You may or may not have heard about Johnny Depp’s crusade. He has long been the most private of movie stars, but this Saturday night, he will break character when he appears on CBS’ investigative news show “48 Hours Mystery” to defend the West Memphis Three, who as teenagers were found guilty of the hideous 1993 murder of three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas.

Manchester uses three firms, hoping the competition will ensure high standards of conduct.Both the National Consumer Council and the National Association of Citizens’ Advice Bureaux have been highly critical of the way private bailiffs operate.

If any of the institutions facing litigation over the Maxwell pensions saga still lack a new year resolution, perhaps we could suggest a promise to settle out of court as soon as possible. In 1954 Elizabeth David wrote about pesto repeatedly in her classic book on Italy, proclaiming it to be the best sauce for pasta.

The present estimate contrasts with a membership of 2.9 million in 1951 and 1.5 million in the mid-Seventies.The sole consolation among senior Central Office sources is that Tory membership remains four times greater than that of the Liberal Democrats and double that of the Labour Party.Eric Chalker, an executive committee member of the National Union, the voluntary wing of the party, said: ‘The evidence from active constituents is that people are still ready to join the Conservative Party when asked.’But we still completely fail to make the position to members sufficiently worthwhile to retain the energy and enthusiasm of the people we need to restore our fortunes.’The Charter Movement, which campaigns for greater party democracy, claims the Tory rank-and-file is disenchanted with the lack of say in how its money is spent.. Boyden listened and took notice of party members and electorate: he would never sacrifice principles for short-term popularity His strength was that he understood the ’system’. Rainey, a three-time world champion, and Schwantz have turned this year’s championship into a two-man battle..

Some of the appeal of Bennett’s Madness of George III stems from this sense, too. Successful mine clearance requires a 99 per cent success rate before areas can be declared safe.The anti-mine campaign, co- ordinated by the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, has won enthusiastic support from the UN Secretary-General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Unicef, the ICRC and over 100 other organisations, including Oxfam.Armies say they use mines against troops or tanks. ‘I don’t believe it was an accident; you don’t get that sort of injury through accidents.

They are accused of taking all the plum jobs, in the judiciary for instance. Could it be theft or a bit of surreptitious imbibing in the Sharman cellar? Embarrassingly, for the new KPMG chief suit, a recount found the reason for the shortfall was a simple book- keeping error.More gays on company boards.

Nor is it afraid of pinching other banks’ ideas.Its audacious approach has, according to your point of view, been either a breath of fresh air in the fuggy, clubby City, or a dangerously destabilising influence.

The policies were wrong, but Mr Clinton had a chance to test both. But manga fans will be disappointed: Katsuhiro Otomo, the man in question, is responsible for the story and design here, but the direction is by another hand, and it shows. Last month the Clinton administration approved a plan to let loose 30 grey wolves in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho, but there is a hitch: the wolves will not be considered endangered species, as they have been until now, and can therefore be hunted.Meanwhile, the hunter’s friends in the Congress and the gun lobby led by the National Rifle Association have been seeking other ways to curb the animal activists’ activities. We also asked for a public inquiry into the scheme as a whole to allow these ideas to be discussed.

The appointments were forced on Mr Sugar by disgruntled institutions.Mr Lalvani said the appointment of Mr Watkins would ‘accelerate Binatone’s global expansion’.The company, which grew from humble beginnings importing transistor radios from Hong Kong in the 1960s, now supplies 30 per cent of all telephones in the UK, more even than BT.. The National remains the most popular sporting event among television audiences and will attract more betting money today, an estimated pounds 75m, than it ever has done.And to many of the jockeys who will attempt to combat the 30 unique fences, the four-and-a-half mile race remains the ultimate test of horse and rider.

INVESTORS in Martin International, which sells 40 per cent of its clothing products to Marks & Spencer, were left considerably poorer yesterday as the shares collapsed 38p to 49p on an unexpected dive into the red.

The ARL has accepted that the damage was accidental, but has ordered Minichiello to do community work with junior clubs in Sydney.Stuart is an intriguing appointment in another sense, as he is already on record as asserting that next year’s Tri-Nations should be postponed until after the 2008 World Cup.Stuart has also revealed that the Roosters will not release Adrian Morley to play for Bradford against Wests-Tigers in the World Club Challenge in February. “No one in rugby league has been firmer than Wayne Bennett on the need to curb binge drinking by players,” he said.It was one of Stuart’s Sydney players, Anthony Minichiello, who was involved in the main incident of the tour, when a restaurant window was broken in France. The Australian Rugby League’s chairman, Colin Love, said that a leaked manager’s report, which seemed to suggest a persistent problem, had been quoted out of context. “Players and officials have told me that it was the quietest tour of all time,” he said. “There was no regular binge drinking and limited alcohol consumption during the entire tour.”
The teetotal Bennett has bridled at suggestions that his successor, Ricky Stuart, will be better at keeping the players in check by virtue of being “one of the boys. Just look at the Sydney Roosters’ track record over the last four or five years for some of their bad behaviour and tell me whether that approach works,” he saidLove has also spoken out in Bennett’s support. Luiz Lombardi, Luxemburgo’s spokesman, said that the coach had negotiated a two-year deal with the team he led to the Brazilian championship last year..

Australia have denied that it was a binge-drinking culture that led to their Tri-Nations defeat and the resignation of Wayne Bennett as national coach. “Real Madrid has to have a team that not only wins, but also provides spectacle and entertainment.” Luxemburgo will return to Santos, the Brazilian club he left 11 months ago. The latest incumbent is the former reserve team coach, Juan Ramon Lopez Caro, who took charge on a caretaker basis last week following the sacking of the Brazilian Wanderley Luxemburgo “The club have developed a system in which we have made talent our priority and there aren’t many coaches around who are capable of administrating that ,” Perez said. “We don’t have a big enough squad to allow him to leave.” Perez added that it would not be easy to find a coach capable of creating a team from the talented individuals in his squad. “The press are in their right to speak about it but if we signed all the players they talk about we would have 60 players in the squad.” Perez also denied that the board had spoken with their midfielder David Beckham about his former Manchester United team-mate.

Should Real sign Keane it has been suggested that the Denmark midfielder Thomas Gravesen would be surplus to requirements However, Perez insisted that the Dane would be staying. Spots at full-back, striker and goalkeeper are the remaining places in the squad still up for grabs, and Eriksson said he was watching Wayne Bridge, Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe and Kieran Richardson closely. “You always hope some new player will come on, although in just six months that’s not very likely,” he said. “I will be looking at the form of the players and what positions they are playing in I think I learn from every match I see And it’s great fun as well Bent is one of the under-21 players and Richardson too. “Hopefully our fans will behave and I’m sure they will – they did it in Portugal, they did it in Japan so it will be another nice party.”Eriksson also said that it would take an exceptional performance from an emergent player in the second half of this season to convince him to change his squad – 20 of which he said he could name already.

Finally, the members’ club, englandfans+, will share out the eight per cent allocation the FA receives for every England match – however, membership, at 25,000, is already closed.Although the German authorities say they will welcome England fans without tickets to various festivals they will be holding in the 12 host cities, an unprecedented amount of supporters face the prospect of missing out on seeing their team play. Eriksson told the German ambassador to Britain, Thomas Matussek, that he believed English fans would behave next summer but that they needed to be given the opportunity to watch their team play live.”You will see a lot of English people in Germany next summer, what we need is more tickets because I think there will be more English people than from any other country,” Eriksson said. Some will have been lucky and got a seat to watch England play, others could be looking at a place for Angola v Iran or Tunisia v Saudi Arabia.A further 300,000 went on sale on Monday – fans register for an online ballot that takes place on 15 January but that works out at around 4,500 a game for applications from all over the world. About 1.3m tickets were sold in February which went to fans who were prepared to buy them “blind”. I would call on Fifa to give us more tickets and it would be very good if Fifa will do that for the England fans.”In a World Cup so tightly regulated by the Germans and Fifa – each ticket will be coded to carry the name, address and passport number of its owner – it was a bold step by the FA but reflects a concern that England’s fans have been badly let down by the system. He said that the FA will ask Fifa – football’s world governing body – for more tickets.”I think that’s fair Whether it will happen or not, I don’t know,” Eriksson said.

“Someone at the FA told me we will have maybe 100,000 fans out there, even though we may only get 4,000 tickets for our matches That is amazing. That will be 10 per cent of the total supporters brought by all 32 nations but there are no more than 4,500 tickets per game still available.
Eriksson chose the meeting at the German embassy to lead the FA’s plea for more tickets to accommodate a travelling support that will dwarf those brought by first-round opponents Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Sweden. As well as the 23-man playing squad, support staff and Football Association hierarchy that Eriksson will lead to Germany next year, it is expected that 100,000 English fans will make the trip for the first three Group B games in Frankfurt, Nuremberg and Cologne. The England manager made a special plea to Germany’s organising committee and Fifa to give English fans a greater allocation of tickets.

The 27-year-old Fenerbahce defender, sent off for aiming a punch at the Portugal defender Fernando Couto in the quarter-finals of Euro 2000, became available after a move to the Greek club Olympiakos collapsed. Aston Villa’s John Gregory made a belated incursion into the big-money transfer market yesterday when he signed the Turkish international Alpay Ozalan for £5.6m.

Gaspart is flying into London in a effort to gain pre-contract agreements for both Petit and Overmars in order to enhance his campaign.

Gaspart is trying to emulate Real Madrid’s Flornetino Perez, who signed Luis Figo from Barcelona in a similar deal and clinched the popular vote to become president. Arsenal would want £7m for Petit and £11m for Dutchman Overmars.Another Premiership club was also busily engaged in expanding its squads at vast expense yesterday. The Sunderland manager, Peter Reid, is ready to spend £3.5m on the Argentinian Julio Arca and hopes to finalise the ambitious transfer of the talented left-footed 19-year-old today after his club, Argentinos Juniors, revealed he had flown to England.

Of course, one could rattle on about the impact of this rather large architectural cuckoo in the Glyndebourne nest: about whether such features of its somewhat anonymous contemporary exterior as the concourse canopy do not oddly hark back to the Festival of Britain; or whether the converging sight-lines of its horseshoe- shaped auditorium may not prove restricting to stage designers.

Magazines would carry advice to parents, saying “not suitable” for children under certain ages.As a backbencher, his Bill will have little chance of success without government help. Should we be allowing children to have magazines with advice on masturbation and oral sex?”Mr Luff is preparing a Bill to introduce certification controls, like those on cinema films, establishing a recommended age limit for children to read certain magazines.It would also establish an independent panel to decide on the certificates for magazines, and to hear complaints. “We would suffer a loss of trade if we took it out,” he said “… the thing that’s really annoying is that no one there would listen to reason or argument You pay or they threaten to cut you off.

It’s really worrying when they are after more monopoly sporting events.”BSkyB maintained that its new pricing structure linked to rateable values introduced last September represented a fairer system and reflected the increasing coverage of international sporting events. A spokesman said about 30,000 pubs and clubs already took the service, with 10,000 new subscribers each year, and few were dropping the coverage.. COLIN BROWN

Age restrictions could be imposed on teenage magazines under Tory plans to curb the amount of explicit sex advice on offer to children.The sex advice to under-age teenagers in some of the magazines has shocked Conservative MPs and some major supermarket chains, including Sainsbury’s and Asda, as well as WH Smith, the retail newsagent, have refused to stock one particular title, after complaints by parents.A Bill to enforce new curbs on teenage magazines is to be introduced by Peter Luff, the Tory MP for Worcester, who said he was shocked to discover what his own children were reading.”I was very surprised by the content of these magazines It is quiet explicit sex advice. Chris Ripper, the personnel and trading director, said: “We did not welcome the sudden, steep increase in rates in our pubs, which in some cases was 314 per cent.”Screenings of sports on Sky do not generate significant incremental profit for our pubs, although they are enjoyed and expected by customers in some houses.”At the Bellevue Hotel, Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, where the cost for showing BSkyB in the bar rose from pounds 12 a month in 1994 to pounds 130, the owner could not afford to pull the plug because of the business he would lose.But Peter Driscoll, the deputy manager, said that the increased business from events did not meet the higher charges.

But angry landlords faced with hefty bills – as much as pounds 120 a month for a large pub – and threats of being cut off complained bitterly.In a letter to the OFT, the Brewers and Licensed Retailers’ Association accused BSkyB of acting in an “arrogant and high-handed” manner in introducing a “new and totally unreasonable tariff for the public viewing of their satellite TV programmes in pubs”.OFT officials are still examining the complaint to decide if the matter should be referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.Brewers Bass and Whitbread are reviewing their position, but Scottish & Newcastle, Greene King and Greenalls, have already dropped BSkyB from some of their pubs.Of Scottish & Newcastle’s 1,950 managed pubs, 102 no longer have BSkyB.

Huge increases in subscription charges for BSkyB television have prompted publicans to complain to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) over the satellite station’s pricing policies.
Many pubs in three of the leading brewery chains have decided to stop screening BSkyB, particularly popular for its sports coverage, when faced with as much as a quadrupling of prices.The furore is bound to intensify the storm surrounding BSkyB as the deadline for submissions to the OFT’s inquiry into the broadcaster’s near-monopoly of film and sport for pay-television passes this Friday.Small cable operators which buy BSkyB at wholesale prices complained that its control of conditional access technology for scrambling and unscrambling the signals was an abuse of its position in the market.Yesterday, the former Secretary of State for National Heritage, David Mellor, joined the fray, adding his weight to moves to amend the Broadcasting Bill to prevent BSkyB buying up eight major sporting events which would disappear from terrestrial television.He hailed the eight events – the Olympics, the football World Cup, Test cricket, Wimbledon, the Grand National, The Derby, the FA Cup final and the Scottish FA Cup final – as the “crown jewels of sport”.But David Elstein, head of programming at BSkyB, heaped scorn on the cross-party moves and said the only people to suffer from a clampdown would be the sports’ governing bodies which would lose out financially.Now, as well as fears over BSkyB dominance of major sporting events, there is anger over subscription charges.Major sporting events shown exclusively on BSkyB, such as Frank Bruno’s world boxing championship bout, can be a big draw: 10 million viewers were said to have watched, an estimated 6.5m in the pub. “She thought you’d want to know.” It was typical of Granny to be making contact, finally, just as there was no more contact to be had.. Granny Pike had them.”"I thought you hated Granny Pike.”I pause “I loved her angel chimes They’re a good memory.

And the kids love them.”"You’re an optimistic old thing really, aren’t you?” Jonathan says – and I am suddenly at a loss.I put the chimes away – they dismantle neatly into a flat little cardboard box.Granny Pike lived to be a very old lady. The last time I saw her, I cycled four miles to take her a bunch of buttercups picked in the hedgerows. When she died in a nursing home – barely visited by her son – she hadn’t seen us for eight or nine years. But we later heard she’d had photos of us by her bed – pictures of three little girls, frozen in time.It was a dark, snowy day and we were nearly grown up when a nurse rang from the home “Mrs Pike has died,” she told us. “Thanks for the weeds,” she’d said.”Why did you buy those angel chimes?” asks Jonathan.

No sweeping and dusting, only good fire and dry sheets were necessary. She seemed willing to do her best; though she thrust the hearth-brush into the grates in mistake for the poker, and malappropriated several other articles of her craft: but I retired, confiding in her energy for a resting-place against my return Wuthering Heights was the goal of my proposed excursion. An afterthought brought me back, when I had quitted the court.”All well at the Heights?” I inquired of the woman.”Eea, f’r owt ee knaw!” she answered, skurrying away with a pan of hot cinders.I would have asked why Mrs Dean had deserted the Grange, but it was impossible to delay her at such a crisis, so I turned away and made my exit, rambling leisurely along, with the glow of a sinking sun behind, and the mild glory of a rising moon in front – one fading, and the other brightening – as I quitted the park, and climbed the stony by-road branching off to Mr Heathcliff’s dwelling. Before I arrived in sight of it, all that remained of day was a beamless amber light along the west: but I could see every pebble on the path, and every blade of grass, by that splendid moon. I had neither to climb the gate nor to knock – it yielded to my hand That is an improvement, I thought.

And I noticed another, by the aid of my nostrils; a fragrance of stocks and wallflowers wafted on the air from amongst the homely fruit-trees.Both doors and lattices were open; and yet, as is usually the case in a coal-district, a fine red fire illumined the chimney: the comfort which the eye derives from it renders the extra heat endurable. But the house of Wuthering Heights is so large that the inmates have plenty of space for withdrawing out of its influence; and accordingly what inmates there were had stationed themselves not far from one of the windows. I could both see them and hear them talk before I entered, and looked and listened in consequence; being moved thereto by a mingled sense of curiosity and envy, that grew as I lingered.
