for food, and one regular supplier had delivered lettuces and rice on a fire engine. “We now know at last that everyone is alive and unhurt,” the university said.Hugh Brown, a missionary from Northern Ireland, fled from his flat with his wife and their four children, all aged less than 10. Their car had been buried under a collapsed church, but they managed to escape to safety.At least 35 foreigners, all but three members of Japan’s Korean community, were killed.
The others came from the US, China and Australia.By late yesterday, Dr Miller told the Independent, the vast fires which ravaged Kobe had largely burnt out. He said one of the worst was caused by a toppled furnace at Kobe steelworks. Corporate sponsorship by Kobe Steel was what took the institute to the western Japanese city, just over three hours from Tokyo by bullet train.”This morning there were one or two big aftershocks which set off fires, but when I look down now the most striking thing is how horribly calm it all is,” Dr Miller said. Nineteen were quickly accounted for, but nothing was heard from the remaining six – three from southern England and the rest from Germany, Portugal and Finland – until yesterday. Six Leeds University students were reported safe yesterday, more than 36 hours after the earthquake.
Just like us…? Celebs take in sporting events in their down time.
On the day Mackenzie had one win and a second place whereas Whitham had a win and a third.Although he has raced for 14 years and was British Superbike champion in 1993, this is the first season in which Whitham has ridden works-supported machines. You see your life flashing before you but every time I’ve just got up and walked away.” That included his comeback race last year at Donington where he later narrowly failed to take the British championship. The occasional near-death experience on the track, though, is different “I’ve sometimes thought I was going to die. “I almost wanted to have my first crash so I could cope with some injury I knew all about, not like cancer that just creeps up on you.”As for the idea of a near-death experience adding to life’s value, he says it makes racing less frightening. It’s the determination that pulled him through.”Once Whitham was declared fit, he picked up his racing career But he admits the illness has changed his attitude. Is there a game plan when England are in the field?If the selectors agree with Atherton that Ealham is not of much use as a bowler (why did they pick him?) then Ealham’s position must be reconsidered. He’s a fighter with the bat but is short of the class to get a big score against Australia’s attack.
He appeals as an improver, especially against lesser bowlers.He has been ridiculously underbowled by his captain, Mike Atherton. He is the sort of bowler who can keep one end tight, probably pick up a wicket or two while the strikers go at it from the other end That tactic seems to have escaped Atherton. I would nominate Mark Butcher, Dean Headley, Nasser Hussain, Darren Gough and John Crawley, who seems to be getting stronger with each outing.That’s five for the future On the edge should be Mark Ealham He’s got what down here we call “ticker”. Mark Taylor’s Australians are tough, and they expertly expose the character of their opponents.By now, the England selectors should know who can hack it. In the darkest times a sensible selection philosophy is “stay calm”.The first point Graveney and company would have been trying to establish was this: just how badly have our selections been playing? It was important that in making their assessment they did not:l Underestimate Australia’s strength;l Over-react to the Headingley loss;l Kid themselves, and confuse potential with performance;l Totally walk away from their original philosophy on squad balance;l Forget there is a tour to the West Indies coming up;l Most importantly, forget this Ashes series is still alive.How’s that for a balancing act? Not quite as easy as sitting in an armchair with a pint of bitter, shredding reputations, checking averages and nominating your favourite player.On the first point, the trap is to discount the Australian performance on the grounds that they had a couple of lucky breaks, the well-worn “what if” theory. Yet, from the first Test to the last the only major changes we made to the team were these: Dean Jones (for Mike Veletta), Mark Taylor (for Graeme Wood, a switch which also pushed David Boon from opener to No 3), Merv Hughes (for Chris Matthews), and Terry Alderman (for Tony Dodemaide).There were one or two changes forced through injury and, for the spin- friendly pitch at Sydney Trevor Hohns, the leggie, came in for the pace bowler, Craig McDermott, but overall the talent was merely tweaked and the balance retained.
Those nervous nellies always advocate an unhelpful mix of sackings, redundancy and restructuring, possibly inspired by the England panel’s 1988 effort against the West Indies – 23 players captained by four different men. This is no time to revisit that mayhem.
I can relate to the predicament of Messrs Graveney, Gooch and Gatting because the Australian selectors found themselves in similar territory just before the 1989 Ashes tour.We were copping a fearful hiding from the same West Indian outfit, down three-nil after three Tests, a scoreline which only improved for Australia when the captain Allan Border claimed wickets in the Fourth Test – his usually innocuous part-time spin was unplayable on a Sydney dung-heap. No one would suggest he is the new Knott but he can raise the side’s stock and make redundant all nonsense about the need to be a top-six batsman.. What are the thoughts that surround Test cricket selectors in times of deep trouble? Reaching for the razor blades is not an option, and clear heads are better value than sweaty palms, which mostly belong to armchair selectors, anyway. He will take catches to lift others; he may score runs when they are most needed in a manner which can get up the opposition’s pipe.
Rollins, injured at the start of this summer, is 23, has three seasons but fewer matches behind him, averages above 20 and has almost 150 dismissals, including a handsome proportion of stumpings. More importantly, he has Knott’s clean, swift hands and also appears to share his ability to improvise. There is an impish quality about him which can inspire team-mates and his batting, while not of top-order quality, is fearless. His time has surely come again.Robert RollinsEssexWHEN the great Alan Knott was first picked for England 30 years ago he was 21, had two full seasons behind him, averaged fewer than 20 with the bat and had just over 200 dismissals. He has continued to dismantle county attacks, as six fifties and four hundreds show, and has made a promising start as Middlesex captain. The feeling persists that he has not truly been given the extended run by England that his enviable natural gifts of timing and strokeplay should merit. Called up to South Africa two winters ago it seemed odd to say the least that he should be plunged into the No 3 position.
But the memory also tells us that when he first got into the side against the then still fearsome West Indies in 1991 he made determined, courageous starts each time, getting into the 20s in seven of nine innings. It is said that his temperament is suspect and it is true that he has registered too many ducks. It would be wiser to pick him then.Mark RamprakashMiddlesexTHERE would not be much of an argument against the proposition that the Middlesex captain is the most gifted player of his generation. His batting is delightfully uninhibited but his defences are fragile and he bowls too many indifferent balls to be a persistent threat He will learn much in the next year and still be just 20. But – is it not typically English to introduce that word? – it is probably too early for him in Test cricket. Not for nothing has he failed to take the County Championship by storm.
