But she has it in her to be an actress (The Godfather films, Looking for Mr Goodbar, Reds), as opposed to the obliging female presence in fluff like Father of the Bride As for Goldie Hawn, the word “phenomenon” has to be used. Goldie stays in shape – consider that she is already the age that Gloria Swanson was when she played Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard She is a very successful producer, a fine comedienne and … sexy! Moreover, in The First Wives Club (where she plays an actress of a certain age, driven to collagen treatments) she has the great epigraphic line for this essay. There are three stages in the life of the Hollywood actress: “Babe, district attorney – and Driving Miss Daisy.”You can bet that Meryl Streep would see the joke in that. Only yesterday, it seems, Streep was widely regarded as the great actress in movies.

From the late 1970s on, starting with The Deer Hunter, she has had 10 Academy Award nominations. Some people have found her chilly, or so assured an actress that you could see the mind working. I think that’s unfair, and a reaction to how rarely she was interested in being “sexy”. Look at The Deer Hunter again, or at Sophie’s Choice, Silkwood, Out of Africa, Ironweed, or A Cry in the Dark and there is no question that Streep towers over most of her contemporaries.But in recent years, the actress who was often very vocal at the unfairness in the way women stars are paid so much less than men, has been struggling.

The Bridges of Madison County made it clear she had lost nothing – she was in every sense a mature woman (though that left Clint Eastwood seeming a little callow) But that was an exceptional role (in an awful movie). In the effort to stay in work, Streep has been driven to some odd decisions and several commercial failures – the very strained comedy of She-Devil and Death Becomes Her, the strenuous adventuring of The River Wild, and the crushed-parent role in Before and After. She also took on that lofty disaster, the adaptation of Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits. She was very good – as was Diane Keaton – in Marvin’s Room, but that was a small film and nearly a character part.As Streep approaches 50, we must all wonder where her roles are coming from The invocation of Driving Miss Daisy is very pointed Its star, Jessica Tandy, was young once. She did several movies in her thirties, and she was the original Blanche DuBois on stage in A Streetcar Named Desire.

Then came decades in which she did very little – apart from her mother in Hitchcock’s The Birds before movies gave her back her licence as a genuine “old lady”. By the time she did Driving Miss Daisy, winning an Oscar, she was 82. Would Streep wait for that, go crazy, or take up the theatre, and knitting?Jessica Lange has been playing Blanche DuBois lately – often a distress signal. Most viewers are startled at how steadily Lange has improved as an actress, and they’re doubly impressed at how often she works without the benefit of make-up – think of her lawyer in The Music Box, the raped wife in Rob Roy, or the role in Blue Sky that won her an Oscar only after the film had been kept on the shelf for three years.

Mr Santer said unemployment would not be solved by taking a “pickaxe to the welfare state” and the countries in the world with the strongest trade balances were “certainly not all those with the lowest labour costs”.His defence of the chapter led to a sharp rejoinder from Sir Bryan Nicholson, CBI President, who said Europe had not offered a persuasive response to the problem of structural unemployment and Britain’s good job-creation record had been helped by flexible wages and keeping social costs low.He said: “British employers are not opposed to good employment practices, quite the contrary, but what they do not want is to have them imposed in a rigid, centralised manner which increases business’ costs whilst reducing their flexibility, and does nothing for the unemployed.”Mr Santer added: “If any European member state government were to attempt to take a pickaxe to welfare – God forbid – wage rates for an engineer or a blue collar worker would still be 15-20 times more than in most parts of the EU than, for example, in Eastern Europe.”But he believed most Europeans wanted a caring society which looked after those in need.”I would go so far as to say that the belief in efficient welfare is a determining characteristic of the humanity, even identity, of Europe,” he said.Mr Santer added that it was time to stop treating the Commission as an opponent when it was on the same side.. Shares in SG Warburg and Mercury Asset Management came under further pressure yesterday, amidst signs of growing shareholder nervousness about costs incurred in the proposed takeover by Swiss Bank Corporation. Warburg closed down 13p at 760, while MAM dropped 16p to 808. Analysts said Warburg’s stock is being dragged down by MAM, whose shares are being deflated by receding bid prospects for the soon-to-be independent fund management business. Dealers yesterday focused on the £100m of fees, expenses and provisions Warburg is paying as part of its takeover. Representing 5 per cent of the total £2bn deal, analysts described the cost as large, suggesting shareholders might have been able to extract more from the takeover

Shares in Eurovein plunged almost 50 per cent after the specialist engineer issued its second profits warning since being launched on the stock market six months ago. Don Stain, group managing director, is leaving as part of a management shake-up and big restructuring, but the company would still make a loss this year and was unlikely to pay a final dividend.
Sir James McKinnon, the chairman and former director general of gas watchdog Ofgas, said he believed re-organisation should return the group to profitability next year.Eurovein was floated last November at 141p a share, but the price fell to 86p in February when the company warned that sales and order had fallen short.Yesterday, the shares fell from 70p to 38p as Sir James revealed continuing problems throughout the group and the prospects of big restructuring costs.Faulty work on a contract for a German customer meant additional costs to put it right, while costs on installing machines in the Far East have risen.Mr Stain is leaving with immediate effect, and Graham Ward, a director in the surface treatment division, has also left. He will be replaced by Stuart Cole, finance director.An operations director from outside the group is being appointed to the UK subsidiary. The surface treatment divisional head office in Rotherham will close and the engineering activity in the German subsidiary will be transfered to the UK, leading to job losses.

An operation will remain in Germany to concentrate on sales, spare parts and service.In the filtration division, which makes gas and liquid filters, one of the product lines has been withdrawn. “This, together with generally disappointing sales levels, will mean a reduction in staff at the French subsidiary,” Sir James said.He added that trading in the components division and in the Italian surface treatment subsidiary was satisfactory. “Margins throughout the group were in line with expectations,” he said.He said further delays in orders would affect total sales for the year, and restructuring charges would lead to a pre-tax loss for 1995. Last month, the company announced first quarter pre-tax profits of £221,000, on turnover of £8.6m.

THE COMPLEX the blue note

The Blue Note’s flagship Saturday night celebrates its second year at this multi-level venue. But because the stiffness of the spring differs from binding to binding, so does the range of adjustment. “And since beginners are likely to have forward or backward twisting falls, they need a binding which releases earlier, and quicker,” said Haaser. “An aggressive skier applies more pressure, so he needs a stiffer release.”I admitted that I was only quite aggressive, and skied more on-piste than off: and Haaser prescribed a pair of Marker M8.1 EPS bindings.I was particularly sold on them (at a price of pounds 109.95) because of the “biometric” pad above the toe: it lowers the pressure required to open the top of the binding by 25 per cent in the event of a backward fall – the kind most likely to damage the knees. What matters to them is whether the colour of the binding matches the ski.”Although bindings influence skiing performance, their characteristic difference lies in the ease with which they release the boot.

All of them have adjustable DIN settings (Haaser, being Austrian, could spell out what DIN stands for: Deutsche Industrie Norm), and fitters use a complex table to choose a setting which reflects the skier’s weight, style of skiing, and boot length. So I made an appointment with Bernie Haaser, equipment manager at the Ellis Brigham shop in Covent Garden, London.I was, so Haaser told me, an exceptional customer: it was extremely rare for anyone to buy new bindings for old skis.” Most skiers,” he said, “are just not bothered about bindings, although it is the only part of their equipment designed to ensure their safety. You only discover how good your insurance is when you have a bad accident: and it’s the same with bindings.
When I last had my skis tuned, towards the end of last season, the workshop pointed out that it was time to get new bindings. In abnormal circumstances they release your boots from your skis.

“Losing to Huddersfield last weekend has mucked up our calculations,” said the Saints coach, Ian Millward. “If I was going to rest a few guys with injuries I can’t do it now, because I don’t want Leeds opening up a four-point buffer.”Unbeaten Leeds will be without Chev Walker, who has damaged a retina, but have David Furner back and give fitness tests to Chris McKenna and Ryan Bailey.Wakefield and Huddersfield go into their game tomorrow encouraged by victories last week. Jamie Bloem makes his comeback for the Giants, while Wakefield hope to have Dallas Hood and Martyn Holland back.London’s desperate injury situation is illustrated by the presence of two wingers signed this week on loan, Austin Buchanan and Karl Long, in their side to face Castleford. The Broncos, surprise winners at Wigan last weekend, have Rob Purdham back for the injured Chris Thorman and give a debut to Jamie Fielden in the front row and the young Londoner, Alex Rowe on the bench.For tomorrow’s match at Bradford, Warrington will still do without their captain, Lee Briers, with a shoulder injury.In the Arriva Trains Cup, Doncaster need to beat Featherstone if they are to progress to the quarter-finals and they will have to do so without the exhortations of their coach, St John Ellis. He has banned himself from the touchline following an altercation with the referee in the recent game against Keighley and will watch proceedings from the stand..

Hull went to the top of Super League, taking advantage of Wigan’s current disarray with a comprehensive, if unspectacular victory at the Kingston Communications Stadium last night. That small exception aside, defences were well on top in the early stages.Hull went further ahead when Paul Johnson went high on Scott Logan and Prescott slotted over his second goal and their territorial domination paid off five minutes before half-time. Wigan were short of numbers when Jason Smith hoisted a high kick and the tall winger, Colin Best, out-jumped Brett Dallas, juggled the ball and eventually touched down. Prescott’s conversion gave Hull a 10-point lead at the end of a dour first half.It got worse for Wigan two minutes into the second half when their former player, Chris Chester, kicked through cleverly and Adam Maher timed his run to get there first and touch down.It took a freakish lapse to get Wigan on the scoreboard, Hull leaving the blind-side unattended after tackling Dallas to allow Hock to stroll over.That was a reminder to Hull that the game was not quite won yet. Three minutes later, it was, Paul Cooke holding up his pass deceptively to send the teenager, Kirk Yeaman, over for the clincher. Prescott missed the conversion, but his penalty rounded off a solid night’s work.Hull: R Horne; Best, Barnett, Kohe-Love, Prescott; Cooke, J Smith; Greenhill, T Smith, Logan, Maher, Ryan, Chester.

Teams visiting Welford Road generally have enough on their plate in the way of immediate problems without looking ahead to next season Sale like to do things a little differently, though. By way of preparing for tomorrow afternoon’s big Premiership match with Leicester, where an away victory might knock the champions clean out of contention for this year’s title, they have staged a nice piece of northern one-upmanship by luring Braam van Straaten away from Leeds. Van Straaten has signed a two-year deal and will prove particularly handy to Sale in the early stages of next season, when Charlie Hodgson is likely to be elsewhere – either confined to the physiotherapist’s couch or, if he recovers from injury sooner than anticipated, in Wallaby country with England.The Tigers, who face an almighty Heineken Cup rumble with Munster tomorrow week, may bring the unfamiliar figure of Austin Healey to bear on Sale. The Leicester Lip, who is expected to feature for the first time in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury, may just be in time to talk his way into his country’s summer trek to the Antipodes.Two of the three relegation-haunted sides in action tomorrow – Saracens and London Irish, who meet at Vicarage Road – will be at something close to full strength.

The Exiles have made seven changes to the side that lost catastrophically to Harlequins last month, the most notable being the return of the influential Ryan Strudwick after long-term injury. Bath, however, have been denied the services of both Mike Tindall and Adam Vander against Wasps at Adams Park.. The scars of battle are many and varied: a deep scratch running like a river from cheekbone to jaw, with a funny little bit at the end that may eventually turn into the facial equivalent of an ox-bow lake; a crusty scab over one eye and the shadow of a bruise under the other; stud marks clearly visible under the close-cropped hair now favoured by the vast majority of front-row forwards. Steve Thompson looks quite a picture – something by Picasso, admittedly, but a picture all the same.

Towards the end of the second term Tony Blair suggested that long-term reforms of pensions could only proceed smoothly with a cross-party consensus Now there is no consensus, not even within his cabinet. The huge, sprawling, intricate system just ain’t going to work. Here’s a truly Brave New World suggestion from the consultant, Richard Tyndall: ” … citizens are rewarded with points when they display behaviours in line with public policy objectives, such as choosing healthy eating options in a school canteen, or exercising at the leisure centre, or taking adult education courses, or using recycling facilities”.But at least we realised the civil liberties arguments will be resolved by operational considerations.

They’re removing most of the security (on cost grounds, probably). It appears now that there aren’t going to be biometric readers all over the public service (news to me, how about you?). The cards are now just fancy chip ‘n’ pin – more easily falsified but still freightable with carts of data. Not because the stories were false, but because they were “affecting public confidence”. It’s comforting to realise one is still young enough to be shocked. Professor Patrick Dunleavy from the London School of Economics (trashed whenever possible by the Home Office) told us that the whole nature of the proposed card had changed.

The records of that seminar are non-obtainable under the Freedom of Information Act.Mr Collins also told us how he’d been called in by one of the departments (he wouldn’t say which) and asked to stop writing articles about them. It was one of the early Blair Which? projects designed to introduce consumer services to government. It had cost £83m, Mr Liddell-Grainger said, “and the only reason we [on the committee] heard about it was that the Government was sued by one of the suppliers!”What about a company called Computacenter? They’ve been given £60m in three years by the Cabinet Office. Why? The Cabinet Office won’t say, and far from disclosing their brief, the company won’t admit to having the Government as a client.

Only bitter restraint prevents me adding another exclamation mark.Tony Collins of Computer Weekly referred to the seminar at which it was decided to devise an NHS card to put all British patient records online. If it doesn’t cost £20bn, it’ll cost £30bn; it dwarfs any other IT project. Tony Wright’s Public Administration Committee had in three information workers yesterday – a professor, a journalist and a local government consultant. It was a most unusual meeting: the questions were as interesting as the answers.
Tory Ian Liddell-Grainger wondered whether anyone in the room had heard of the True North project No one had. Those who fear their faith in government is vulnerable should look away now. If you believe in government accountability and transparency please take a walk to the bottom of your garden (don’t get mugged by the fairies).

Our network of trade and aid relationships is a foreign policy success. The establishment of the European Defence Agency, our presence in the Balkans, are a foreign policy successes.. If the United States has demonstrated the uses – and abuses – of hard power, I believe we in Europe have demonstrated the value of soft power. In an unstable world, the spread of democracy and its values through most of the European continent is one of the things which the EU’s founders hoped for but probably did not expect to see. European foreign and security policy is also a growing success story We actually do things, as well as talk about them Enlargement is a foreign policy success. The ironic thing is that even The Sun can, when it chooses, be understanding and compassionate.

Fiat (FIA.MI) has agreed to take a 20 percent stake in U.S.car maker Chrysler in an expansion strategy to weather thedownturn in global auto markets, and is now in talks to acquirethe European operations of struggling General Motors GM.N. German unions have told Italian counterparts the Fiatproposal involved downsizing its Pomigliano d’Arco plant nearNaples and closing the Termini facility, which employs around1,400 workers making Lancia vehicles Fiat has not made its plans public. “It’s normal that tensions are high, especially amongst theyoungsters who risk more than those who are close toretirement,” Berto Mastrosimone, representative of the CGILunion federation, told local television outside the plant “There is a lot of tension and its building up to a clash Icertainly don’t think it will stop today,” he said. Television images showed a few hundred workers gatheredpeacefully outside the plant’s main entrance, preventingvehicles from entering and blocking traffic on the road outside. A spokesman for Fiat at its Turin headquarters said aroundhalf the workers at the Termini Imerese plant downed tools from7.00 a.m. local to 8.30, and just over a third then stopped workbetween 9.20 and 11.00. “We will see if there is any more action this afternoon,”the spokesman said.

Fiat workers were due to travel to Turin on Saturday for amajor demonstration against plant closures. Italian union leaders have met with German counterparts andsaid they would adopt a common position about the shutting ofEuropean plants. “No plant must close,” Enzo Masini of Italy’s FIOM-CGILunion told Reuters on Wednesday after the union meeting.

One day somebody will come up with a foolproof formula that covers all tipping eventualities, in all countries; or will invent a small handheld device into which you tap the almost infinite number of variables that influence the size of your gratuity. For the services of a hotel porter, say, one might need to consider: the number of stars of the hotel; the floor on which your room is to be found; the distance from the service elevator to your room; the number and weight of your pieces of luggage; the brand of your luggage (if you can afford Vuitton, Goyard, Herm?or Dunhill you should tip accordingly); whether your accommodation is a room, a deluxe room, a junior suite, a suite, or presidential suite; and, finally, time elapsed between checking in and your luggage arriving in the room. Then, having decided whether to tip, there is the agony about how and when to do so. As a useful guide, where there is a saucer/ashtray/begging bowl, the aural element of the gratuity is important, so drop a coin or two. Where a tip cannot be left – on a restaurant table, say, or on a country-house dressing-table – fold a note into a small square, hold it in your palm and transfer it to the tippee’s palm.

Imagine that you are dining in an expensive restaurant and that you eat the soup, drink tap water and order the cheapest main course. When you pay the bill, your 10 to 15 per cent will be considerably less than that of the person who has started with Cristal and caviar, quaffed Roman?Conti with the barbary duck, then ordered Sauternes with the pudding. The website goes on to delineate the “or worse” in queasy detail. Let us just say that the 15 per cent you might tip in America is as much protection money as it is a guarantee of prompt service. But to think that tipping is a mere matter of calculating the right percentage of the bill is to underestimate the complexity of this bizarre science. But the chances are that hovering discreetly by the urinals or springing to attention at the sound of customer’s clicking fingers would not be your preferred method of earning a living In which case, tip.

But it does rather depend on the country in which the services are being offered. On the other side of the Atlantic, tipping is a much bigger deal, and the untipped American is often prepared to take ruthless revenge. A US website called the Stained Apron assures anyone who is a regular customer at a restaurant but does not tip a minimum of 15 per cent that “servers are doctoring your food or throwing it on the floor and then back on to your plate, or worse”. While you’re at it, why not round up the babysitter’s remuneration on your return home? Is such largesse excessive? It’s a matter of taste. One useful rule of thumb, if in doubt, is to ask yourself: is this a job I would like to do? If the answer is yes, keep your money in your pocket.

Comedy-wise, golf fans are not a discerning bunch.Still, you couldn’t blame anyone yesterday for having a smile on their face and a spring in their step. The sun sparkled on St Andrews Bay and the “auld grey toon” has never looked less grey. On the course and off, there was a lively carnival atmosphere. It even permeated Tesco’s in Market Street, where a rotund American seemed so glad to be alive that he reached over and pumped the hand of the lad behind the till “What’s your name, son?” “Paul,” said the bemused youngster.

“Well, it’s real nahce knowing you, Poll, real nahce.”The 11th tee, though, was the place to be. A succession of legends played gamely to the gallery, notably Gary Player, who knocked a five-wood stone dead and then simulated the walk of a bent old man, using his club as a walking stick. Tom Watson followed soon afterwards, and conducted the applause as his tee shot rolled inexorably down from the back of the green to within a few feet of the hole. Watson was playing with the inscrutable David Duval, and there was a significant moment when a young boy scampered under the ropes and ran up to Duval, waving an autograph book.

The five-times Open champion Watson, who was standing next to Duval, was roundly ignored Reputations count for nothing when you’re eight years old. And they won’t mean a great deal today, either, when the 129th Open begins in earnest.. Jim Corstophine, 63, has been caddieing at St Andrews for 50 years.

This is especially true since he’ll be 27 in early April, the age where most hitters peak statistically. Ever since then he hasn’t been able to put down the knife and fork. Duke has dominated this series outside of a surprising 4-point loss at Georgia Tech in early January, but the Blue Devils get their revenge with a big win behind one of the best home crowds in the nation. They can take that negative energy and turn it into a positive It is that “us vs. If the injuries were as serious as he is claiming then he should have backed out; instead, he chose to man-up and fight.An 18-month layoff made “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” very eager to step back into “The Octagon” and, along with the fact that the original main event between heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin was called off due to Lesnar’s illness, there was no way Ortiz was backing out at the last minute.The former light heavyweight champion owed it to his loyal fans and to the UFC to step up and put on a show against the original Ultimate Fighter winner.However, Ortiz realizes that it was a mistake to go through with that fight despite his medical condition. The Last chance for a road win will be March 3 in Columbia, SC.

We teach them computer literacy, and how to build their own computer, and at the end of the program we give them the computers to take home. But when I saw it as a 12-year-old, it was simply the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.  Whether it?s four-star pro-style quarterback Joe Boisture (6-6″, great size) or the four three-star players characterized as ?athletes,? Michigan St appears to have no shortage of firepower this year. The Scot went on to lose to Andy Roddick in the Quarter Finals in straight sets 6-3 6-4, Roddick went on to win the title Roddick beat Ferrero in the final..
