...gets freer and freer every year," says Bernie, a forty-something who takes a longer perspective. "And every year more and more guys come out of the closet. In Beijing and the big cities, you can see couples walking round the shopping malls holding hands. In the smaller cities some people are still underground, but even there, I hear it's getting better all the time...
...were similar, but on a big mountain like Everest, there were more immediate dangers - the possibility of avalanche or falling off the mountain or going down a crevasse. In the Antarctic the temperatures on the whole were colder, the distances were vast and it was a much longer sort of business really. So in our trip to the South Pole, we were under constant tension, for long, long periods. For hours we'd be under great tension. Whereas on a big mountain it would be for short periods. I enjoyed it.

Few doubt that toppling Saddam Hussein's dictatorship was more about breaking Arab military strength and projecting American strategic power than fighting terrorism, much less creating Iraqi democracy. While Iraq is no longer a one-man show, it will be a very long time before anyone considers the country, now dominated by Shi'ite Muslim gangs, Kurdish warlords and Sunni terrorists, emblematic of an emerging democracy. If the Iraq war was about Bush's freedom agenda, Arabs wonder, why has the White House stood...
