The statement by the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) appeared here shortly after President Salinas, facing possibly Mexico’s worst crisis since the 1910-17 revolution, sacked his Interior Minister and reshuffled his cabinet as a concession to the insurgents.In an admission of mistakes rare in his Institutional Revolutionary Party, Mr Salinas said his reshuffle – sacking the Interior Minister, Jose Patrocinio Gonzalez, and switching the Foreign Minister, Manuel Camacho Solis, to head a special Commission for Peace and Reconciliation in Chiapas – was ‘a recognition of what had not functioned’ and ‘to prevent the dynamic of the grave events in Chiapas from leading to more confrontations’.Mr Camacho said yesterday he was willing to talk to the rebels. ‘They’re all looking for each other – a whole generation – but how do they find each other?’One way that is growing is via introduction agencies, which offer regular introductory dinners, or exchange of contact numbers. ‘But they won’t last as long.’ Boom boom.When he first told it, he’d said the earrings lasted longer, but was misquoted in the press, so decided their version was funnier.

As the US was drawn into the Second World War, Morgan’s photographs of Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham and Doris Humphrey expressed not only a fascination with modern dance, but also an enduring belief in progressive liberal US values.While Morgan’s dance photographs had extolled the radical culture of progressive New York, much of her work of the late Thirties was sharply critical of US society. The central engineering conumdrum was devising a method of sinking the 41- metre (130ft) concrete support piles for the building into the ground without damaging the amphitheatre.Placing a 100-tonne piling rig directly on the site to drive the supports into the ground would have shattered the remains.The solution has been to build a platform or transfer deck on top of temporary piles which were dug with much lighter machinery and which did not disturb the remains.These smaller supports are designed to carry the combined weight of the 750-tonne platform and the main piling rig during the second phase of the operation – sinking the principal piles for the new building.After the weight of the platform has been shifted from the temporary piles to the main supports, it will be strong enough to carry the weight of the new gallery.Enormous customised steel girders are being brought into London from a steel manufacturer in Bolton to build the platform.

The fact is, as diplomats in Pretoria acknowledge, that the world’s influence on South African politics has diminished considerably since February 1990, when President de Klerk unbanned the ANC and released Mr Mandela from prison.Pre-1990 foreign governments had what diplomats call a ‘wish list’, the key points of which – release Mandela, repeal apartheid laws, start constitutional talks – the government was pressed into fulfilling. The United States is unusual by European standards in that many of its poor are in work but do not earn enough to keep themselves. That document will contain a subsidy compromise on which ministers can bury their strong differences, in the hope that it will win public acceptance and the backing of Conservative backbench rebels.However, British Coal will also have a say, and it believes that a subsidy of pounds 500m will create a market for only 15 million tonnes.
