Quite apart from the electoral unwisdom of condemning a programme watched by 13 million voters three times a week as a return to the money-worship of “yuppyism”, Mr Blunkett should have chosen to phone a friend or to ask the audience.
New Labour ought to endorse a show that so directly links esoteric knowledge to financial reward. Indeed, the programme could have been designed to explicate the Third Way thesis that brainpower is the key resource in the new global economy. How fitting it is that knowing about Eleanor of Aquitaine should be worth £1m. This is dumbing up with a financial vengeance.If Mr Blunkett wants to criticise a game on the grounds that it allows you to get something for nothing, and is concerned only with money, he need look no further than the National Lottery. But then that is a government-run scam, not a brilliant entrepreneurial idea dreamt up and produced in the private sector.. There are two ways of looking at the tragedy of the murder of Damilola Taylor as he made his way home after school on Monday.
Was it, as the media circus has described, a brutal murder in the hell hole of the worst estate in Europe? Or was it an avoidable tragedy that occurred in a community that some time ago began to emerge from an inner city spiral of neglect and has bright hopes for the future?
There are two ways of looking at the tragedy of the murder of Damilola Taylor as he made his way home after school on Monday. Was it, as the media circus has described, a brutal murder in the hell hole of the worst estate in Europe? Or was it an avoidable tragedy that occurred in a community that some time ago began to emerge from an inner city spiral of neglect and has bright hopes for the future?
It’s worth remembering that the murder happened minutes after Damilola had left his after-school computer class in the locality’s spanking new multi-million-pound library, which is down the road from one of the top art schools in the country – Camberwell School of Art.Everyone rightly reeled in horror at the awfulness of this grim murder, and our streets are now teeming with never-before-seen crowds of columnists, journalists and outside broadcasting units, bristling with satellite dishes, each looking for more Dickensian images to contextualise their stories. There is saturation media coverage of both how awful these estates are and how lucky we are not to live in them or have our children in such schools.The North Peckham estate is not a community in the connected sense of the word, but a socially deprived world. For many, this tragic murder has come just when they were beginning to feel some pride and stability and sense of improvement, not just about the brash new library and architecture prizes that have tweaked the interest of the metropolitan media, but about well-designed, attractive new houses, redesigned streets, new sports facilities. Above all, there is a budding confidence for the future prospects of this fledgling multicultural community.As a person responsible for some of the local drug treatment services and also involved in research into drug problems in inner-city areas, I have lived in a quiet street not 10 minutes from the scene of the murder for the past 10 years.
It is undoubtedly a tough neighbourhood, but my home has never been burgled and there is no need for security bars on the windows and doors. Nor have I ever been mugged or assaulted while walking the streets of Peckham.Ten years ago my research group went door to door on that estate to assess the scale of the area’s massive drug epidemic. What we encountered was a no-go areas where fear prevailed, and where grim flats were drug-infested and all but abandoned by the local authority.The services that we all take for granted – postmen, milkmen, policemen, health-visitors, doctors – refused to work on the estate. Our survey found a significant proportion of the local people were injecting and smoking heroin, and virtually everyone we met on the estate wanted to move elsewhere.I remember standing in the middle of the estate on a cold November evening and feeling shocked that this deprived community, living no more than 20 minutes from Whitehall, had been forgotten by central and local government.

Desperate farmers are fleeing the arid lands of Western Rajasthan in their thousands as the worst drought in a century bites home. They leave behind dead and dying cattle, the only wealth they possessed. Desperate farmers are fleeing the arid lands of Western Rajasthan in their thousands as the worst drought in a century bites home. They leave behind dead and dying cattle, the only wealth they possessed.
In hundreds of Rajasthan’s villages, people hope against hope that state aid – drinking water, animal fodder and famine work schemes – will turn up in time for them to squeak through to the monsoon, if the rain obliges by turning up.But in the midst of this suffering and fear, one community has demonstrated how it is possible to out-think even a drought as bad as this one without throwing yourself on the mercy of the state.I am sitting in the hut of a Bishnoi, some two hours out of Jodhpur in Thar Desert. The Bishnoi are a community of desert people known as India’s original ecologists.The principles of their community, enunciated by their guru, Jambeshwar, in the 15th century, involve reverence for all living things, including trees (which they are not allowed to cut while they are alive), birds and animals.The circular mud hut has a conical roof made from the dark brown stems of millet, or bajra, the staple grain of the desert which can even grow in sand.
Sparrows, bulbuls and other small birds fly in and out, unafraid.Outside, the mid-day temperature is about 43C in the shade. But in here the mud walls, pierced by ventilation holes, and the thick roof make the hut surprisingly cool.We sit on string beds woven by Bhikaram Sahu Bishnoi, the tall, bony patriarch of the place, who has a shaven head and a wide tapering moustache.Although close to the city, this dhani or out-station of the Bishnoi has no modern facilities of any description – no electricity, telephone or water supply. The only road is of sand and gravel, and Bhikaram’s only convenience is a cart pulled by one of his camels.Yet Bhikaram has no plans to flee Life is simple and frugal, but it always has been. Water is running short but he is confident they will survive. In the absence of any provision by the state, Bhikaram has built a rainwater collection tank next to his hut.Monsoon rain falling in the 400sq ft circular catchment area is funnelled into a big underground tank This is used only for drinking, and is fresh and sweet.
Bhikaram and his family never waste a drop.For washing and watering the cows and camels, Bhikaram straps canvas water carriers either side of his camel’s hump and treks six kilometres to an ancient well. The well has been poorly maintained by the authorities and the water has become salty but it suffices for washing.The simple and dignified strategems of the Bishnoi expose the pitfalls of state dependency into which other poor inhabitants of India’s arid zones have been enticed.This part of Rajasthan has always been dry, and droughts are common. Like the Bishnoi, all communities in the region evolved strategies for surviving them. Then a few years back the state waved its wand and water worries appeared to have been banished for good.As recently as five years back Jodhpur, Rajasthan’s second biggest city, faced such a severe drought that there was talk of evacuating the city. Then the Rajasthan Canal was completed and for the time being the city has plenty of water.In the surrounding countryside, the authorities have built big concrete cylindrical water tanks in every village, hooked up to pipelines supplied from the city Elsewhere they constructed high water towers. Where nature proved so fickle, the state had promised to provide.But this year’s crushing drought has proved that the state is just as fallible when God turns off the taps. The big water tanks are still hooked up to the pipeline but today the supply is highly unreliable.In the village of Jajiwal Gehlot, only 24 kilometres from Jodhpur, water is the only topic of conversation through the long summer heat.”No water comes to the tank at all for four or five days,” says a man in a turban “When it does come it’s only a trickle, for half an hour.
How is that going to supply a village of 4,000 people?”The answer is to open up the wells in the dried-up ponds, wells dug centuries ago, and tap what water emerges. But the ponds have been badly looked after in the age of state dependency. Much of the water is unusable – some of it a lurid shade of green. Other wells are only good for the animals.So the villagers are thrown back even more completely on the state’s mercies, labouring in the hot sun for 40 rupees (60p) per day to buy drinking water from profiteers, and waiting patiently for the state’s grain and fodder trucks to turn up to keep them and their livestock in food.Bhikaram’s millet crop failed last year, like that of all the farmers in the region, but the crusty black millet chapatti he produces for our lunch – it has the consistency and rich flavour of pumpernickel – is not a mirage.The wisdom of the elders prevails.
The Bishnoi do not sell their grain but store enough of it to last them three or four years in huge pots, kept cool by more of the black millet stems they use for roofing.We dunk the chapattis in curds and flavour them with homemade onion and chilli pickle. With the bulbuls popping in and out, it’s possible to think of this not as a disaster zone but a desert idyll.Of course, that’s not the whole story. Like all the other farmers in the region, Bhikaram has run out of animal fodder. He is also down to the last foot of drinking water in his tank. If the monsoon were to fail again, he too would be in serious difficulties.And Bhikaram has only one solid gold reason for being confident that he can stay put here – his son works in a Jodhpur factory.. Chenjerai “Hitler” Hunzvi, leading the campaign of intimidation of Zimbabwean farmers and farm workers on behalf of President Robert Mugabe, raised the prospect yesterday of further bloody attacks on the opposition, as the Justice Minister revealed that Mr Mugabe plans to invoke special powers to seize white-owned farms. “We are here to ensure that Zanu-PF’s reign shall never be interrupted by sell-outs,” Mr Hunzvi told about 2,000 supporters at a Harare rally.
Both syndicate results will be aggregated in the global figure.Similarly, when Names take legal action against their Lloyd’s agents to recover losses, syndicates that have written errors and omissions insurance for the agents will also account for the loss.Although this has been a problem in past years, Lloyd’s has not stripped out the double- counting element from its bottom-line figure before.The move to do so this year is an attempt to persuade corporate capital investors to increase their involvement in the market. ‘The rest of the crew has gone skiing, but I’m a bit behind on my Air Alaska list,’ was his excuse.The sheltered area on the highest point of the roof is as busy as the Tokyo stock exchange.

The local sheriff, Little Bill (Gene Hackman), makes her attackers pay not with their lives, nor even with lashes; to him, a cut whore is no more than lost property, and a few good horses will do for compensation.But the brothel wants revenge, and will pay a bounty-hunter to carry it out.

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.

It was a night of like father, like son. A counter-culture newspaper, L’Elephant Rose was forced into bankruptcy recently after being prosecuted under the same law. No action was taken, however, against others like the pop singer Johnny Hallyday and the Justice Minister Elisabeth Guignou, who have also spoken frankly about drugs.Mr Jospin said he favoured the decriminalisation of cannabis during the election campaign last May. His government has stepped back from that position but measures are expected soon to allow experimental use of cannabis in hospitals..
Public admission to drugs-taking can be prosecuted in France as an incitement to use by others.The president of Act-Up, a group campaigning for the legalisation of soft drugs, appeared in court this week for distributing a tract called “I like ecstasy”. The petitioners state: “At one moment or other of my life, I have consumed stupefying drugs. I know that in admitting publicly that I am a drug user, I can be prosecuted. This is a risk I am ready to take.”The motive is to draw attention to the hypocrisies and inconsistencies of government policy and the application of the French anti-drugs law. The clubs claim that they serve as the “primary care-giver” under Proposition 215, giving them the right to supply and sell marijuana. But the California Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed that argument after a series of appeals.”The courts have essentially said that cannabis clubs are not allowed,” said a spokesman for Mr Lundgren.It remains to be seen how rapidly his office will move against the clubs, but there was little doubt that Mr Peron’s operation is the first on the list of closures.Mr Peron, a larger-than-life California personality, and a gay Vietnam veteran who co-authored Proposition 215, insists all marijuana is “medical”.His inflammatory statements have not endeared him to clubs in other cities, where patients are more carefully screened and which operate quietly, sometimes with the co-operation of local police..
“We’re going to stay here until the tanks come,” he said.Mr Peron’s club is the most visible operation, where pot is freely sold in what critics say is a party atmosphere thick with marijuana smoke. The club was raided and shut down once under orders from Attorney General Dan Lundgren, a conservative Republican now in the thick of his campaign for the California governorship.In November 1996, a solid majority of California voters passed Proposition 215, allowing seriously ill people or their “primary care-giver” to grow and use marijuana on a doctor’s recommendation.Activists in six other states and Washington DC are pushing to put similar bills on the ballot this year, but President Clinton’s administration has led efforts to contain the fall-out and prevent medical marijuana use becoming a national phenomenon.In a hearing next month, US prosecutors will separately seek injunctions to close at least six clubs. But they have been the prime target for government officials determined to nip the legalisation of marijuana in the bud.Dennis Peron, operator of the Cannabis Cultivators Club in San Francisco, which is said to sell as much as 50lb of marijuana a week to 8,000 clients from a city centre office building, promised to defy any court order. The California Attorney General, armed with a sympathetic court ruling, was to seek an injunction to close up to 20 clubs, his spokesman said.
The clubs, which claim only to dispense marijuana to the sick, sprang up across the state after California voters legalised the personal medical use of marijuana. CALIFORNIA’S simmering marijuana wars moved closer to an open showdown yesterday, with the prospect of a court-ordered shutdown of the state’s marijuana clubs. Or afterwards, by unknown intermediaries.Or, as has happened before in this part of the country, the prize-winning ticket could have been bought by an organisation devoted to laundering the proceeds of drug-trafficking.The next step is to find out what happened by talking to the lottery’s organisers, Spain’s organisation for the blind, the ONCE, and the bank where the winning ticket was cashed, and to whom the money was handed. “It’s possible that the person gave a false identity, but there are ways of finding out who it really is,” Mr Quintans said.The eventual beneficiaries will be Villasante’s nephew Jaime, a former building worker who receives pounds 150 a month invalidity pension since falling from a ladder, and his wife Maria Antonia, who works as a cleaner in six houses for two pounds an hour.The couple have three daughters: the eldest is suing her estranged husband for payments towards the upbringing of their son; one daughter is still at school, and the third contributes to the family her wages as a factory hand in a fish-cannery..
His body was laid out by local undertakers who handed over the dead man’s effects – sans ticket – to his next of kin.The family’s lawyer, Manuel Quintans, reckons the ticket could have been cashed before news of Villasante’s death was made public – a week after the event. Efforts are now being focused upon tracking down the culprit who intercepted the ticket and cheated Villasante’s family of their lifelong dream.
The relatives scoured his house from top to bottom once they knew he held a winning ticket, and set the police on to the undertakers whom they accused of rifling the dead man’s clothing. Now they conclude that someone must have taken the ticket from Villasante’s pocket before he was buried.The old man, a bachelor of 76, collapsed in the street early on 26 January and was taken to the local hospital of the Galician fishing village of Pobra do Caraminal, where he died. THE LOTTERY ticket bought by a man in north-western Spain who died before he could claim his pounds 20,000 prize has been cashed, but no one knows by whom.
This bombshell has torpedoed efforts by relatives of Juan Villasante to exhume his body in the belief that he carried the ticket to his grave after his fatal heart attack on the day of the draw. If there is no obstacle I will come with it.”

The Prophet was persecuted there by its idolatrous citizenry, who tortured and killed many of his disciples; yet when he returned as a conqueror 10 years on, he forgave those who had wronged him and rejected revenge.The journalists who hound you know nothing of this, of course. In 1989 it was alleged that he shot at an unemployed studio worker, Ricardo Alvarez, at almost point-blank range, but that Alvarez did not report this due to Brando’s connections.At the trial the senior Brando tried to take some of the blame for what happened. His private life might be summed up by a remark the dead girl once made, “He uses women, he used my mother”. The final, haunting, professional comment might be that of Joanne Woodward, who co-starred with him in The Fugitive Kind: “I hated working with Marlon Brando – because he was not there, he was somewhere else There was nothing to reach on to.”. So you’re off to God’s own House of Correction? Excellent: nothing like enduring the austerities of the Mecca pilgrimage for inspiring penitence and stiffening the moral fibres.
By converting to Islam in your Indiana cell, you won a bout with Old Nick – now you have a chance to earn that victory. No doubt your travelling companion Muhammad Ali has told you why you are going. The Hajj is about returning to the centre, focusing on unity, letting the centripetal force of God win out for a few days over the dissipating trends of the world. Caught up in its rites, milling with the millions around the Holy Kaaba like moths around a candle, we forget the four points of the compass and discover a liberating ability to connect with what lies beyond.
I hope this works for you. Like you, I was brought up in Christendom, and I found my first Hajj so unfamiliar and astonishing that I prayed hardly at all. Nowhere else, not even at Disney World, do so many people come together in one place.
Standing, praying, eating, talking with 2 million other men and women from every race is a dazzling confirmation of one’s own insignificance and of the global fellowship that is Islam.The Saudis have promised you red carpet treatment. In 1986 young Brando assaulted his estranged wife, Mary McKenna Brando, and threatened to shoot her some months later during divorce proceedings. She was questioned by the French authorities, who declared her “mentally incompetent”. The son born prematurely was said to be “drug-addicted”.Cheyenne was said to have attempted suicide twice before the case came to trial, in February 1991, when the prosecution came up with earlier examples of Christian’s violence. Christian claimed that the shooting was accidental, but that Drollet had been beating up Cheyenne – who fled to Tahiti when it was thought that “accessory” charges would be brought.
In May 1990 Christian Brando was accused of killing her lover, Dag Drollet, in an argument in Brando’s Los Angeles villa. He was said to be selling the island, but in 1988 was reported to be living there with a Japanese lady, Yachio Tsubaki.In 1989 Cheyenne was injured in a jeep crash on the island, and Brando blamed the accident for her subsequent bouts of depression. If he could convince me to pay him and then release him he would.”John Malkovich, like most contemporary actors in thrall to Brando’s early talent, once observed that Brando simply liked to enjoy himself; he liked jokes, larking around; and that he shouldn’t be criticised for what he now did because he had achieved so much.Brando’s personal tragedies began in 1982 when his lawyer-agent, Norman Garey, who had presided over all his recent deals, shot himself; and when in 1983 Tetiaroa was struck by a hurricane, wiping out almost all his investment, he needed to work for those inflated sums. He felt similarly; Richard Donner, who directed Superman, reported: “I checked him out with various people and the one thing they all said was that Brando didn’t like to work. Despite the much-publicised troubles on Mutiny on the Bounty, he managed to retain control over most of the films in which he consented to appear. There were those willing to pay Brando’s huge fees for prestige purposes, for results as grotesque and overblown as his figure: Superman (1978), Apocalypse Now (1979), Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992) He was no longer to be savoured, but avoided.
Like the vast majority of men I’ve had several homosexual experiences and I’m not remotely ashamed of it.”The other consequence of the expedition to the South Seas was Brando’s purchase of the island of Tetiaroa, where he communed with the sea and the sky, emerging to make a series of mainly indifferent films. In her book Brando for Breakfast Kashfi claims that he was also courting the actresses France Nuyen and Rita Moreno.Cameron Mitchell, acting with him in Desire, recalled Brando announcing “I’m trisexual”. That became publicly known in 1983 when Brando told the French magazine Cine-Revue that he had “dabbled” in homosexuality: “For me sex is something you can’t describe If you like, let’s say sex has no sex. She charged Brando with mental cruelty in filing suit in August 1959, after legally separating in September the previous year. A son, Christian, had been born in May, named after the actor Christian Marquand whose relationship with Brando “displayed an affection towards each other that far overreached the usual expressions of friendship”.
