The rise and fall of repetitive rhythms is one of the hallmarks of American composer Philip Glass's music. The English
National Opera's production of his Egyptian opera Akhnaten was a huge success. For some, though, the music is a totally numbing experience. In the week he returns to London for a concert of his music, the composer talks to
Michael Berkeley about the dramatic shape which underpins his work and about some of his latest projects.

But Which Way to Go?
Britain's fashion industry has a split personality. Glittering catwalks contrast with factories employing some of the country's lowest-paid workers. The classy 'cashmere and tweeds' English style is popular abroad, yet the British are among the world's least stylish dressers. Britain's innovative designers are internationally acclaimed, but foreign buyers complain of shoddy workmanship and late deliveries. With the crucial autumn collections approaching, can the industry resolve these contradictions? Francine Stock finds out. Producer HEATHER PAYTON
