Those who received honorary degrees from Liverpool University during his years of public oratorship treasured the memory of the graceful eloquence with which he praised them.His friends were without number.H D. A profound knowledge of the wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy was placed at the service of the whole university. He rejoiced in the title of “Chairman of the Laid Down Wine Committee” His wit and charm lightened many an official occasion. He knew the King James Bible, the Book of Common Prayer and the classics of English literature even better than he knew the Iliad and the Odyssey. He saw out two professors of Greek and five of Latin, saluting and saying “Sir!” but always keeping his inner spirit free. He said what he thought and said it well, sometimes in verse.The congeries of departments called for most of the time when the “School of Classics” could not confine him.
When he returned to Oxford he had the good fortune to be taught by two very great ancient historians of diverse, even opposed, outlooks. Ronald Syme helped to prepare him for the “Greats” examination, and Hugh Last supervised a doctoral dissertation on the subject communities of central and southern Italy down to the Social War.Pinsent had the ambition of commenting on the second half of Livy’s first decade, but appointment to a position in Greek at Liverpool in 1950 instead of to the one in Latin for which he applied led him to turn his attention to Homer and Mycenaean archaeology. He flew Catilinas out of Loch Erne and a certain military bearing remained with him thereafter. Here Pinsent talked of everything from his doings on holiday to his views on the latest proposal to reform classical teaching.
Many British classicists continued to feel embarrassed by one aspect or another of the enterprise. Foreigners on the other hand found it amusingly British and entirely admirable.Pinsent’s Oxford studies were interrupted by service in the Royal Air Force. In time, he even came to indulge the more incorrigible lovers of footnotes.Many purchased or borrowed LCM – it tended to be stolen from libraries more often than any other classical periodical – if only to read the editorial. The philology of sex and certain modes of literary criticism imported from across the Channel offended his sense of decorum but he gave them space He permitted the incompetent to display their incompetence. The typing errors of LCM delighted the connoisseurs of such things.No aspect of the study of the classical world was barred. Just as importantly, he exercised his manifold powers of flattery and persuasion to drum up subscriptions for the new journal.In the early days he typed every number of LCM himself on stencils and reproduced them by means of an office duplicator Later he wrestled with the new print technologies.

Though Mr Freeman complied, the solicitor contacted him again to demand he remove a “hyperlink” to another site with the report, also on the basis of copyright. The solicitor’s letter said the hyperlink to a site in the US “is still publication” and would constitute breach of copyright.Nottinghamshire County Council declined to comment yesterday on its reasons for suppressing the report’s publication or its decision to describe hyperlinks as copyrightable. One source there said the council was anxious that the children involved in the Broxtowe case, now in their teens, should not suffer through having their past raked over in public.. Two teenage girls sent to a detention centre for three months yesterday for their part in a savage gang attack on a schoolmate who later killed herself, were last night travelling to Scotland’s only women’s prison. The report was originally intended for dissemination among social workers and police who might learn from its lessons. Mr Kelman said: “If they win that point then it means the collapse of the Net – the whole thing depends on links.”The three journalists, Nick Anning, David Hebditch and Margaret Jervis, put the content of the Joint Enquiry Team (JET) report into the 1988 Broxtowe Case on to a British site on the World Web at the end of last month Under the injunction, the text was removed on 3 June. “If the JET report had been made more widely available to social workers and police in 1990, would these cases have been handled differently?” they asked.Besides contacting the British site, the Nottinghamshire county solicitor has e-mailed Jeremy Freeman, owner of a Canadian Web site carrying the text of the report, demanding he remove it.
A number of those led to children being removed from their parents and being taken into care. The council subsequently decided not to publish it, though the social workers involved were free to put their own views through the media and in public meetings.In an earlier commentary on the report, the three journalists noted the number of alleged “satanic abuse” cases which cropped up in the UK after the report had been written. The injunction will be challenged in the High Court on 23 June.The JET report investigated the handling of satanic ritual abuse claims against children, and concluded that social workers had been too prepared to believe children over police.One conclusion comments: “The use of satanic indicators, which appeared so convincing, was disastrous”. In a move which has surprised experts, it has even claimed that “hyperlinks”, electronic pointers to other sites on the Web, can breach copyright. Hyperlinks are a standard tool connecting the millions of pages of data on the Web, often pointing between competing companies.
After all, the network was designed to withstand a nuclear attack; it can probably survive Nottinghamshire County Council.”The council is trying, though. Such “mirroring” is common among users of the Net to prevent the banning of material; a page can be copied and loaded onto a computer in moments, establishing a new presence.Alistair Kelman, a British lawyer specialising in electronic copyright law, said last night: “Once something’s been published on the Net, that’s it It’s out there. A county council is struggling to prevent the rapid spread on the Internet of a leaked report which strongly criticises its handling of allegations of satanic abuse of children in the 1980s. Nottinghamshire County Council has already served injunctions against four people, including a co-author of the 30,000-word report and three journalists, preventing them from reproducing or disseminating the report, claiming they are breaching copyright.
But yesterday at least six computers in four countries on the global computer network were carrying the full text of the report, which is highly critical of social workers in the county. Trainee teachers would be schooled in “traditional” teaching methods.However, she stressed the shift of emphasis would take place within the existing nine-subject national curriculum, which ministers have pledged will remain unchanged for children up to 14 until 2000.Teaching unions yesterday welcomed moves to concentrate on the basics, but warned against excessive government interference in the classroom.The National Association of Head Teachers cautioned against any attempt to prescribe a particular time slot for each of the basic skills.General secretary David Hart said most primary schools already ensured reading and writing took up a significant proportion of the timetable.”It is the quality of the teaching rather than the time spent which counts,” he said.Doug McAvoy, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said teachers “do not wish to see a return to the bad old days of imposition from the centre”.Ms Morris, addressing a conference held by the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority (SCAA), insisted the Government had no intention of dictating how, or what, schools should teach.However, she made clear that a daily literacy hour, recommended last February by a Literacy Task Force set up by Labour while in opposition, was looked upon favourably by ministers.. As an international study confirmed British pupils’ poor performance in the basics compared with competitor countries, ministers also announced schools would be urged to adopt more structured ways of teaching maths.
Schools minister Estelle Morris yesterday called for urgent action to address poor literacy and numeracy in primary schools and asked curriculum experts to advise schools on how to give a “sharper focus” to the three Rs.
Primary schools are to be encouraged to set aside an hour every day to teach children reading and writing to help boost standards in the three Rs. “It would be wrong of me to say anything else – oh yes, and sticky buns.”The Education Secretary said he had learnt his radicalism in his own school canteen. “We had sausages three times a week, while the headteacher tucked into steak It was my first introduction to a socialist cause.”. David Blunkett yesterday revealed his long-cherished plan to introduce mandatory nutritional standards for schools meals and then went off to meet children who eat chips with everything.
The Secretary of State for Education outlined his plans for “well-balanced meals” at the opening session of the Unison public service union annual conference in Brighton, and then encountered the reality of children’s’ diets when he went for lunch at Blatchington Mill comprehensive school at nearby Hove.
Mr Blunkett, a Unison member, said he was not declaring war on chips – one of his sons was a “chip fanatic” – but on constant junk food.He told 2,500 Unison delegates: “For nearly 18 years we have seen the quality of school dinners deteriorate and the number of children eating them drop significantly. In Norway, for instance, children do no start school until they are seven and in some countries a significant proportion of less able nine-year-olds is kept down.Estelle Morris, the school standards minister, said: “This survey shows only too clearly how much we have to do to raise standards in maths. It needs to be a decent meal, not junk.”"I do not want to declare war on chips, but on average our school children eat chips three times a week and we need to make sure that alternatives are also made attractive.”During the visit to the 1,500-pupil Blatchington Mill School, headteacher Neil Hunter was asked about his pupils’ preferences “Chips are very popular,” he replied. “For some, a school dinner is the only real meal a child gets in the day. If you are hungry and have a poor diet it is difficult to concentrate and to learn effectively.” Mr Blunkett said last year only 43 per cent of children took school meals compared with 64 per cent in 1979. Yet a balanced diet is crucial to their health and wellbeing.

Granada is in a good position to take advantage by moving many of Forte’s hotels to higher market tiers.Forte was late to rise to the challenge, hanging on to the well trusted business methods in the belief – and it was not alone – that the recession would be short-lived. Forte was quite happy to promote the notion that it was the single biggest hotel operator in the UK, but it was nothing other than a small fish in a small pond.Investors had to foot the bill for the management’s mistakes. Dividends were cut a couple of years ago and there was little prospect of any restoration of dividend payments until Granada launched its assault.Prospects for the hotel and leisure industries, which are increasingly interlocked, may look considerably brighter than for some time but Granada, despite its victory, is not going to be in a position to dictate the play..

Once they roamed the countryside drinking ginger beer and solving mysteries. Now the Famous Five have been condemned to London’s entertainment palace, the Trocadero – serving out their copyright.Enid Blyton’s characters have been sold off in a move not even Timmy the dog’s crime-busting skills could have prevented. For pounds 13m Trocadero plc has bought the remaining 43 years of copyright to all Blyton’s books – more than 600 titles, of which some 8.5 million are sold worldwide every year.The sale of Darrell Waters, the family company which owned all the rights, was agreed by descendants of the author who died in 1968.
Yesterday Blyton’s daughter Gillian Baverstock, who has run the business in recent years, admitted she had been unable to afford to keep it. “I did try to raise the finance to buy the company,” she said. “But the money required was so great, and so many people were interested … it was quite impossible.”The Trocadero at Piccadilly Circus, central London, which boasts shops and hi-tech computer games, is undergoing a pounds 45m refurbishment to create what its owners say will be the world’s largest indoor urban theme park. Noddy, Big Ears, the Secret Seven and other Blyton favourites will find a new home inside the park in a pounds 1m “interactive store” selling books, videos, games and tapes. Children will interact with the characters, “meet Noddy, shake hands with Big Ears and buy the merchandise,” said Nick Leslau, chief executive of Trocadero.Mrs Baverstock said that her mother would have been happy to know her work was being taken into the next century “She was very progressive .. way ahead of her time,” she said..

The hotel and leisure industries are rapidly splitting into two. One side is making a steady recovery from the recession, while most of the other is destined to be inscribed on an infamous roll call in memory of those who succumbed to greed and the excesses of the free-spending, care- free 1980s.
Granada is convinced it will feature high up on the winners list. It has argued that it can raise hotel prices and simultaneously extract plenty of cost savings out of Forte through redundancies, and from the benefits of stronger buying power – particularly for food.The take-over victory comes at a time when analysts are forecasting growth of 2.5 per cent in real disposable income for this year, on top of the 2.25 per cent recorded last year. Most of this increased spending power is probably earmarked for the leisure markets.Granada is in a good position. It will be able take advantage of the expected uplift in spending by repositioning many of Forte’s hotels in higher market tiers, mainly by beefing up the customer offering. Installing satellite television and telephones in the 127 Travelodge hotels, for instance, will give it leverage to charge higher prices.

When the Government temporarily released the Balcombe Street gang and the Milltown cemetery murderer to attend triumphalist rallies it made a serious error Instinctive revulsion was widely felt It placed the settlement in the balance. But there will be more shows like that and they, too, will have to be endured, no matter how stomach-churning they may be. The fact that the Prime Minister has assured us that prisoners will be released only “on licence” and that “if there is any reoffending then they will come back inside” is a small palliative. Vote “Yes” but know that it entails some offence to victims and to natural justice.The one thing that those who do vote “Yes” today have a legitimate right to expect is not to see the face of Gerry Adams or Martin McGuiness on their television screens above a caption reading “Minister in the Northern Ireland Government”. Mr Adams, Mr McGuiness and their allies in the IRA have not renounced violence.
If they had done so then the size of the “Yes” vote today would be in far less doubt. The Prime Minister has recognised this fear and explicitly promised that nobody who is engaged in terrorism can take their place in the government of Northern Ireland and that, if the organisations to which they are attached are engaged in violence or threatening violence they cannot take their place in the assembly itself. There must be no toleration of Sinn Fein passing themselves off as legitimate democrats whilst the IRA continues to believe that the Good Friday agreement is no more than a “significant development”. As long as Mr Blair does not appease them, the best way to test Sinn Fein is to vote “Yes” and force them to renounce violence.Despite the doubts, worries and fears that voters legitimately feel, to vote “No” would be by far the more certain way back to the abyss..
THE TIMING was suitably dramatic. Just as the Secretary of State for Culture, Chris Smith, was launching his book Creative Britain in a bash at the Tate Gallery on Thursday night, so the entire drama panel of the Arts Council made a crisis out of a drama and resigned en masse.
The new Council under Smith’s own appointee, the businessman Gerry Robinson, was alleged to be far from creative – run by businessmen and cost-cutters. “I am distressed,” said the panel’s chairwoman, Thelma Holt, the West End producer. “I’m Labour and I’ve worked for Labour but I did better under Virginia Bottomley.”As the news broke, Smith was chatting to her fellow authors Hanif Kureishi and Salman Rushdie, who also know a bit about how external events can overshadow your best literary efforts. In Smith’s case, though, he has brought the bad reviews upon himself.
You have to be flexible to get good deals on flights within the UK. ‘This could easily be the difference between obtaining or not obtaining a university place for a young adult.’Costs for an A-level student vary from pounds 1,000 a year to pounds 7,000, according to size of classes and teaching time. If the pound falls, say, 10 per cent, import prices will eventually rise by half that much, around 5 per cent, even making every possible allowance for businessmen being unable to pass on cost increases fully. The plot turns on the attempted kidnap of Olga (Clare Woodgate), said daughter, by a cell of funny-mask- wearing Czech separatist terrorists led by Frank Finlay.
Even though the house was gutted by fire in 1935 and rebuilt without much regard for authenticity, the local council has taken exception to four new UPVC windows with which the elderly owners replaced four rotten front windows eight years ago.
Although it took two years for anyone from the council to notice what they had done, the Greens are being obliged to have the plastic ones replaced with officially approved lattice frames made from traditional materials.

The leading man’s failure to reach a high C ranks just below his influence with the local council to grant planning permission for a bigger theatre.

The one that comes to mind particularly at this time of year is the supposedly non-selective transition from primary to secondary school which leaves less-able children and the children of the less well-informed at a serious, and often permanent, disadvantage. Without an effective ceasefire the UN could do little for the people of Gorazde unless it attempted an air drop of supplies, he said.At least 20 people were killed over the weekend in Sarajevo, which has been under siege for three months from Serbian gunners in the hills around the city.
We certainly don’t want the old-style Labour wish list covering, as you put it, “everything from stray cats to world disarmament”. All the signs are that the electorate are not looking for detailed policies unless they are properly worked out and costed Some of those are being developed or introduced this week Others will follow. Since the triumph of replacing Clause IV and the development of policy after that, a programme has begun slowly to take shape (see Times cutting, attached, top). Should JP(2) prepare a paper on this?The projectI am significantly less worried than I was about what I called in May “the lack of a political project that matches the Thatcher agenda of 1979, nor one that will be able to sustain Labour in government and transform Britain”. As you well know, our focus groups of disaffected Tory voters aren’t keen on an uncritical line towards the EU; we must avoid ending up outflanked and looking more pro-European than the Europeans themselves.
Second, Europe: the current disarray over EMU could ease voter- alienating Tory division, particularly since the Euro-rebels were warmly disposed towards Rifkind’s “British interests” speech at Chatham House. The new government has shaken off a lot of its sleazy image – at least for the time being.Two other key points: first, GB has once again, in his speech yesterday, brilliantly put the Government on the spot over the windfall tax But they could still shoot our fox on this. Of course, it would mean at least 24 hours of huge embarrassment for Clarke after his Budget speech in November; but it would also give them another pounds 3bn for potential tax cuts. This is going to be increasingly important from the late autumn. The only question in town that matters isgoing to be “can Labour be stopped?” And we can expect to see the Daily Mail and maybe the Sun joining the Daily Express in trying to make the answer yes This is obviously AC territory. But the government reshuffle has been at least partly successful.
On the one hand our private polling shows quite a settled view on the part of the electorate that Heseltine is there because of a deal to save Major’s skin, whichworks against Major’s public image. But Heseltine is certainly an effective presenter (who yesterday appointed his own personal press spokesman) and as Major’s main front man, along with Clarke, is capable of drawing blood from us. And don’t forget the Tories were helped by two giveaway budgets of just the sort that Clarke may try and pull. Nothing could more underline the importance of the campaign itself and the current work being undertaken by JP(1) and PM on target seats.How the Tories could recoverJuly wasn’t, of course, a Tory relaunch. Yet in the month before the election our lead narrowed to only three points and on polling day Labour’s share of the vote was less than 1 per cent over that of the Tories. We are 19 months away from the last moment that John Major can call the election.
At the same point in 1963 Gallup had Labour at 50 points, and in the summer of that year its lead over the Tories went up to 20 points – amazing for that era (graph attached).The government had been engulfed in sleaze; the prime minister was widely regarded as ineffective, and Labour had a hugely popular leader in Harold Wilson (personal approval rating after the 1963 party conference of 67 per cent compared with the newly chosen Sir Alec Douglas Home’s 42). While it is true that no government has had ratings so low for so long as the present one, it might help to stress Labour’s extraordinary experience in the run-up to the 1964 election.
