The hidden city
21.07.2010, 16:45
Parisians have always valued secrecy, says Andrew Hussey, and by the mid-18th century the city was home to numerous secret societies of occultists, pagans, neo-Gnostics, Freemasons, and the devil knows what else besides. ("It is well known that Satan visits Paris often," observed one 16th-century priest.)

This clandestine activity was still going strong in 1935, when the writer Georges Bataille and the artist André Masson formed a secret society called Acéphale. Bataille secretly hoped that one of the group's members would one day volunteer to let him kill them as a human sacrifice, but, selfishly, not one of them did.
Hispanic dance enlivens city

Wilmington Drive looks like any other street in this sleepy bedroom community. It is lined by houses with just a few scattered streetlights to guide the way. Cars compete for space on every corner. It is quiet most nights, except for Mondays and Wednesdays.

On those nights, plena, bomba, salsa and hip-hop blast from a garage. Scores of little feet dance to the beat. These are the nights that the Hispanic-American Youth Group of Deltona, or HAYGD, makes its presence known to the neighborhood.

Memory is their guide

The opening chapter of Kevin Brockmeier's extraordinary new novel, "The Brief History of the Dead," is as breathtaking as any fiction I have read in the past few years. People who have died describe their crossing over into a nameless city in the afterlife. To one blind man, the crossing felt like he walked for days through a desert.

Another man described his passage as an amusement park train ride. A girl passed through an ocean the color of dried cherries and a rain of ball bearings.

The M&S pension trustees are notorious for refusing to meet Philip Green when he attempted to buy the retailer in 2004, in what proved to be the deciding factor in him walking away from the bid.
Watson should be no stranger to trustee activism, having run activist fund manager Hermes, which manages BT's Ł23bn pension fund.
Hornets to Play in Oklahoma City
01.11.2009, 17:22
Shortly after the NBA announced that Oklahoma City will serve as the temporary home for the New Orleans Hornets, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett explained that his city was an ideal location because it offers more than just a state-of-the-art facility and a community hungry for a major league sports franchise -- it offers people who can relate to Louisiana residents.

"Few American cities have experienced the level of tragedy as Oklahoma City," said Cornett, whose city endured the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 and a deadly tornado four years later. "And I think for that reason, we are especially sensitive to those who live in the Gulf Coast and have been so severely affected by Hurricane Katrina."ű
