TIME: What other changes will people notice? RATTLE: It's an astonishingly young orchestra now. I'm not used to thinking of myself as the grey eminence, but sometimes I feel like that. Orchestras constantly change, but also keep a lot of the same characteristics. What is the same and no one would ever want to lose is that it still plays as though it's from the bowels of the earth, as though the sound comes from underneath. This orchestra physically moves more than any other. It's not an orchestra that counts a lot - sometimes they could...
...Abdel Hadi Palace stinks of urine and damp. A little girl with a dirt-smeared face shuffles barefoot in the muddy courtyard. The women of the Zakari family lean out of their window, an Ottoman arch whose grey stone is pitted by the weather of 250 years. The place was built for one of the richest families in Nablus. Now it serves as rented accommodation for the city's poorest, hidden in the heart of the Casbah.

...title conjures up lighthearted, even ludicrous, images of an elderly man in a grey Chilean general's uniform, weaving his way through the tourist-packed arteries of London's neon heart. But Pinochet in Piccadilly (Faber and Faber; 280 pages), British journalist Andy Beckett's examination of the economic, political and social links between Britain and Chile, is no pleasant day out in a democratic capital. For Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, the former Chilean dictator, there will be no more trips to Piccadilly or, indeed, anywhere in Europe. As both arms buyer and tourist over the years, Pinochet loved to visit...
