Terry Gilliam Talks Python, ‘Dr. Parnassus’

Comedian and director on the legendary comedy troupe, Heath Ledger’s last movie.

As a result, they seem aloof from their characters, despite excellent moments from William Trevitt as the Fox and Peter Abegglen as the Cock, and wonderfully attacking dance by Stuart Cassidy as the Cat and Adam Cooper as the Goat. This may sound politically incorrect, but not if you had seen the Cock strutting about with a huge red pad representing an erect penis. Fox is hungry; Fox wants to eat Cock; Goat and Cat lynch Fox He dies That is just about it At one point, the Cock offers the Fox his ‘wives’. So it was with high hopes that audiences came last week to the premiere of Renard, another Page short ballet It is quite different and not nearly as good. A new William Forsythe ballet and a new showcase production of The Sleeping Beauty were rolled over to the 1994-95 season because of financial problems.

American audiences have already seen the new Sleeping Beauty, which was acclaimed on two US tours earlier this year. Nevertheless, one unexpected smash-hit did emerge: it was Ashley Page’s sleek post-modernist short ballet, Fearful Symmetries. Schedules were packed with performances of the disappointing Don Quixote and the sweet but silly Tales of Beatrix Potter, just like the season before. There were no new full-length productions, and only four new short ballets were performed at Covent Garden. THE Royal Ballet’s 1993-94 season ended last night on a high note: the sound of ballet-lovers trumpeting the end of the most artistically impoverished programme for years.

Although the up-tempo songs were generally less interesting than the ballads, his best singing came on a fast ‘Blue Skies’ in which he barely touched the melody while devising a series of cryptic variations worthy of Lester Young.Just in case God was smiling too kindly on his renaissance, however, somebody had found him an accompanying trio of risible ineptitude. The pianist sounded like a man who had learnt to copy his idols and then lost heart, the drummer seemed to be waiting for the second coming of John Coltrane, and the bassist – well, the best you could say for this poor fellow was that at least he was doing something relatively harmless, rather than flying an airliner or performing brain surgery Fortunately, as we know, Jimmy Scott is a born survivor.. In jazz this is not unknown among instrumentalists (Charlie Parker, no less, had a similar tendency), but in a singer it seems more blatant, and takes more getting used to, and in a veteran it can seem misleadingly like the effect of infirmity.Scott sang several of his most familiar pieces, such as ‘Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool’ (which he recorded with Lionel Hampton in 1950), ‘Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child’ and ‘Embraceable You’ (which, he announced, he once sang with Parker). To those seeing him for the first time, the principal surprise was that this languid slow-motion delivery is accompanied by an entire lexicon of body language, an unbroken flow of bird-like hand and arm gestures and torso bends which help reshape the songs through their swoops and flutters.In person, too, the question of his intonation became unavoidable.

Now, following several decades of obscure and sporadic activity, his voice has inevitably lost some of its firmness and elasticity, but enough inherent quality remains, as in the latter days of Holiday and Mercer, to indicate his gift for the sort of phrasing and melodic invention that can reopen the meaning of a song.
His speciality is the sort of dead-slow tempo that gives him full scope to linger on the essence of a single word. But Scott is not a soul singer – not, at least, in the conventional sense. At the Purcell Room on Friday, in front of a small audience of torch-song connoisseurs and metropolitan sensation-seekers, he proved himself to be considerably more than merely this week’s solution to a jaded palate

Scott’s calling card is a reedy alto voice. JUST IN time, Jimmy Scott is taking his place among the century’s great American popular singers. All of us were saying, ‘They’re going to let that weirdo reproduce?’ David Letterman found a better word for it: ugh..

The reporter wound up with the revelation that Mr and Mrs Jackson were looking forward to converting their bliss into a whole bunch of kids.

But it was really an excuse for Freddie to disgorge the wadding from his cheeks at the end like a lunching marsupial: Freddie Starr is my hamster.And finally. Tuesday’s News at Ten (ITV) ended with an uplifting story about the marriage of one Lisa Marie Presley to a man who until recently was better known for being Peter Pan than Mr Darling. Freddie used to have the frantic fascination of a clockwork drummer, but the mechanism is worn now and what remains is a sort of sad flailing. Of the umbilical knot tightening before it’s severed.While some humans sup with angels, it’s as well to remember that others watch Freddie Starr (ITV).

While Boeing also lowered its 2009 earnings outlook to between$4.70 and $5.00 per share, that range was still above WallStreet’s average expectation of $4.61 per share. Excluding one-time items, Boeing’s profit beat marketexpectations by a few pennies, but the steady production programcommanded most market attention. “The thing that shocked me was they didn’t bring down any moreproduction rates. I think this was an opportunity for them to doit,” said Alex Hamilton, senior managing director at Jesup &Lamont Securities.

“The consensus is that they need to bring these down.” Shares of Boeing, a Dow component, were up 2 percent at $37.39at midday on the New York Stock Exchange, after rising more than 3percent earlier. Boeing warned this month that its first-quarter profit wouldbe hurt by lower-than-expected aircraft prices.

carriers like AMR Corp (AMR.N), UAL Corp (UAUA.O) andContinental Airlines (CAL.N) all reported first-quarter losses. So far in 2009, Boeing has seen more cancellations than ordersfor jets. In the first quarter, the company booked 28 orders, butremoved 32. “The expanded global economic downturn is presentingunprecedented challenges in our commercial airplane markets,”Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney said in a statement. “Performance across the overwhelming majority of our programsremains solid, and we are making progress toward our milestones onthe 787 (Dreamliner) and other important programs,” he said BEATS EXPECTATIONS The world’s No. 2 planemaker said its first-quarter profit was$610 million, or 86 cents per share, compared with $1.21 billion,or $1.62 per share, a year earlier.

The results include the previously announced 38 cent-per-share reduction from revised twin-aisle commercial airplaneproduction rates and lower price escalation forecasts. The profit also was hurt by “a less favorable delivery mix indefense and higher expense for research and development,” Boeingsaid. Excluding items, the company earned 87 cents per share,compared with a Wall Street consensus forecast for 91 cents pershare, according to Reuters Estimates Total revenue rose 3 percent to $16.5 billion.

The Palestinian leader must have known what the likely consequences of this were going to be.On the other hand, he did not have much choice. Mr Arafat’s ability to survive political disasters is due to the fact that he never moves far from the mainstream of Palestinian public opinion. Over the last year there were no suicide attacks for two reasons: Hamas was savagely repressed by Mr Arafat’s security men, and ordinary Palestinians were against more bombs After Har Homa this changed. Danny Rubenstein, an acute observer of Palestinian politics for the daily Haaretz, says: “It wasn’t Arafat who gave Hamas the green light, but the broad public in the West Bank and Gaza, which urged Hamas to take action.”This means that the Palestinian leader’s position is stronger than it looks. If anything goes wrong – and Gaza and the West Bank are currently sealed off by Israel, crippling their economies – then it will be because of policies that most Palestinians supported. Mr Arafat’s position is also sustained by a certain balance of power, though deeply unstable, between Israel and the Palestinians.

Israel clearly has military superiority, but after the start of the Intifada in 1987 it had difficulty in holding on to the occupied territories in the face of Palestinian resistance. Israeli desire to end this confrontation produced the Oslo accords.Once its troops had left most of Gaza and the main population centres of the West Bank in 1994-95, Israel had no choice but to rely on Mr Arafat for its security. The only alternative would be to reinvade the Palestinian enclaves. But this would mean a much wider war, with heavy Israeli casualties. There is no consensus for such a prolonged confrontation in Israel. Mr Netanyahu did not win the election last year by promising to tear up Oslo.

Instead his winning slogan was “peace with security”, and a pledge to voters that this could be achieved without substantial territorial concessions to the Palestinians.Many of Mr Netanyahu’s problems stem from his attempt to deliver on his electoral promises. He says that he will not accept a Palestinian state, but envisages something more on the lines of Andorra (this ignores the fact that Mr Arafat already has 40,000 men under arms). This Palestinian state of Andorra will be a peculiar place, capable of stopping everybody from Hamas suicide bombers to rioting schoolboys, but otherwise happy to exist within the boundaries of impoverished cantons, bisected by Israeli settlements and roads.The previous Israeli government realised that they could not have their cake and eat it Mr Arafat was never going to be their tame policeman Nor would he have lived very long if he had tried. Optimists in Jerusalem comfort themselves with the thought that Mr Netanyahu has no alternative to Oslo.

They are probably right, but there is little sign that he knows that. Instead he has stopped the peace process at a fatal half-way house so neither Israel nor the Palestinians fully control the West Bank. And as friction between the two increases, the way has inevitably opened for the return of the suicide bomber.. There was a glimpse yesterday of a different, older, grander, Conservatism. The bright young suits at Central Office admit freely to having echoed their predecessors of a generation ago with a souped-up version of the slogan which helped Harold Macmillan to a landslide in 1959 “Britain is booming. Don’t let Labour blow it,” is a conscious translation into Saatchi-ese of “Life’s better under the Conservatives.

Don’t let Labour ruin it.”

The 1997 slogan is not risk-free. It uses a dangerous word; research shows that some voters, invited to free associate about the word “boom” in the manner of TV game shows, automatically come up with “bust”. It requires the same electors who were told that the recession was caused by world factors beyond the control of the British government to believe that the recovery is entirely of that same government’s making. It starkly exposes the fact that the tax argument isn’t what it was in 1992: the Tories cannot promise to reduce the overall tax burden in the lifetime of the next Parliament any more than Labour can.

“They need good quality service and I’m talking Alan Hinton, John Robertson-type,” he said. “We lost five players at the end of last season and bought two and the coaching staff said they were short last season as it was.”In a week that saw Dutch football highlight the inadequacies of the British game it is ironic that the first casualty in the shake-up could be Glenn Helder, who was Graham’s last signing. Whether or not it was the indignation of being overtaken in the league by Spurs, but the Arsenal manager, Bruce Rioch, was talking in terms of a major overhaul at Highbury on Saturday after watching his side scramble a point against a Chelsea team whose own rebuilding programme looks well on the way. After all, this week saw the granting of pounds 23m from the Millennium Commission which will be used to transform Hampden Park from its drab state to Scottish football’s field of dreams. Eighty-seven minutes spent deservedly second best until Lee Dixon’s bolt from the blue left Rioch to reflect: “There’s more work that needs to be done here than people imagine.”
The previous incumbent,Rioch said , had spoken of the need to rebuild just prior to his departure and he was not about to disagree.The club may have a tradition for producing their own but if Arsenal are to maintain the level of success they enjoyed under George Graham, Rioch’s transfer involvement is unlikely to stop at the pounds 13m he spent during the summer.Rioch is known to be bitterly dissatisfied with the service – particularly from the flanks – supplied to the front men and his own signing, David Platt, whose goal-scoring potential, he said, was not being properly exploited because of it.

The move paid off within seven minutes as Gallen came deep, fed Trevor Sinclair whose long cross to Hateley earned the header down that Impey gratefully converted.Bolton remain watchable – and bottom. Rangers, scrapping around in midfield and picking up the pieces off Hateley, moved out of the relegation zone.

Ray Wilkins again left himself out and Simon Osborn, who answered Hateley’s prompt with a 20-yard shot for his first Rangers goal, was – to his palpable frustration – substituted midway through the second half. But the acquisition of a Premiership-quality goal-hanger is a pressing need.While Bolton place justifiable faith in the guile and thrust of Sellars and Curcic, QPR eschewed the use of a midfield creator for too long. There was an almost celebratory tone to the Endsleigh expectations of QPR supporters writing in A Kick Up The R’s bemoaning the departure of “Leslie” Ferdinand. After his ring-rusty successor Mark Hateley had, however, set up two goals for a first victory in 10 weeks – the last, not altogether surprisingly, came at Bolton – it was the visitors who were left dusting off their Endsleigh road maps.
Bolton, despite some excellent passing movements, have lost direction on their Premiership travels and are yet to gain so much as a point away from Burnden Park this season.The introduction of two class acts in midfield will bolster their cause, with a typically penetrating run from the Serbian Sasa Curcic setting up Scott Sellars, the erstwhile Newcastle United playmaker, to lash a 20-yard shot in off the post for an equaliser.

“He will make mistake after mistake and keep giving everything he’s got,” Merrington said.”A bit harsh,” Harry Redknapp observed wryly. “But he does make the odd mistake without letting it worry him He has been a tremendous signing for us for pounds 150,000. Bishop, to his credit, was as calm and constructive as anyone, but it was a former Southampton player – albeit of a subtly different style from Le Tissier – who emerged with much of the credit for their late but successful recovery.Even the compliments paid to a player like Iain Dowie tend to be of the back-handed variety. Ian Bishop got the crucial touch, however, steering his header into his own net.After that, it was a matter of whether the Hammers could redress that wrong. He came to see me about it and we’ve taken one source of pressure off him.”Floating between the front line and midfield, Le Tissier showed enough of his inimitable skill to raise hopes that allowing Barry Venison to lead the side out as well as doing most of the shouting will work out well for all concerned.He also had the satisfaction of flighting in the corner that produced a goal, comically against the run of play, that put the Saints ahead midway through the first half. Dave Merrington was as close to anger as he gets over reports before this match that he had taken a sabre to Matthew Le Tissier’s captaincy epaulettes.

After playing for a season and a half with the Detroit Lions, Tatum sold cell phones at a mall kiosk in Aurora, Colorado before his old coach called him up and asked if he would come work out with the team. The Belgian Economy Ministry said at the weekend it haddecided to proceed this year with the sale of a fourth licencein an effort to increase competition.

Prior to his final race, he had six rides, all on Landican Lane, and finished unplaced on each occasion.”It is very sad,” Lord Oaksey, the chairman of the Injured Jockeys’ Fund, said yesterday “He had seemed to be on the way back, so to speak. He wasn’t talking but he had communicated with his family and they were pretty hopeful, but he died at six o’clock on Sunday morning. It is obviously a terrible blow.”Radford is the first rider to die as the result of a fall on a British track since Richard Davis suffered fatal injuries at Southwell in 1996, and the first Flat jockey since Steve Wood, who was trampled after being unseated at Lingfield in 1994.Radford is not the oldest rider to have taken part in a horse race. Harry Beasley was 83 when he rode in his last race in 1935, while Victor Morley Lawson rode his first winner at Kempton in 1973 at the age of 67. Earlier this season, Pal Kallai, 67, contested a Group Three event at Baden-Baden, while Lester Piggott, now 65, is due to return to the saddle for the Emirates Airlines Legends race at Flemington Park, in Australia, a week on Saturday.However, in the aftermath of his serious fall, the combination of Radford’s age and relative inexperience led some to question whether he should have been riding in a competitive event. At the time, both John Maxse, the Jockey Club’s spokesman, and Dr Michael Turner, the Club’s chief medical officer, emphasised that Radford’s age had nothing to do with his injury, a subdural brain haemorrhage. “Injuries of this type can occur in all age groups, it could happen to a 20-year-old,” Dr Turner said.

“There is nothing that we are the least bit concerned about regarding his fitness to hold the licence and ride.”Their views were echoed by Buck Jones, the trainer of Landican Lane “Trevor’s a very fit man,” he said after the accident. “It was his ambition to ride on the racecourse, that’s why he bought this horse. Trevor came in three days a week to muck out and ride out before going to work They put him through the hoop when he got his licence. He was perfectly capable of doing a job, and he had several rides on that horse.”Radford’s death is the latest reminder that every jockey is one misplaced stride away from possible disaster. Riding horses at speed, particularly over fences, is inherently dangerous, but misfortune can still strike anywhere, and at any moment. Just three days ago, Paul Carberry, one of National Hunt’s finest jockeys, was thrown from his mount Harbour Pilot before they had even reached the first flight in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse. Yesterday it emerged that he will be out of action for a minimum of three months.The accident occurred on Carberry’s first day back in the saddle after a five-week layoff with ligament problems.

“He broke his leg below the knee,” Noel Meade, Harbour Pilot’s trainer, said yesterday, “and he has had an operation to insert a pin or a rod in. It is a very clean break and the operation has been a success. They didn’t say how long he will be out but it will be a minimum of three months. He’s having a rough time.”Meade said that he will use “the best rider available” during his stable-jockey’s absence, while Willie Mullins is also searching for a partner for Florida Pearl, who is due to return to action in a valuable race at Down Royal a week on Saturday.Laffit Pincay became the first jockey to win 9,000 races, when he partnered Chichim to victory at Santa Anita on Saturday. Pincay, 53, completed a five-timer at the meeting, becoming the first jockey in the track’s history to win five stakes races on the same day. Pincay became the world’s most successful jockey when he broke Bill Shoemaker’s record of 8,833 winners last December.. The king has lost his crown.

The king has lost his crown. After yesterday’s shock draw in the 13th game of the Braingames World Chess Championship at the Riverside Studios in West London, reigning champion Garry Kasparov, 37, almost certainly faces a sensational defeat at the hands of his former pupil and fellow Russian, Vladimir Kramnik, 12 years his junior.
Two games down with just three to play, and with only one more opportunity to use the advantageous white pieces, it will now take a miracle for Kasparov to retain his title.After only 14 moves of yesterday’s game, the audience was stunned to see Kasparov push a button on the table next to him, turning on a light above the small stage where play has gone on for the past three weeks. It signified he was offering a draw to his opponent, even though he appeared to be in a strong position and the game was in its early stages. As in many previous games, Kasparov had seemed ill-at-ease throughout, shaking his head and looking up to the ceiling as if in an agony of despair.At a brief press conference after the game he was asked bluntly what was wrong. “It is a long story and I will tell all when the match is over. But obviously there are reasons which prevented me from playing well,” he replied, adding that the schedule of four games a week had been difficult for him He would say nothing more. He looked a broken man, both physically and mentally.His short statement added fuel to speculation that some kind of personal problem has been weighing on Kasparov’s mind.

Sure, he [O'Leary] disagrees but maybe that is because the red card has happened to his team.”Villa overcame the loss of Solano by immediately taking the lead through Hughes’ own goal from the subsequent free-kick, but Lomano LuaLua’s superb goal before half-time earned a point for Pompey.Neither Villa nor Pompey have won a Premiership match since April but while Perrin has struggled to add top quality to a new-look side, O’Leary is gradually boosting his armoury.He said: “We are a good unit already and we will do well this season. Nobby tried to brush the fellow away.”The bans that have been rescinded have been right Hopefully, ours will be the same. He’s not even hit him, but we had to do without an influential player for 80 minutes.”O’Leary, who has added to his ranks by finally securing the signature of the striker Milan Baros from Liverpool for £6.5m and may give the Czech his debut at home to Blackburn on Saturday, will get no support from Portsmouth’s manager, Alain Perrin.The Frenchman said: “Hughesy deserved a yellow card. The difference in the other cases which were overturned is that they [the referees] admitted they made mistakes.”I thought this was a joke Nobby Solano a violent player? Give me a break He’s had his shirt ripped off on the way through. But this time O’Leary is taking on one of the most eagle-eyed officials in the business in the referee, Graham Poll.O’Leary said: “It is only a hope although I will definitely be appealing [for wrongful dismissal].”The referee has interpreted the offence as violent conduct. The Aston Villa manager, David O’Leary, has added to the early-season pressure on Premiership referees by labelling the red card given to Nolberto Solano against Portsmouth “a joke”.

The Peruvian midfielder was sent off after just 11 minutes in the 1-1 draw at Fratton Park last night for apparently elbowing Richard Hughes.
O’Leary, however, disputes that the offence was violent and will makehis view clear to the Football Association disciplinary committee. In the light of recent events he may have a chance, as three of six previous dismissals this have been after been rescinded after video analysis.West Ham’s Paul Konchesky, Sunderland’s Andy Welsh and Newcastle’s Jermaine Jenas have all been let off suspensions after being dismissed. The Chelsea striker forced home his side’s third on 68 minutes when Asier del Horno found the striker two yards from goal.The fourth was Lampard’s second and owed much to the perseverance of Arjen Robben who, tackled twice, regained possession and, with Hernan Crespo’s help, found the England midfielder eight yards from goal.Chelsea (4-1-4-1): Cudicini; G Johnson, Gallas, Terry, Del Horno; Makelele; Wright-Phillips (Duff, 79), Lampard, Essien, J Cole (Robben, 69); Drogba (Crespo, 71). Substitutes not used: Cech (gk), Carvalho.West Bromwich Albion (4-5-1): Kirkland; Albrechtsen, Gaardsoe, Clement, Robinson; Greening (Ellington, 71), Scimeca, Chaplow, A Johnson (Inamoto, 60), Kamara; Kanu.

Substitutes not used: Kuszczak (gk), Moore, Earnshaw.Referee: M Halsey (Lancashire).. As the siege massed around West Brom’s goal in the second half, Kirkland saved superbly from a Drogba header and then picked himself up to stop Essien from burying a loose ball.Another mistake by Gaardsoe on 65 minutes allowed Cole to slip the ball through for Drogba to run clear on goal but he could not out-sprint Clement. For the opening stages these two newly assembled sides afforded each other barely a glimpse of goal, and then Robson’s team collapsed without warning.Thomas Gaardsoe hit a poor pass to Neil Clement and when he failed to control it, Shaun Wright-Phillips, making his first Chelsea start, stole in to feed the ball to Didier Drogba. The striker crossed for Lampard who finished from close range.The second came two minutes before half-time and arrived when Paul Robinson lost Wright-Phillips on the goal-line on the left flank of the area allowing the winger to cut back towards goal and cross for Cole to finish.He is in the team for now but Drogba struggles to advance his case with every missed opportunity and although he finally beat Chris Kirkland in the 68th minutes, there should have been more before then. A ruthless new approach to the business of surviving in the top flight and the irony was that, for 22 minutes at least, it appeared to be working nicely.Mourinho had given Michael Essien his first start at the expense of Eidur Gudjohnsen, Joe Cole was back from his temporary exile and in the spirit of forgiveness, Ricardo Carvalho, the original squad-rotation rebel, returned to the bench.

Now the ball ran for Hasselbaink, the home defence freezing before him, the Dutchman driving the ball home from just inside the penalty area.Now Leeds, sensing the opposition’s disarray, went for the jugular and Hasselbaink, fed by Harry Kewell, skipped through for his second goal five minutes from time.. Liverpool claimed another penalty when Woodgate brought down Thompson but as Gallagher waved away their appeal, Leeds broke swiftly and when a shot by David Hopkin was blocked, the ball sat up for Smith, who had just come on, to push it wide of James.Moments later, Liverpool were incensed again when a challenge by Hopkin on the substitute Oyvind Leonhardsen went unpunished and again Leeds took advantage. Riedle was helped off in a daze as Fowler slid his penalty to Martyn’s left.But Liverpool’s joy lasted only 10 minutes before it was overturned amid acrimony. Then Martyn pulled off a memorable save to turn a powerful effort by Fowler around the post.After 68 minutes Liverpool went ahead through a penalty converted by Fowler The adjudged offender was Martyn, harshly perhaps. He and Riedle jumped for David Thompson’s ball and, though the Leeds goalkeeper appeared to make a legitimate attempt at a punched clearance, he flattened the German striker and the referee Dermot Gallagher pointed to the spot. In 20 minutes of Liverpool pressure, Riedle and Redknapp both went close as the home side won a string of corners before Redknapp, jinking his way into the penalty area on the left, beat Nigel Martyn with a curling shot that almost crept inside the far post. Long passes towards the front pair were mopped up easily by the three Leeds centre-backs, even when one of them, Hiden, had to leave the field for the last few minutes of the first half after a clash of heads with Riedle.Liverpool began the second period with fresh ideas and invigorated motivation, working the ball through the middle more.

Only once did Liverpool produce a threatening moment, the Leeds defender Martin Hiden whipping the ball away from Riedle’s feet after Berger, released by Redknapp’s precision pass, pulled the ball back from the byline on the left.Tactically, Liverpool had been getting nowhere. The atmosphere into which they stepped was not, perhaps, as they would have liked it.Anfield was in shock, still trying to come to terms with the week’s developments There was no great welcome for the new regime. In one corner of the ground, a banner read: “Thanks, Roy.” Many did clamour for Evans to go but now it has happened there is sadness that an honourable man with Liverpool in his soul has had to acknowledge his failure.In the first half, the football was as subdued as the audience. Having led after 68 minutes, their confidence was shattered when Leeds scored twice in the space of little more than 60 seconds.Houllier said: “The game changed completely in those seconds.

I had been pleased with the way we were playing, but our confidence is thin and I had a feeling the equaliser could have dreadful consequences, especially since we thought we should have had a penalty just before Leeds scored. I now have ahead of me a football job and a pyschological job, both to strengthen the team and to restore their mental strength.”Houllier, who replaced Brad Friedel in goal with David James and recalled Jamie Redknapp, Patrik Berger and Karlheinz Riedle, took his place in the dug-out from the start, his assistant Phil Thompson alongside him a considerably more animated figure, shouting and gesticulating, jumping to his feet from time to time. Like his teammate, the defender Jonathan Woodgate, Smith was available only because the Uefa Under-18 tournament due to have taken place in Israel this weekend was cancelled.Houllier will point to the absence through injury of Michael Owen and Steve McManaman as making his task more difficult, but the presence of neither would have made up for the defensive deficiencies that again let Liverpool down. To the dismay of a full-house crowd drawn to witness the start of the Gerard Houllier era, the team that Roy Evans handed over last week suffered a third consecutive home defeat as Leeds overturned the deficit of a penalty midway through the second half to score three goals in the space of seven minutes.Leeds, themselves trying to rebuild after the departure of George Graham, chalked up their first away win of the season and only their second at Anfield in 19 visits, bouncing back from their midweek Worthington Cup defeat at Leicester to win with a debut goal from the 18-year-old substitute Alan Smith and two from their Dutch striker, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. All along, they knew that Evans understood their frustration The end of an era? Evans was asked ” ‘Tis for me,” he said..

Fowler pen 68 Smith 79, Hasselbaink 81, 86
Half-time: 0-0 Attendance: 44,305LIVERPOOL ARE under new management, but the crisis at Anfield is a long way from being solved. A schizophrenic atmosphere had pervaded Anfield in recent weeks as the crowd wrestled with their anger and their abiding sense of loyalty to the club rather than this mercurial team. After the prolonged managerial circuses at Leeds and Tottenham, the executions at Liverpool were commendably clean.It is a measure of the respect in which Evans was held in the city, both halves as it happens, that the Kop turned on the team well before they pinpointed the easier target in the dug-out. Nor was there any question about the strength of the entente cordiale between Houllier and Evans “It’s not about personalities,” Evans added. “It’s about the club.” Though offered a post upstairs, Evans did not want to be a “ghost on the wall” as he put it Liverpool have enough of those to fill the Walker Gallery. It was actually Evans himself who first voiced the disquiet in the offices of his chairman, not the other way around.

And when Moores said, close to tears, that he had known Evans from boyhood and that their relationship would not be affected, no one was in any doubt about the robust certainty of the statement. The Kop’s general idea of what is required involves a row of millionaires’ backsides and a pair of size tens.Roy Evans will probably not feel it, though he might wake up this morning with a genuine sense of relief that the problems are no longer his, but there was widespread approval at the way the handover – dismissal and resignation seem too coarse words for Evans – was engineered. Judging by his written work, Houllier’s tactical team talks may as well be delivered in Swahili for all the sense Jason McAteer will make of them. It is hard to imagine Jack the Lad locals like Fowler and MacManaman, arch exponents of the “verbal dance” once outlined by Alan Bennett as the chief characteristic of the Liverpudlian, searching deep into well-padded souls to dredge up that extra ounce of spirit on Houllier’s behalf. Thompson has been hired to put the boot back into the Boot Room. But whether that combination will prove any more effective than the cuddly double-act performed by Houllier and Evans, which the press rightly divined as being unworkable from day one, is open to debate.Houllier is a studious man, educated, elegant, the author of Entraineur: Competence and Passion and the architect of the highly successful youth development system in France.

He relaxes his fit-looking, casually clothed 50-year-old body onto a bench seat He speaks as he sings: softly, gently He breathes words. Still nobody is there to answer the phone, so we introduce ourselves, shake hands, and I’m thinking: “This is him.”

This is the man who sang “She’s Not There”, the song that established the Zombies the same month in 1964 that “She Loves You” entered the charts. Colin Blunstone pushes the door open cautiously, as if entering a church It’s not a church, though It’s the office of his record company. The phone is warbling and nobody is there to greet him except me, and I’m thinking: “Is this him?” He nods at me, averting his eyes, and stands for a moment, awkwardly tall and thin, unconsciously flattening his longish hair. “See how I add the last bit,” he giggles, “so none of you feel insecure.”The hotel muzak persists in the background It’s “The Girl from Ipanema” McAlmont starts singing along There’s more to this man than his voice, but what a voice McAlmont will be lucky if he makes it big So will we.. Leaning over, he shouts: “Isn’t this better than being at some crappy TV show?”We’re back at the hotel once more and McAlmont is drunk as a skunk He’s showing off to all the straight guys “Does anyone want to try my cherry.. lip salve?” he asks. “It’s a place to hide.”It’s 10.30pm and we’re off to see Massive Attack, friends of McAlmont’s He grooves quietly to himself at the back of the hall.

“I’ve had a bad life, I deserve to be beautiful.”He says he is happier now than ever before But he knows the mouth of Pandora’s Box is wide open. “There’s nothing more hopeless on this planet than a pop musician – stardom is a sickness.” Why does he want it then? He giggles drunkenly. “As a child I got shut out so much by men.”School sounds hell. “The boys hate you and if the girls want to demonstrate they’re grown women they go for McAlmont.” (I blink at this use of the third person – he’s oblivious.) “Everyone would stand round watching McAlmont get beaten up by a girl.” His voice is wobbling. Was McAlmont too camp, or not camp enough? As Freud might have said: “What does the world want?”McAlmont is dwelling on rejection.

The producer walks off, muttering: “Liked the other one – it had more kick.”We’re back in the hotel – McAlmont is sure he’s been pulled because of complaints from Ulster’s religious groups. Kern thinks they were cut because “Be Mine” was too downbeat. The producer thinks McAlmont is going to perform “You Do” – with strings. It’s out of the question: McAlmont can’t do the number without Butler. The nice PR man persuades the producer to listen to “Be Mine” McAlmont tumbles straight into song: “Don’t leave I won’t let you.”McAlmont finishes Silence.

The Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” is still an annual fan favorite.

“I think I can take a turn on it,” said Scott McGlashan, director at Perpetual. “I don’t think it’s a long-term investment, but if the pricing is right, I’ll probably be a taker.”Japanese government bonds are likely to be little changed as global deflationary pressure may offset concern that a glut of bonds will flood the market.”It looks like a supply concern and a flight to quality are having a tug-of -war,” said Michiya Seki, a trader at New Japan Securities. And the market may be kept from sinking by government- linked pension funds to shore it up ahead of the states’s sale of its fourth tranche of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone this week. “It could be a trying week for the electricals.”Nor will any shortfall likely be made up at home. The nation’s GDP shrank a worse-than-expected 0.7 per cent in the quarter ending September against the previous quarter – 2.6 per cent on an annualised basis.Still, PC-related shares such as Nidec and Alps Electric could hold up even in a bear market, as their distinctive niches will likely bring in strong profits.

The dollar slumped nearly 4 per cent against the yen this week.
“If the yen is strong, the Nikkei can’t go up,” said Campbell Gunn at Meiji Dresdner Asset Management. “Foreigners traditionally buy export names, and Sony and Canon may have problems because the underlying demand is all outside Japan.”The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average fell 2.9 per cent to 14,639.97. It could fall to 14,200 said Celia Farnon at Nomura Securities.A strong yen could wipe out exporters’ windfall profits. Moreover, if Wall Street continues to weaken, companies that depend on robust US growth, or that are enmeshed in a complex network of supplier relationships, may fall further. “All eyes are on the yen and all eyes are on New York,” said Nomura’s Ms Farnon. JAPANESE stocks may slide if the yen continues its climb against the dollar, wreaking havoc on earnings at Canon and at other exporters that depend ever more on overseas sales as Japan’s economy wallows in its worst recession in five decades. The nation’s economy is on course to shrink for a second straight year, and exporters – Japan’s sole engine of growth – may see earnings stymied if the yen keeps strengthening against the dollar.

He will chair a committee overseeing the integration with the Bankers Trust CEO, Frank Newman, that will include Bankers Trust executives Yves De Ballman, Mayo Shattuck III and Mary Cirillo. The committee will also include Deutsche Bank’s heads of global markets and equities, Mitchell and Michael Philipp respectively.Bloomberg News Copyright: IOS & Bloomberg. Credit Suisse spent 20 years making its acquisition of First Boston work, including bailing it out.Ackermann has already picked his lieutenants. Having joined Credit Suisse in 1977, two years before it linked up with First Boston, he knows how hard it is for a European bank to succeed on Wall Street. The losses came from trading in emerging markets and in loans to hedge funds, businesses it hoped to reduce as it concentrated on investment banking.For Ackermann, persuading the Deutsche Bank board to buy Bankers Trust may have been the easy part.

Bankers Trust includes the recently- acquired former European equities arm of National Westminster Bank; the mergers specialist James D Wolfensohn; and Alex Brown, a Baltimore- based investment bank which it bought last year.”If there were a clear-cut Bankers Trust culture, it would be hard enough, but there are still remnants of NatWest, Wolfensohn and Alex Brown that need to be melded into one culture,” says Mark Hoge, a bank analyst at Credit Suisse.In the third quarter, Bankers Trust lost $488m, its largest quarterly setback since 1989. I’m fairly balanced, but I hate it when people spend too much time to make decisions on things that are a no-brainer.”Investors say Ackermann still faces an uphill struggle if he is to make the Bankers Trust acquisition work.”It’s not impossible, but it’s going to be very, very challenging,” says Raphael Soifer, a Brown Brothers Harriman analyst in New York.The task for Ackermann will be to blend the four firms that make up the US bank with those of Deutsche Bank. They first met on the board of Bayer, the German drugs and chemicals company.Ackermann is known for gathering opinions before making decisions. In September, at a three-day management retreat that he called at a spa in the hills behind Rome to decide on the future course of the investment banking group, Ackermann listened to each of the bankers give their presentations before drawing his own conclusions, and speaking himself on the final day.”He’s not a ra-ra kind of guy – he tends to make decisions quickly once he gets a lot of different points of view,” says Edson Mitchell, head of fixed income and currencies at Deutsche Bank, who attended the retreat.Ackermann himself says: “Sometimes people think I am too friendly.

The evidence of the refugees turning up in Zaire, however, would seem to indicate that the army is far from discerning in its choice of targets.Aid agencies, too, have suffered repeated attacks. Before Christmas, all the aid organisations, with the exception of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, pulled out of the region. “We are now moving back,” said a World Food Programme spokesman, “… but until we can get some assurance from the local administrators, we cannot be sure that we are safe.”It is thought unlikely that Burundi will be consumed by the same kind of genocide as witnessed in neighbouring Rwanda in 1994, if only because the two ethnic groups have been largely segregated; the Hutus in the countryside and the Tutsis in the towns.

For the moment, they say, they have no confidence in the government and, in any case, it is the largely Tutsi army that controls the country.The north-western provinces have become a virtual no-go area. But Medecins sans Frontieres personnel said they were seeing relatively few bullet wounds; most of the seriously wounded, they assume, are not making it across the Rusizi River.These people scoff at the suggestion that they might go home It is too dangerous, they say There must be peace and justice before they can return. And the army must become properly integrated, with both Hutus and Tutsis in its ranks. In all, more than 100,000 Burundian refugees now languish in the Uvira region.A man with his arm in a sling pointed to a scar on his arm. He said it was from a bullet wound he received when Burundian soldiers shot at him near the border. All the men and women in the group said they had lost friends or family members in attacks by the Burundian military.

We crossed the River Rusizi at night because the soldiers shoot at people crossing during the day.”Mr Nihizigama and his family are among more than 7,000 Hutu peasants who have recently fled into eastern Zaire from the Burundian provinces of Cibitoke and Bubanza. We heard they were looking for guerrillas but then they began killing ordinary people .. I ran away with my wife and children .. We had to hide for many days in the forest. DAVID ORR

A ragged and barefoot group gathers around Leonard Niyizigama, backs hunched against the wind that whips across the dusty hillside. Occasionally one of the group nods or murmurs in agreement as the story unfolds. It is a drama in which they have all played a part, for they have all fled their homeland in similar circumstances and have suffered similar hardships.”I and my family were living in Cibitoke,” said Mr Niyizigama, glancing over his left shoulder towards the Burundian border, which lies about 10 miles away among the green-blue hills “Then the army came. Interfax news agency reported that “illegal armed bands” had made 19 attacks in all, 13 of them in the capital Grozny..

We condemn terrorism and banditry.” he said.n Moscow – Six Russian soldiers were killed and two wounded in attacks by separatist rebels on Russian positions in Chechnya in the 24 hours up to yesterday afternoon. They are our neighbours.”Mr Maskhadov told the audience that the rebels were not bandits “We are not terrorists. “These lads saved their lives,” he said, referring to the fact that the rebels had taken them out of Pervomayskoye during the attack by the Russian forces “The Chechens said we could take our people home. A new life began for us after we sat for three days under the bombing in Pervomayskoye,” said Ruslan Magomedov, 23, a businessman from Kizlyar.Another hostage, Anatoly Zdebsky, 25, said he was happy to be going back to his family and bore no grudges against the Chechens. “They kept us in various homes, looked after us and fed us well,” he said.The buses crossed the Chechnya-Dagestan border at about 5pm Moscow time in the direction of the Dagestani town of Khasavyurt, reported Tass news agency.Before the release there was a meeting in the school attended by the Dagestani delegation and Chechen rebel leaders including the commander in chief, Aslan Maskhadov. Salman Raduyev, who led the rebel raid in Dagestan, was also there. But a group of rebels broke out of the besieged village, through Russian lines, and took some of their hostages with them.”They were good to us We had no problems It was like brother to brother.

Others were captured in the village of Pervomayskoye near the Chechnya-Dagestan border, where the convoy of rebels and hostages was blocked and surrounded by Russian troops.The Chechens are still holding some police commandos who were seized outside Pervomayskoye. They want to exchange them for rebels captured by the Russian forces.The village was almost totally destroyed when the Russian troops stormed it. Some people perched on trees to get a better view.Most of the hostages said they had been well treated by the rebels and some exchanged warm farewells with their captors.Some had been seized on 9 January, when the rebels herded 2,000 people into a hospital in the Dagestan town of Kizlyar to press their demands for Russian troops to be withdrawn from Chechnya after more than 13 months of conflict there.

Novogroznensky – Chechen rebels yesterday released 42 civilian hostages seized two weeks ago in the raid in the neighbouring region of Dagestan which ended in a bloody showdown with Russian troops.The hostages, looking tired but glad to be going home, left in a yellow bus from a two-storey school building in the eastern Chechen town of Novogroznensky.The bus, which followed a convoy of cars with Dagestani officials and religious leaders, wound through a crowd of several hundred Chechens chanting “Allahu Akhbar” (God is greatest).
