...that World Cup 2006 is over. It took up far too many of the TV sport channels. Football is without a doubt the most boring game to watch, especially at the World Cup level. What other game played by such enormously talented players has to resort to a penalty shoot-out after 90 minutes of normal playing time and 30 minutes of extra time to decide the outcome? And then, that outcome ultimately rests on the goalkeeper's guessing correctly which way to dive! Tuan Pickard Port Elizabeth, South Africa Controversial Cleric I was saddened by your interview with Katharine...
...Including, now, a Hollywood-style film set. Last decade one of Albany's famous sons, novelist Tim Winton, created a young surf rat not too dissimilar to Wade, and the children's TV series based on him, Lockie Leonard, has been shooting at the author's alma mater, Albany Senior High School.

"It was a dog's life," he says, with nights spent at sea without amenities in an "open-slather" industry in which "everyone was ready to shoot each other." Things today are far more civilized. Each of the 181 licensed fishermen in Steele's Southern Zone is limited to a maximum catch: no more than 159.3 kg per lobster pot per October?May season. Once you reach that limit, you're on holidays, though usually with decent spending money. As the 17-m fiberglass lobster...
...pilots may be able to turn around and fly home at the end of the day, but that doesn't mean it's a question of shoot and forget. On the contrary, like everyone else, they return home to watch the international news of Israeli bombing runs gone wrong: cars of fleeing families hit, apartment buildings smashed and hundreds of Lebanese civilians killed...
