...slightly naughty song - the only tune that conjures up the joyous anarchy of early John Waters movies - is not in the show. I suspect that someone urged cutting it because the more sensitive souls in the audience thought it too ugly to be funny. It is on the CD, though, hiding 11 seconds after the end of the final song. "Blood on the Pavement" is a parody of 50s-60s public-service jingles and is delivered with a perky confidence that makes the message ever so much more ghoulish. Just a few lines, for the curious: "Don't drink...
...adventures in the service of the British Empire everywhere from central Africa to the South China Sea, but he always had warm memories of his years in Iraq, though this may be because he learned the noble sport of pigsticking there (we've got pictures of that too).

The Saudi intelligence chief Prince Nawwaf blamed the attack on "traders in illegal matters." But Western diplomats suspect that Islamic militants were behind this and previous bombings, which killed two foreigners and injured eight others since November 2000.

...September 2001, a messenger working there was caught photocopying files. He was fired, but police began a year-long investigation that led it to conclude the I.R.A. was stealing politically sensitive material, such as communications between officials in Belfast and Downing Street. "What we know so far, or suspect so far," said the province's First Minister David Trimble, leader of Ulster's unionists, "is that there has been an I.R.A. intelligence operation directed against the upper echelons of the government, having penetrated the Northern Ireland Office." As the political wing of the I.R.A., Sinn Fein members are well used...
