Nigel Williams, Jeanette Winterson and Henry James are all contenders, as is the idea of reading poetry, but the club clearly prefers getting its teeth into a good yarn rather than a sonnet or two.’Poetry] Oh God, no way,’ shrieks Helena ‘Unless it’s Pam Ayres. if any phase of school education is funded at a disproportionately low level, children of all ages will suffer and, in the long run, the nation as a whole suffers.’Any extra money for education should go to primary schools, the report says The Government should. Hysterically overheated erotic thriller, a one-note exercise in ’style’ at the expense of audience interest. These reforms reflect what the people wanted.’The benefits of these reforms, however, have yet to reach most Mexicans.

Spurred by watching Lisa York, her contemporary, performing well at the Barcelona Olympics, Holmes began to train seriously again.Last summer she reached the 800 metres semi-final at the World Championships, missing a place in the final by one position despite the fact that her time, an English record of 1min 58.64sec, was better than that of the first four in the other semi.The weekend before last, at the national championships and trials, her sprint against the European 3,000 metres champion, Yvonne Murray, all down the final straight of the 1500 metres was one of the most eye-catching performances of the meeting It was close. Norfolk police have already spoken with the Lothian and Borders force about her disappearance.Christine Markham, 9, disappeared on her way home from school in Scunthorpe, Humberside, in May 1973. It seems more likely that the West, fearful of expanding the war, is prepared to recognise some Bosnian Serb territorial conquests.

He is the Danish Under- 21 keeper and would cost a six-figure fee if signed from Hvidovre

IT IS one of those places that is off limits. For the next 10 years, Williams cars regularly started F1 races from near the back of the grid, while Frank scrimped and scratched for the money to run his cars. He felt he could do it himself.On my previous shift the night before I’d almost dropped asleep. The timing of Moncrieff’s score was a killer blow, but since Exiles dominated the first half and South the remainder of the match suggestions of a steal are invalid.Doddie Weir, Derek Turnbull and Carl Hogg played as though determined to guarantee international futures; Ian Corcoran continues to put pressure on hooker Kenny Milne; and Gary Armstrong gave Dave Millard an exceedingly rough passage.If the very real controversy existed over the finish it surely lay in the amount of stoppage time added on, but even then account has to be taken of the laborious preparation adopted by Nick Grecian, the Exiles’ goalkicker, perhaps the only player capable of making the methods of New Zealand’s Grant Fox seem frenzied by comparison.The Exiles were simply unable to use better quality possession laid back by a pack in which Damian Cronan, Andy Reed, Dale McIntosh and, perhaps to the discomfort of the Scottish selectors, Alan Sharp, enjoyed rare moments.Sharp may be suitably qualified through a grandmother from Brechin. Lloyds Merchant Bank, acting for Brierley, yesterday unsuccessfully telephoned the home of Honor Gibbs, wife of Peter Gibbs, the chairman.

La Scorta

Ricky Tognazzi’s better than competent thriller about a team of young cops called in to protect a Sicilian judge was a huge box-office hit in Italy, where it struck major chords. The writer Kay Boyle and her husband were under scrutiny by the United States government for ‘un-American activities’. Lebanon’s right-wing Lebanese Forces party, whose Phalangist militiamen allied themselves with Israel in the 1982 invasion and slaughtered hundreds of Palestinian civilians in the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps, was yesterday dissolved after at least four of its ex-fighters were charged with the bombing of a Maronite church in which 11 worshippers were killed, Robert Fisk writes from Beirut. But World in Action was concentrating on those cases in which the prime suspects had exercised their right to remain silent, leaving the police powerless

In 1992 Kim Griffin, a 10-month-old baby, was killed.
