Veteran ad exec. Jerry Della Femina: AMC drama doesn’t exaggerate ’60s mores.

I don’t think anyone should hope that he helps the starting rotation. Imagine a deep strike offense to go with all those great defenses and running backs.If Penn State, and Pitt save Marino, has lacked one thing over thedecades, it’s consistent superior quarterbacking.As a position that’s priceless and with all the gold laying around their home states, one would think Penn State and Pitt would have made more big strikes instead of striking out so often.But it was hard to compete with the Golden Dome, especially during its glory days of yore.And it was hard to beat the Bear, on the field or in recruiting.But if one would like to hear old Joe snap and growl one more time, ask the old boy how come Bear Bryant coached more NFL Hall of FamePennsylvania quarterbacks then he did.Or perhaps not. I would say that Baltimore, Boston, and San Francisco are two exceptions to the rule, with others being capable of replacing low-end starters, but having no hope of replacing top end starters.That aside, I find this report to be conflicting with what another writer stated (one whom I ripped up) that the Jays had raised a white flag on the season prior to Spring Training.

He gave way to reliever Jeff Walters, who pitched the last two innings giving up only two hits while striking out two.The Georgia offense was never able to get anything going against Eibner, who one-hit the Dawgs in a complete-game shutout. Ever since the Lions’ new coach declared the necessity of having a face for this franchise at the quarterback position, there’s been no doubt in my mind that the pick will be a quarterback.Many have argued that Detroit has so many holes that they should choose the best talent in the draft, and that that player would not be Stafford, but the fact of the matter is a team must have a guy they can rely on at quarterback for the team to be successful.It’s the most important position on a football team and should be valued that way.

The score went to 4-1 and the slide from that point was inevitable. “When that game was over the Americans breathed a sigh of relief, and we had an uphill battle,” Adams said. The match lasted three minutes shy of two hours,The prospect of a tennis gold medal is not yet beyond the British team. Unfortunately for Nick Adams and Richard Holden it was silver and not gold, as the pair lost 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the final of the men’s doubles tennis competition to the highly regarded No 4 seeds from the United States, David Caldwell and Paul Goldstein.
In the end, the duo from the United States proved too strong after the two Britons had gone a set and a break up, thanks to some excellent serving from Holden and a number of high-class service returns from Adams.The improvement in Goldstein’s serve as the match progressed was a crucial factor. So Factual (4-1 from 3-1), Owington (10-1 from 8-1) and Mind Games (16-1 from 12-1) are all on the drift.. Student Games

Great Britain yesterday won their best medal so far at the World here.

Alamein failed to sign her off in style, however, and could finish only fourth.”I wish I could have gone out on a winning note,” Mrs Piggott said. “It’s difficult to think of a highlight in my training career as any winner, from a seller to a big race, comes the same.” Mrs Piggott, whose best season was in 1989 when she sent out 34 winners, will remain in racing as assistant trainer to Willie Haggas, her son-in-law.Lake Coniston, already the 4-7 favourite yesterday morning for the Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday, shortened still further during the day to close at 4-9.The steady easing of the ground at the Lancashire track which prompted the cut sent most of his rivals in the other direction, though Cherokee Rose, the French challenger, is now 5-1 from 8-1. Alhaarth is expected to run at Doncaster, but while his campaign to date has been fairly straightforward, the arrival of rain may ensure that his career will be ever more demanding.There was a minor addition to the two-year-old form book at Ripon yesterday, when Dark Deed, third to the highly-regarded Bosra Sham on her debut, could finish only second to Dashing Blue in a maiden event.More significantly, the race also included the last runner to be saddled by Susan Piggott, after an eight-year training career which began unexpectedly when her husband, Lester, was jailed in 1987. Blue Duster’s form has also stood up very well and she’d certainly be up to the standard for fillies.

Some have probably been inhibited by the ground, but there’s plenty of good races to come and time for them to come out.”Gibbs has already noted “an awful lot of horses which are potentially top-class and could be anything”, at least some of which should feed into the cycle of valuable autumn juvenile events.It begins at Doncaster next week with the Champagne Stakes, closely followed by the Middle Park, Dewhurst and the Post Trophy. Royal Applause, trained by Barry Hills, Tagula (Ian Balding) and the filly Blue Duster (David Loder) have also made their mark, and in the eyes of Geoffrey Gibbs, the Jockey Club’s senior handicapper, the late arrivals may struggle to catch up.”I’m certainly not despondent about those which have run,” Gibbs said yesterday. “Alhaarth and Tagula both put up very good performances and would both be rated at 120 or upwards, which at this time of year is as much as I’d be looking for. And if they are wrong, of course, there will be another morning glory along in a week or so, and Red Robbo will return to obscurity just as swiftly as he left it.The current benchmark for emerging two-year-olds is Dick Hern’s Alhaarth, an impressive winner both at Glorious Goodwood and in Sandown’s Solario Stakes, and currently the 8-1 favourite for next year’s Derby. Dozens of expensive, blue-blooded juveniles, kept idle for months by the firm ground, can now be unleashed, and the ante-post lists for next year’s Classics will be rewritten time and again in the weeks to come.
Red Robbo, a runner at York this afternoon, will be one of the first of the autumn talking horses to see a track, and if the spies who watch Henry Cecil’s string at exercise in Newmarket are right, he will win in a canter before graduating to Group class. Racing

Rain stopped play at cricket grounds all over the country yesterday, but for Britain’s leading trainers, it meant that one of the season’s most exciting phases was about to begin. They enthrall us because they invite us to wonder whether we could live simply, as monks and savages must..

We wonder whether we have gained much in all our getting and spending, when making-do is more attractive, and perhaps – one day – even necessary.Coral Island and Robinson Crusoe don’t capture the imagination because they are happy fantasies. We sort of proved that we could manage if the chips were down.The more civilised we become, the more we are intrigued to show that we could manage with our bare hands and brains. We entered two teams of four this month, and built a pretty competent raft in short order. It is the perfect example of the “something for nothing” excitement which takes people to jumble sales and scrap-yards.We love the inventiveness of a Crusoe or a Ralph, especially in raft- making.

Now, when kids don’t have much chance to mess about in woods, bomb-sites, derelict factories (as post-war-boom babies could), it’s lucky that grown-ups organise raft-building contests, as the sailing club at Solva (near St David’s in Wales) does every summer. He plundered whole ships, and reminds one of the ecstasy of thievery which makes coastal-wreckers in Cornwall into folk heroes. Our pleasure in wrecking, like a crowd’s delight in looting, is that it represents a sudden, half-legitimised, carnival- style redistribution of wealth. These are not great treasures, but I prefer finding them to twiddling a paper umbrella in a funny-coloured drink, in a bar named Castaways, in a coral-fringed resort.Of course, Crusoe pursued a rather high-class form of beachcombing.

Philip Morris spends dollars 2bn a year on media advertising – including promotion of its associated food, beer and tobacco products. But of late West have been a bundle of nerves and their progress has been more of an upward crawl on all fours. Ramsay Street celebrated its 2,000th international appearance with a party for maverick matriarch Helen Daniels (as the only character still surviving from the original cast, she had earned it). Rival titles would need advertisements on ITV to reach similar sales.IPC Magazines has estimated that the value to BBC Enterprises of the airtime may be as much as pounds 20m annually and that competition is choked – the failure of Gruner and Jahr’s Let’s Cook was blamed on the success of the BBC Good Food Guide.Tony Elliott, publisher of Time Out, which now carries television listings, said: ‘That promotion they have is priceless because there is no other advertising on the BBC and viewers subconsciously think such titles are part and parcel of the BBC.

Firstly, it comes from an opera rather than a ballet company; and secondly, Bourne has never choreographed seriously for pointe shoes and tutus in his life.Opera North was not, however, looking for a standard tinselly production.When The Nutcracker was first performed it was part of a double bill with Tchaikovsky’s one-act opera Iolanthe, and though the composer expressed a strong preference for the two works remaining companion pieces, they’ve hardly shared a stage since. That day at Bristol I felt like a push-bike without pedals going up a hill, getting nowhere.

Far from slashing fares to the bone and forcing Eurotunnel into a suicidal price war, Sealink’s new-look fare structure produces a 3 per cent across- the-board increase.

Figures released by Tom Sackville, the health minister, show 60 abortions were carried out after gestations of 25 weeks last year against 21 to 24 in the previous four years.

If recent dry years are indicative of things to come, the NRA had better get off its backside and devise means of shifting water from the north and west, where most falls and least is used, to the South-east, where least falls and consumption is highest. In Lambeth, 41.6 per cent of children have single parents, as do more than a third in Southwark, Islington, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hackney, and Lewisham.
Although the figures build on a long-term trend, they will worry politicians, and that concern will be aggravated by data showing that parts of the capital are vying with Britain’s worst unemployment blackspots.The figures, obtained exclusively by the Independent, show Hackney had more people out of work or on government schemes – a quarter of the economically active population – than Knowsley on Merseyside.Frank Dobson, Labour’s employment spokesman and an inner London MP, said last night: ‘Unless something is done quickly and effectively, many parts of inner London could become breeding grounds for social forces that could undermine British society as a whole.’A third of the children in inner London come from families where there is no wage-earner, and in two-thirds of single-parent families there is no wage-earner. THE influence, even power, that the Catholic Church has wielded in Italy for the past half-century through the dominant Christian Democrat party is vanishing as the old political system disintegrates. Many others are hairdressers and make-up artists.Few Polynesian transvestites undergo sex- change operations, Mr Mataele said He knew of only three Tongans who had done so. In 1912, the Tory leader Andrew Bonar Law told a Unionist gathering that he could imagine ‘no length of resistance to which Ulster can go in which I should not be prepared to support them’.

New overpasses and the relaxation of customs and immigration checks following the European Union have made delays a thing of the past and you can travel from ferry to motorway in just a few minutes.
But while Dover has improved out of all recognition, Calais has deteriorated. Our sense of outrage and feeling of deep sympathy for the bereaved Palestinian families was promptly expressed by the President of the State, Prime Minister Rabin, the Chief Rabbi of Israel and many other national and religious leaders.

They will have the effect of changing forever the power relationship between parents and head teachers. But parents will be frustrated if we only provide them with half-choices.The writer is leader of Wandsworth Council.. How easy do we want to make it for new providers to emerge? How protective will we be of existing institutions?Vouchers on their own will not be enough to bring about the real explosion in choice that we are seeking. We must extend the voucher entitlement throughout the school system; and, crucially, we must examine the obstacles that still stand in the way of opening new schools. Equally important will be the fresh spotlight thrown on the 130 or so independent providers already active in the borough.

It will be a vital test of the publicity programme announced yesterday for parents to have access to information about every possible establishment providing nursery education in their area.The voucher, in common with almost every other Conservative education reform, will eventually win the backing of all parties. Once politicians see how popular is this transfer of power to the parent, they will need no encouragement to join the bandwagon. Owning a voucher will be just as natural as owning shares in BT.The next few months will show just how streamlined we can make the process of issuing and redeeming vouchers. But the real test is the test of nerve that is still to come For if we stop here we will have achieved very little. We will be able to ensure that our own schools are fully geared up for the challenge.We have our marketing strategy in place. One of the reasons my council has been keen to be among the pioneers is to have first- hand experience of how it will work in practice. Well, what teacher hasn’t said the same about every new procedure? The same was said about testing, yet every poll shows that this is what parents want.

Meanwhile, the LEA chairmen, it seems, are afraid parents might not choose their schools.Well, that is what choice is about Trusting parents is a risky business They might not act the way we all want them to. That’s what the people who run education in our local authorities now fear.But if LEA schools are offering a high-quality service that is well regarded in the community, they will have little to fear. Indeed, the most successful schools always find the threat of competition invigorating.The scheme is unnecessarily bureaucratic, some cry. Schools set up specifically to meet the needs of a particular sector of the market.The current opposition to the first phase of the nursery education voucher scheme is predictable.

For the Labour Party, it is scarcely surprising that they should be so fearful of putting power in the hands of parents when even the modest Assisted Places Scheme attracts their venom. It would benefit all parents – not just those who can afford to pay now, but those for whom there is no real choice under the present arrangements.The voucher as a symbol of parental choice will be immensely powerful. For many parents, it will be the first time they have been given any degree of control over their children’s schooling.We don’t need to create a new wave of Etons and Harrows. Parents’ new buying power will, if unfettered by excessive controls, unleash new types of school that we have never previously seen in this country. They are now ready to take the next obvious step and receive their funding direct from the customer.The transfer of funds from the state to the parent would be irreversible. Schools are already funded according to precise calculations of pupil numbers.

Stars’ fashion mishaps.

But then, when the legacy concerns the life of Mahatma Gandhi it’s perhaps not so very surprising. As a new exhibition at the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery reveals, the photographs taken by Kanu Gandhi, kinsman and disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, were a labour of love; it was never the intention of the photographer to be artistically appreciated or financially rewarded.
And these beautifully composed, naturally-lit black-and-white photographs, which offer an extraordinary insider’s view of Gandhi’s life and work, are all the more compelling when you consider that we would not be seeing them but for a chance meeting.Saleem Arif, a London-based artist, was on an Arts Council-sponsored trip to his native India when he was invited to visit the town of Rajkot where he was introduced to Abhaben Gandhi in what he describes as “a moment of grace”. A conversation about photography led her to show him her late husband’s photographs. Amazed by what he saw, Arif learned that Kanu and Abhaben Gandhi had met when they were both “given” by their parents to the Gandhi household as “sacrifices to the cause” Abhaben was 13, Kanu was 17. They married, with Gandhi’s blessing, when Abhaben was 18.Kanu Gandhi began to photograph his mentor when he was given a Leica camera – on the strict condition that he use only natural light. According to Abhaben, her husband was aware that he was recording a monumental piece of history but was never interested in personal recognition. The day that Gandhi was assassinated (he died in Abhaben’s arms), was the day that Kanu stopped taking photographs.Although some of the images are well-known in India, until now only a small exhibition in Delhi has shown the work under the artist’s name.

This is the first time the work has been seen outside the country.In a state of deterioration due to impossible conditions (heat, insects and dust), Saleem Arif has now overseen the restoration of around 100 of the prints and negatives. And while Abhaben was only too pleasd for her husband’s work to receive aesthetic appreciation, she donated her entire loan fee to charity, preferring to continue living a simple yet dignified life. (Kanu died in 1986 and she died a couple of months ago.)The photographs themselves are a revelation – the range of camera angles, feel for composition and the eye for detail is faultless. In what amounts to a compassionate and intimate visual diary, Kanu has captured Gandhi’s actions and philosophy both in moments of solitude and interacting with famous politicians, attending prayer meetings, talking with lepers and addressing vast crowds.An image where he is seen spinning cotton takes on greater significance when you consider an extract from Kanu Gandhi’s memoirs: “In a train from Kalka to Delhi, late at night, Bapu [Mahatma's affectionate name] asked for his spinning wheel I protested He was exhausted, the train was shaky ‘This is my ritual.

It is to be carried out, however adverse the situation,’ he replied. ‘I see the prosperity of our country in each thread spun out of this wheel.’”Most disturbing, however, are the fasting photographs. And seeing this tired, old man lying inert in bed, it’s impossible not to be deeply moved. Not from pity, but from admiration at such unflinching self-sacrifice. Which is, surely, all that Kanu Gandhi, photographer, would have wished for.’Kanu Gandhi’s Mahatma: 1938-1946′, Leicestershire Museum and Art Gallery (0116 247 3001) 29 Jul to 1 Oct. Self-taught pianist Weldon Irvine has been a prominent jazz artist since 1964, responsible for honing the finest talent in New York.

Vanity Fair spotlights battles Ryan O’Neal waged before Fawcett’s death.

He’s a real charmer, all right.”When he arrived in England on Christmas Eve, the war in Kosovo had not yet begun, so Elton, who at that stage spoke scarcely a word of English, was not regarded as a bona fide refugee. He should have been classified as an economic migrant and sent smartly home But in Yorkshire they admire pluck above all other things. To them, this skinny lad who had travelled through five countries and covered over 1,000 miles, using only his courage and wits to survive, deserved his place in the sun. And many rules were bent by a friendly police force and a group of social workers who took him under their wing.Months later, when the full horror of the war began to unfold, and tens of thousands of ethnic Albanians started streaming across the borders into Macedonia and Albania, his status was quietly changed to asylum-seeker. And no one doubts that, for as long as he wants to, he will be able to stay in Britain Today he goes to college and his English is superb. He shares an old terraced house with several other Kosovo refugees.”People were always wonderful to me,” he said “Policemen, social workers, council officials Everybody.

I cannot tell you how grateful I feel to this country and its people. But when I told them of my plans to be a boxer they just laughed I guess they thought I was crazy. But one guy did take me seriously and brought me a book about the career of Prince Naseem Hamed They said he was a Yorkshire lad who had made good He didn’t look Yorkshire to me. But I was fascinated by his style of boxing and his great self-confidence.”Then I noticed the name of the place where he had been taught to fight as a child, a boys’ club in Sheffield.

I decided that if it was good enough for Prince Naseem then it was good enough for me. I took a bus to Sheffield and just knocked on the door.”I expected them to tell me to clear off, but they just opened the door and told me to come in. I looked around and saw all those kids banging away at punchbags, skipping to the music and sparring in the ring It felt as if I had arrived at the place where I belonged. It felt like coming home.”Brendan Ingle remembers that moment, too There was never any question of turning him away Ingle never turns anybody away. For more than 30 years the Dublin-born former professional boxer has been taking in the waifs and strays of Sheffield. He doesn’t care if they are potential champions or born losers.

He doesn’t mind if they are mentally disabled, crippled, orphaned or simply young hooligans sent by the probation services. He believes that he can do something with any kid – and that, as the Jesuits used to put it, if he gets a boy before the age of seven, “He’s mine for ever.”He is always searching for his own version of perfection. (“I’m always on the lookout for my own Muhammed Ali, who will make me millions and set me up for life.”) But he doesn’t really care if his kids are hopeless fighters “I take them all,” he said. “If they come in here and do what they’re told, they can stay.

The fear is that the expected resurgence could be kicked into reverse.’This view was echoed by a number of manufacturers concerned at the effect of increases in any form of taxation which might be announced by the Chancellor next month.Phil Horton, communications director at Renault UK, which has its headquarters in west London, says: ‘There was a burst of sales activity during August, but September proved tough in the area. It is society which shapes the way they are applied; social pressure has brought the Italian mother to think it better to bear a white rather than a mixed-race child.Mrs Goldhill remarked: ‘To say that a child is going to be more loved because it is a boy or a girl, black or white, is something we are not happy with. The result was a great resurgence of interest in inorganic chemistry and the emergence of a school of international renown.Addison’s own group concentrated on the perhaps initially surprising choice of the extremely reactive liquid compound dinitrogen tetroxide as a solvent medium for chemical reactions. There are cases where the present post code system may lump rough areas and superior properties together in one area.’General Accident uses the full post code. I suppose the English live their lives behind net curtains, in Europe they are always out in bars and cafes, they like to be seen.’After spending pounds 251 in Jigsaw, on a jacket, trousers and a shirt, Sara moved on to the Calvin Klein department in Selfridges where she parted with pounds 230 for a CK gilet ‘pounds 500, that’s about my limit today’. But instead the chief coach of the day, David Tanner, took the risk of removing Matthew Pinsent, then only 19, from the coxless four, and a new world-class partnership was born. His late work, though, is remarkable for its formal simplicity – his off-centre view of the world doesn’t need to announce itself with vainglorious directorial flourishes; it is not a fashion-statement but a state of mind.It is probably mean to measure Masala, a first film from the Indian-Canadian director Srinivas Krishna, against one of the masters of world cinema, but Krishna is trying for an anarchic, outrageous mood that invites the comparison.

It would have to raise at least an additional dollars 7bn, and possibly more if the bid were hostile.The City, which worked through this calculation at the beginning of the year, disliked the conclusion it reached – that Glaxo would either have to ask the market for a giant pounds 4bn rights issue or face very heavy borrowings.

Wigan’s demoralisation showed in a soft try from dummy half by Robert Johnson.Jonathan Hughes, a substitute, and the winger, Dean Johnsen, scored the tries that brought up the collector’s item in any grade of rugby, a half-century against Wigan.WIGAN ACADEMY: Craig; Radlinski, Hope, Stevens, Wright (Roberts, 18); Hatton, Long; Griffiths, Cantillon, Smith, Knowles (Hilton, 53), Haughton, Wilson.JUNIOR KIWIS: Paul (Te Atatu); Johnsen (Hokitika), Vaikona (Lincoln), MacDonald (Hornby), P Lima (Otahuhu); Noovao (Otahuhu), Swann (Marist); Weepu (Wainuiomata), Johnson (Takahiwai), Fatialofa (Marist), Vagana (Richmond), Kelemete (Poriua), Henare (Otahuhu). ‘I began to feel that my luck was so bad,’ she said once, ‘that I became ashamed of it, and wouldn’t tell anyone about the things that had happened.’ Instead, she worked incredibly hard to overcome luck’s effects; and her pain helped her to enter into any pain.In her column for the Guardian she explored the tragedies of other women, or the simple, ordinary miseries of all women marooned at home with small children, demanding men, and the general dreadfulness of domesticity.

Last January he was fined pounds 800 and disqualified from driving for three weeks after admitting speeding at 71mph in a 30mph zone.

Large lean beasts, such as the Charolais, Limousin and Simmental, were effectively meat machines: boosted with feed concentrates they offered faster food-conversion rates and more profit to the food industry.But this did not halt the steady slide in beef sales, further aggravated by fears over ‘Mad Cow Disease’, BSE. But the parallel with Calvin feels forced, seeming the result of a bit of opportunistic plotting rather than the natural outcome of an idealist’s neglect of family through preoccupation with his beliefs.
