He also believes China might bomb airfields, immobilising Taiwan’s jets.Mr Chiang thinks China could “terrify the Taiwanese people” without using missiles. Continued military tests, the seizure of fishing vessels and other less extreme measures would divide Taiwanese society.There is also a possibility that many of Taiwan’s leaders would leave if the going got tough. Wang Chien-shien, of the New Party, which believes President Lee is provoking China unnecessarily, says Peking could inflict heavy blows without full- scale war. Although Taiwan’s army has acquired some modern equipment, such as F-16 fighter jets from the US, and Mirage 2000 jets from France, years of diplomatic isolation have taken their toll on its ability to acquire state-of-the-art equipment.This is not to say Taiwan is incapable of resistance, but it may have difficulty coping with military action which falls well short of war. Unlike Taiwan’s forces, the Chinese army has a number of leaders who have been tested in battle.
China has “sufficient military capability to bring Taiwan to its knees if it wishes to do so”, says a foreign resident with close ties to the military establishment.He believes Taiwan’s army has reasonably high combat efficiency, “but it has not been tested for a long time”. How can they be seen as non-provocative but demonstrate that they are capable of providing defence?”And what would happen if the military escalation got out of hand? China has the world’s biggest army, and it is increasingly equipped with modern armaments. Last month it made yet another futile attempt to rejoin the United Nations. President Lee, meanwhile, is riding high on the support he is gaining as the Chinese media launches personal attacks on him.”The question here,” says a Western observer in Taipei, “is how Taiwan’s military response is conducted. Here was the symbolic importance of our leader visiting a major Western country,” he said. “It changed the emptiness and frustration of the Taiwanese people.”China saw even more sinister motives behind the visit, according to Chu Yun-han, the director of programmes at the influential Institute for National Policy Research.He believes that Peking looked at the visit as part of a plot between Japan and the US to undermine China by promoting Taiwan.Taiwan refuses to back down.
People wondered what else China might do, if it responded so aggressively to what was no more than a private visit to the US.As Mr Yang points out, it was more than just a visit “It very much emotionally affected the people. Andrew Yang, secretary of the Council of Advanced Policy Studies, a government advisory body, said: “We don’t under-estimate their ability to do it.”When the first Chinese military exercise was launched, the stock market dropped like a stone and visa queues formed outside Western quasi-diplomatic offices.”It was a shock,” said Antonio Chiang, publisher of Journalist political weekly. However, China feels President Lee is intent on the ultimate heresy of making Taiwan an independent state, abandoning the Nationalists’ and Communists’ longstanding commitment to Chinese reunification.”I really think it’s possible China will invade,” says Tsai Bih-hwang, of the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist) party. China responded by bombarding Taiwan’s smaller islands near the Chinese coast. Taiwan maintained a steady hail of return fire.That confrontation eventually faded, and talks between the two governments gave rise to hopes of a peaceful solution.

The story so far: Rupert Murdoch has bought the entire British rugby league set-up to turn the game into a television-only spectacle. Mike Haslet, captain of newly formed team Battlecliff, privately hates the takeover but publicly supports Murdoch’s regime. After leading his team to victory in the League Cup Final, he faces some tough questioning at the post-match press conference.
“Mike, Mike!” shouted a man from the broadsheets. “What was it like, playing at Wembley today?”"Great,” said Mike Haslet. “It’s always been my dream to play at Wembley.”"I didn’t mean that,” shouted the man.
“I meant, what’s it like playing at Wembley without a single spectator? Now that Murdoch has turned rugby league into a TV spectacle with no crowd to get in the way, what’s it like playing without crowd reaction? Without the cheering and booing?”"I’ll tell you,” said Mike. “It means it’s the first time in the history of the game that you can hear your own players speaking. Nobody had any idea until now what the captain was trying to tell them Now they can. No wonder we’re playing better.”There was laughter at this.”Put it another way,” said a man from a posh Sunday. “What’s it like playing for Rupert Murdoch, then?”Mike kept the smile going.”There has been no editorial control of the game at all,” said Mike. “On no occasion has Mr Murdoch rung me up during a game and suggested I kick for touch rather than go for the line.”There was more laughter at this.
Mike was obviously better at handling questions than he had realised.”What do you feel about the rugby league matches all being beamed directly to Malaysia?” asked someone else.What he meant was, “and being gambled on by half of Asia”. But Mike preferred not to take it that way.”Sport is becoming increasingly international,” he said. “We don’t think it’s odd to sit in England and watch the Super Bowl from America, or to have the Tour de France every day on Channel 4. So what’s odd about beaming league rugby to Malaysia?”"Have you ever spoken to Rupert Murdoch?” asked someone else.”Not wittingly,” said Mike, “but all Australians sound alike on the phone to me.”It was agreed that Mike had fielded the press conference amazingly well, which is probably why he did get a phone call from Rupert Murdoch a few days later, congratulating him, and offering him the job of his roving ambassador in charge of rugby league public relations.”Think I should take it?” he asked his club chairman, Bill Gradeley.”I don’t think you ought to, but I think you will,” said Bill.”How do you reckon that?”"You said you would never pull on a shirt to play rugby league for Murdoch, and you did You have no intention of taking this job, but you will.

For the sake of argument, let’s pretend that among all the academics, civil servants, economists, voluntary agencies and the myriad others who have devoted their lives to this arcane subject, not one was deemed suitable. Alas, he is not available for interview, perhaps for fear that impertinent journalists might ask his opinion on the difficult interface between council rents and housing benefits.Let us assume there was no one else with any greater experience of the social security system to take on this job. He has no experience or track record in the field of social security benefits, or at least none he lists in Who’s Who.Maybe the workings of the social security system 1945-95 is an unlisted hobby or perhaps a subject he has been mugging up for Mastermind. How was a man whose talent was for understanding the claim form for family credit fit to lead men into battle?This is what did happen: in the deathly quietness of the bank holiday weekend, with virtually every politician comatose on some foreign beach, Peter Lilley, Social Security Secretary, slipped out a brief notice announcing that Lieutenant-General the Hon Sir Thomas Boyd-Carpenter had been appointed as chairman of the Government’s Social Security Advisory Committee. We could send him to serve a spell in Oman, Malaya or Borneo and he could write a book called Conventional Deterrence: into the Nineties.
Imagine the expression on the faces of his fellow officers as he walks into the mess on his first day, clad in his brand-new uniform and swagger stick, ready to take command. A military press officer, eager to excuse the patent improbability of this appointment, wrings his hands awkwardly and murmurs to those assembled that although the new chap may not know much about soldiering, “he is committed to acquiring quickly the required expertise”.
Shouldn’t take long, really, easy-peasy, pick it up in next to no time.This, of course, did not happen. If it had, the thin news weekend would have bristled into life as battalions of outraged Blimps proclaimed that this was the end of the great British professional army.

But please spare us the categorisation of this policy as one of “realism”: the words “wicked callousness” would be a far better description.Yours faithfully,Stuart WoodBeckenham,Kent27 August. Without any armed UN presence, the Bosnian Serbs would presumably find the task of “re-allocating” this territory even more straightforward than they did at Srebenica, little more than a month ago.Those who can lose no sleep over such politically expedient decisions as removing armed peacekeepers to allow “re-allocation” of territory (the civilians do not even earn a perfunctory mention) from the Bosnian government to Bosnian Serb control are, of course, entitled to their views In fact, they are welcome to them. For the most “ardent supporters” of the Bosnian government, the UN withdrawal from Gorazde representsfurther damning evidence of Western governments selling out the long- suffering Muslim population of Bosnia,writes Tony Barber.Readers are then informed that the “realist” view supports the withdrawal, as this opens the way to Gorazde’s “re-allocation” to the Bosnian Serbs, which could facilitate a peace.

The speed at which news is reported, consumed and then forgotten made it almost inevitable that the horrific story of Srebenica should drop from the headlines barely one day after it dominated our television screens and front pagesnow appear ironically apt.The Independent’s very own European commentary on Saturday (“Restraint is the order of the day”, 26 August) appears oblivious to the lessons of Srebenica. From Mr Stuart Wood

Charismatics stress the need for salvation of individuals and society as a whole. As a someone who has been involved in Charismatic matters for years, I am unrepentently Anglican and boringly orthodox.The Church needs to understand the notion and impact of power in all relationships, especially within the Church. They are people who believe in the power of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit.They are what you would call quiet Charismatics.

When did the dream begin? Perhaps when the film awards came to town, during Glasgow’s celebration as European City of Culture 1990. Maybe it was earlier, after seeing its necropolis perched on the skyline in the opening shot of Bertrand Tavernier’s Deathwatch. Nobody knows, and maybe nobody cares – for Glasgow’s vision of itself as a movie- making centre is now a reality
This year, four feature films will be made in the city. Out of the 33 films made north of the border since 1990, eight have been shot in Glasgow.
When you look at the well-preserved Victorian houses of the West End, combined with the commercial centre’s more contemporary buildings – or even the decaying cranes of the docklands – you understand why the city appeals to film-makers.
Glasgow, or parts of it, has been used as a stand-in for many cities, from Moscow in Gorky Park and An Englishman Abroad to the Vatican in Heavenly Pursuits, where the interior of the city’s elegant city chambers was used.The director David Hayman, of Silent Scream fame, considers it “the most cinematic city in the world” His new thriller, The Near Room, is set entirely in Glasgow. “It’s so rich – you can find architectural references to New York, Paris, Moscow, London.” No wonder Scott Rudin, who produced The Firm, is investigating the possibility of using the city to represent period New York.”The people are brilliant, too,” says Shallow Grave’s producer, Andrew McDonald “In Glasgow, the local authorities help you. They want you to make films.” He contrasts this with London, where, Mr McDonald says, co-operation from local authorities is virtually non-existent. “Today’s old people come from a generation that has been taught not to wash their dirty laundry in public,” says Roger Hitchings of Age Concern in Birmingham.An average of four elderly people a month come in to the Birmingham office complaining of physical or sexual abuse Another eight a month talk of financial exploitation. It does not necessarily make it any easier to prosecute people who are suspected of financially or sexually abusing an elderly person,” says Bridget Penhale, vice-chairwoman of Action on Elder Abuse.Nor does the Bill acknowledge how hard it is for old people to admit to themselves that they are being abused, let alone to an outsider from an official-looking organisation. Local authorities would be obliged to protect old people ear-marked “vulnerable” (not able to protect themselves from harm or exploitation). If they are seen to be in immediate danger, a temporary protection order may be obtained from a court, and the person put in a “safe-house” – that is, a hospital, nursing home or residential home.Pressure groups and health workers are glad to see that the Government is taking the maltreatment of elderly people seriously, but feel that the proposed Bill is limited in scope “The draft legislation does not provide permanent solutions.
As on Broadway, Elia Kazan directed him in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), recapturing the animal magnetism of the uncouth, slobbish Stanley Kowalski, and again in Viva Zapata! (1952), in which Brando gave an eloquent account of the Mexican peasant leader.Remembering On the Waterfront in his 1988 memoir, Kazan wrote, “If there is a better performance by a man in the history of film in America, I don’t know what it is.”The decline was gentle at first, as Brando took on a series of contrasting roles: Bonaparte in Desire (1954), a singing Damon Runyon gambler in Mankiewicz’s Guys and Dolls (1955), a Nippon translator in The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956), and the masochistic cowboy in One Eyed Jacks, which he directed himself after quarrelling with Stanley Kubrick.He said in his own autobiography, “I am more surprised at how I turned out than I am about anything else I don’t ever remember trying to be successful. We went to the fair with her mum one night and she let us go on this ride called the Waltzer where you spin round and round and there was a man who kept on pushing you faster and faster That was great Then we went on the Dodgem But Sam was the driver and she wasn’t really much good. The only Muslims they document are the mad fanatics who are worlds away from the piety of most traditional believers.Those who mock you for buying a house in Las Vegas and shopping at the mall in Caesar’s Palace do not believe in your repentance. Courts have to rely on legislation, some of which dates back to 1861, to take action if an elderly personis being mistreated.This may change if recommendations from a recent Law Commission report on mental incapacity are adopted. White lilies and blue irises are hits, too.”The trend for all things natural appeals to men, says floristry lecturer Chris Jones “Men appreciate the new natural products and packaging. We use a lot of brown paper, raffia, and seagrass goes down well.”M Widdup and Sons, a company that supplies packaging to florists, has gone as far as adding a “Tuxedo” box for men to their range of gift presentation boxes.

The Red Wings throughout the season have been a deadly opponent when they score first and tonight it showed. Dallas would tie the game on a power play goal by Stephane Robidas at 10:41. The Red Wings would take the lead on a Henrik Zetterberg power play goal at 15:13. Before the final buzzer of the first period, the Stars Jere Lehtinen would leave the ice with an injury.
News of his injury is sure to come out either late tonight or tomorrow. The second period was purely a physical slugfest. The Red Wings took three straight penalties: Zetterberg – Tripping, Chelios – Holding and Stuart – Tripping. The Stars would then try to match this with three straight sits in the box: Richards – Holding, Marty Turco – Slashing (served by Steve Ott) and Modano – Cross Checking. The Red Wings would then finish the period on two straight: Holmstrom for diving and Chelios for high sticking. The Stars finally get frustrated with themselves, their opponents, and the score in the third period. The Stars would take the 5 penalties in the third with the Wings recording none. Matt Niskanen would go at 8:43 for interference and then all hell would break loose. At 19:42, Brenden Morrow would visit the sin bin for holding followed by a Steve Ott roughing and misconduct at 19:55.
Toby Petersen would serve the two minute roughing in place of Ott. At the final buzzer, Mike Ribeiro would show his dislike for the men in red with a match penalty.

He was patient with the ball and took what the defense gave to the tune of over 300 yards passing.However, Jimmy’s youth reared i’s ugly head in the second half, where he wanted to respond to the Tar Heel’s last minute field goal at the end of the first half.On the very first play from scrimmage, Jimmy tried to force in a throw into triple coverage, rather than throw the ball away and living to play another down.Result: six points going the other way.It’s often those mistakes that come back to haunt you.

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.
