Chelsea were sufficiently involved to merit some reward: when Harford appeared on the wing and Dennis Wise cropped up in the middle the transposition was completed as the little winger headed in the big centre-forward’s cross.With six minutes to go Anders Limpar was brought on. Vickers held at 91p as Carr Kitcat & Aitken suggested profits of pounds 30m next year.Associated British Ports, up 10p to 277p, and Glaxo Holdings, 7p higher at 764p, drew support from investment meetings in Scotland.Irish packaging group Jefferson Smurfit dropped 16p to 214p Two directors sold 8 million shares. ‘We’re waiting for the Budget.’ The Budget is likely to be austere. They shared four yesterday but it was Lewis who made the initial breakthrough, after Emburey and Devon Malcolm had added just two to the overnight score, setting Sri Lanka 140 to win.

We know there are people for whom the ambition to kill is powerful, and it is not surprising to find them reading gun magazines and mercenary journals, enlisting in adventurous, masculine, high-risk occupations and – some of them – actually making their way to war zones in search of a slice of the action. In Madrid, Spain, a remote city of burning summers and icy winds, with no ocean or river, whose landbound population had never mastered the science of navigating on light.’Strange Pilgrims’, translated by Edith Grossman, is published by Cape on 16 September at 14.99. ‘I’m not liked by some people because I tell the truth,’ he says. something half-way between a small piano and a glockenspiel, with a marvellous, heavenly sound’ It was the celesta. THE questions the Human Fertilisation and Embryology

Authority wants answered.
Egg Donation:a: Should ways be sought of increasing the supply of eggs for use in research and infertility treatment? If so, what ways?Research:b: Should ovarian tissue from live donors be used in research?c: Should eggs or ovarian tissue from cadavers be used in research?d: Should eggs or ovarian tissue from foetuses be used?Treatment:e: Should ovarian tissue from live donors be used in treatment?f: Should eggs or ovarian tissue from cadavers be used in treatment?g: Should eggs or ovarian tissue from foetuses be used in treatment?Consent:h: If you think eggs or ovarian tissue from any of these sources should be allowed to be used in treatment or research, whose consent should be required? When should it be given and in what form? Should there be any difference in the consents required for eggs or tissue used for research and eggs or tissue used for treatment?THE CENTRAL issue in a new report on donated ovarian tissue revolves around the controversial possibility of using the eggs of aborted foetuses to help infertile women become pregnant.The consultative document published yesterday by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) also sets out the problems and benefits of the future use of eggs or ovaries taken from living women or from cadavers.It is set against the background of a shortage of eggs for fertility treatment, which means that women who are unable to produce their own eggs may wait three or four years for a donation.At the same time scientific advances mean that using foetal tissue could be technically possible in two or three years’ time.Explaining the key moral and scientific issues, the report says: ‘A potential difficulty might be thought to be that a generation of human development would be skipped if foetal ovarian tissue were used in infertility treatment.’It goes on: ‘In the case of children born from cadavaric or foetal ovarian tissue, the particular implications of finding out that their genetic mother had died before they were conceived, or was an aborted foetus, are unknown.’While the authority’s report is careful to be impartial and the document is a factual one, members of the HFEA have decided to take a lead in one aspect, which is the complex problem of obtaining the consent of a donor.The report states that its view – ‘at this stage’ – is that consent of a donor should always be obtained.Obviously a foetus cannot give consent but there are further complications and at present egg and sperm donation requires that ‘informed consent’ is given by the donor. ‘I was afraid that settlers from the plains had stolen my land.’
Entering the village, Sunil and his family were seen by women in tribal indigo and red striped sarongs who rose from their cooking-fires with shouts of greeting.

THE OLD conjuror turned up, late as usual, with another illusion to foist upon us. But the younger Kim did not say anything to any of the foreign dignitaries.Solemn music played as Kim Jong Il was seen dabbing tears from his eyes with a handkerchief.. But the bill – which was bitterly attacked by opposition parties – puts strict limits on the number of soldiers who can be dispatched overseas and on the kind of duties they can perform. Much will depend on the philosophy of the company: whether it has a paternalistic view that certain benefits, such as pensions, should be central to any package.There is also the argument that offering extensive flexibility can lead to administrative problems. Then, for a short time, the aggression of a Middle Eastern dictator, threatening the vital interests of the West, took the place of the Soviet menace. However, there is an intermediate classification that allows certain computers to be exported with a licence.

China is now under pressure on another count; Han Dongfang, a free trade union activist who has spent the past year in the United States for medical treatment, was last weekend thrown out of China after he tried legally to return home.A big difficulty with assessing China is that an outsider’s view can easily swing too severely from one side to the other. This is mid- way between the 5 and 10 per cent projected rates that his office is allowed by Lautro, the industry’s regulatory body, to use with clients.Five years ago, the mid- point projection would have been 8.75 per cent. I TOTALLY disregarded Hitchcock’s film, which I always thought was lousy, with no sense of suspense at all. Because they were not taken into account, the calculations assumed he had a much larger amount to pay off from July than he actually will have.Nationwide has now come up with much more sensible-looking figures after taking into account Mr Fryer’s May and June payments.The society’s spokesman admitted the society would not have done this had Mr Fryer not queried the figures, but any over-payments would have been credited to his accounts at the end of the year or when the loan was redeemed.Nationwide also says that it is reviewing its procedures for calculating interest so that this does not happen again.The spokesman said: ‘I think the reason this arose was that there was a long gap between when the new mortgage rate was announced and the time it came into effect. FRANCE slipped deeper into crisis yesterday as lorry-drivers’ protests paralysed much of the country for the seventh day.
