Bryon Butler investigates two contrasting ways of spending an active Sunday in London: 22 Oxford United and Queen's
Park Rangers footballers (plus a referee and two linesmen) are at Wembley for the Milk Cup Final; and 23,000 runners are taking part in the Mars London Marathon.
For the less energetic, there's the prospect of two-and-a-half weeks of late-night snooker-watching with the Embassy World Professional
Championships about to start in Sheffield.

Five studies in talent and perversity 3: Frank Harris
Harris wanted to be a great man of letters and, for a time, was a good editor and an influential critic. But he ended his life impoverished and embittered, writing his own pornographic memoirs and even trying to set up a partnership with Aleister Crowley. Celia Toynbee tells his remarkable story, together with his biographer Philippa Pullar , Michael Holroyd , and those who knew him: Gerald Hamilton , and Enid Bagnold , whom Harris seduced in an upper room at the Cafe Royal.
