‘Buthelezi would best serve federalism, Inkatha and the Zulu royalists the security forces will now have to contain by announcing his formal retirement from politics.’The only alternative is what one of his advisers described on Thursday as ‘resistance politics’, first with the purpose of sabotaging the elections in Natal/KwaZulu and second to adopt a role similar to that of the ANC in the old days, only this time in opposition to a post-apartheid democratic system.The question is, does Chief Buthelezi have the capacity to mount such a campaign? And can his conservative Zulu supporters hold the elections to ransom through a campaign of terror?The European Union observers in South Africa believe not. But in making his judgement this time, President Clinton must weigh both the economic boom which has hugely increased China’s value as a trading partner, and Peking’s pivotal role in the growing crisis over North Korea’s nuclear programme.The only economic advantage of terminating MFN is that by raising tariffs on imported goods by between twofold and tenfold, it would probably eliminate China’s dollars 12bn (pounds 8bn) trade surplus with the US, second only to that of Japan. Maybe we can learn something, but never to the extent that might have been possible with the method that we had.’In North Korea the IAEA had detected possible undeclared plutonium but had no means of finding it without the co-operation of the authorities. Published papers, however obscure, count for more than good teaching. Such conditions contribute to Britain’s reputation for having the worst public loos in northern Europe, apart, perhaps, from the pissoirs of Paris.Disgust with the situation led Susan Cunningham to form the pressure group, All Mod Cons. The trust has become the first group of crofters to end what many regard as a near-feudal system of land management.However, with surveyors and estate management experts only now beginning to examine the economics of the deal, the consensus is that the trust may be in for a tough time.Niall Graham-Campbell, a partner of the surveyors Finlayson-Hughes in Perth, which specialises in Highland estates, said: ‘I should think the crofters in Assynt will live to regret buying the estate.’ He said no one could manage a crofting estate and make money. The programme prints a snatch from ‘Hurricane’, his song based on the trial of a black, middle-weight boxer, and listening to the slangy-urgent, rubbery-voiced drive Shale gives to the story, you’re reminded, from time to time, of Dylan-esque delivery.A miniaturised boxing ring, scuffed mirrors, a locker, fight posters: John Abbott’s production doesn’t need much in the way of sets.
But Mr Stevens said: ‘I don’t call any incident like this minor. Mr Yeltsin’s opponents are drawn from the elderly, the less skilled, less confident members of the old party apparatus who fear losing their privileges, and the managers and workers of heavy industrial dinosaurs that can survive only with subsidies from Moscow. Clifford recommended to Taylor a Fleet Street news agency and also gave him the names of five people whom he might contact, including Russell Cox, the picture editor of the Sunday Mirror and an old friend of Clifford’s.Taylor went to the Sunday Express three weeks ago and asked for pounds 100,000 for the British rights to the pictures He got nowhere. Representatives from about 150 organisations were coming together to discuss a constitution for a British ‘African Reparations Movement’.The Labour MP for Tottenham’s theme is that Britain is a dangerous place for blacks. The programme complements departmental training, which is being taken much more seriously. The Prime Minister insisted that recent controversies had not invalidated the policy, and ruled out ‘witch- hunts’ against people who behaved foolishly.
John Smith, the Labour leader said the policy had collapsed: ‘You get a different formulation every time you hear it explained.’Speaking in detail on the BBC’s Frost on Sunday for the first since the enforced resignation of Tim Yeo last week for fathering a child in an extramarital affair, the Prime Minister drew a distinction between ’silly indiscretion’, for which people had tolerance, and bad behaviour which should mean resignation.As Tory officals in the Suffolk South consituency of Mr Yeo digested the admission in Sunday newspapers that he fathered another baby before he was married, Tory activists in Epping, Essex, said the reselection of their MP, Steven Norris, Under-Secretary for Transport, was not automatic. Several of the older funds have generated annual rates of return of between 50 and 70 per cent for several years, which alone has hugely increased their financial muscle.
The political volatility of agrochemicals and the economic turbulence surrounding chemicals make for a suspect hedging mix, however.Specialities may be in line for continued recovery. We decided to have a look at that issue.’I think the programme was very fair to the Conservative Party. Those who wrote letters of the kind all club chairmen must receive – you don’t spend enough on the team, you don’t love the club like I do – didn’t get standard replies. IT’S 17 years since the Alvin Ailey company last appeared in London, and while much of the modern dance world has, during this time, withdrawn into ironic or alienated reticence, this company brings a reminder that the form can be brash, bawdy and big.(There’s a temptation to add bad – except that’s hardly a quality exclusive to the Ailey company.) The pure Ailey experience – the flamboyant physical high for which the company is famous – actually gets delivered in just one piece during their first programme, Ailey’s own 1960 number Revelations. Kennedy-Wilson, one of the world’s largest auction-marketing groups, aims to repeat the exercise next weekend with nine homes at Northwood, Middlesex, where minimum prices are up to a third less than original values set by the builders, Prowting. Last year, they formed three joint ventures, two of which – Fujitsu ICL Systems in North America and Fujitsu Systems Business Europe – are ICL-controlled..
