What a great idea.!! All power to you my friend. I am sorry that I cannot be with you in London (at the Australian High Commission) on the 27th (of May), as i will be traveling. My thoughts and good wishes go with you all. See you on Monday at the House. John Pilger --end "The Crawl". The apologists.. Edward Heath (a sailor who once said that he did not like those who play golf.) (the man must be insane.) And John Major, (often seen with the cricket bat in hand or on a seat at Lords.). The two more pro Euro englishmentarians who first brought the EuroMarketCom, and later Santer, into British life. Both crawled before parliament this week. Heath is the PM, classical musician / conducter, who in 1972, without the introduction of protection for the creative musicians of the UK, and with a union already selling out the democratic process for "something more cadre worthwhile", sold the exclusive marketing arrangement between the US and the UK down the river. And as far as good music is concerned, a cultural sanctity based upon a sharing of language, depth of linear history , progression and the frontiers of rhythm, to an end Now North America copies such music as sold by Bertlesmann Publishing, BMG of Germany, a publishing company accused of having links with the 3rd Reich. ------------------------------- Impressive.......... the tender touch.. That controversial album ? *** ANC member Boesak guilty of fraud CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - One of the most visible figures of the anti-apartheid struggle was convicted Wednesday of stealing money from his charity, including donations from singer Paul Simon. Allan Boesak was found guilty on four counts of fraud or theft totaling $400,000 and acquitted on 23 other charges. He faces an unspecified fine or jail term. Arguments in the sentencing phase of the trial were set to begin Tuesday. "The accused willingly and unlawfully appropriated the money," Judge John Foxcroft said in declaring Boesak guilty of one count of fraud and one of theft in the Simon case. After a South African concert tour in 1988, Simon donated the equivalent of $200,000 to Boesak's foundation, but Boesak passed on only $128,000, the judge said. Foxcroft ruled Boesak used the remainder for his own purposes. --------- SNIP ""Palmer retained his immense popularity even as his playing powers declined and in later years he turned his attention to course design with equal success.

(And, those nearly deaf folks at the Golf Channel...) ------------- The sanction buster. McCormack defends rankings at star-studded Bay Hill ORLANDO, Florida, March 17 - Ten of the world's 12 top-ranked golfers are contesting the Bay Hill Invitational starting on Thursday. On Wednesday, Mark McCormack, founder of the controversial world rankings, rose to defend the statistical measurement. The rankings, constantly attacked by many of the players since their inception in 1987, have taken on increasing importance over the past few years. They are now used to help determine the fields in three of the four major championships, as well as two of the three new World Championships events. Some players claim it is impossible to properly compare players on different tours around the world, while others have argued that the rankings are biased either for or against various tours. Most recently, numerous players have expressed disbelief that Tiger Woods remains number one ahead of David Duval, even though Duval has won far more tournaments over the past 18 months. McCormack, chief of the powerful International Management Group and chairman of the governing board of the rankings, (what a suprise?) has not been deaf to the criticism. Indeed, the rankings have been tweaked over the years. For example, they are now calculated over two years, rather than the old three-year time span. But there have been suggestions that the time frame should be reduced even further, to just one year, in which case Duval presently would be number one, rather than number two. On this issue, McCormack could not disagree more. "Had there not been a two-year ranking, Greg Norman (out injured for seven months last year) would not have qualified for the 1999 Masters," said McCormack. "I think there is nobody that would say that Greg Norman isn't among the top 50 players in the world today, and if we had a one-year system, he wouldn't be there. McCormack was speaking at the announcement that a trophy in his name would bepresented to the player who held the number one spot for the longest period each year. Woods was presented the inaugural award for 1998, and he said: "We all have our own little egos and it is neat to be able to compare ourselves with players we don't get to see everyday." U.S. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who was at the press conference, indicated he was happy with the rankings: "The rankings are a very sound structure, basically, to measure players from around the world." It was only a few years ago that the PGA Tour officially endorsed the rankings, so Finchem has little choice but to publicly support them these days. Even so, many PGA Tour players have little respect for the rankings, believing that they do not adequately reflect the strength of the U.S. PGA Tour. ==================================== THE OLYMPICS "We can have the normal one, presumeably with Nike and Murdoch and McCormack in tow.

It would depress you to read the rest, but maybe worth it. ======================== ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
