A Quieter Sort of Revolution
Until the onset of the debt crisis in 1982, Mexico was hailed as a Latin American success story. Since then, growth has proved elusive and economic recession has brought in its wake demands for the liberalisation of Mexico's monolithic political system. In response, the Mexican government has launched a major programme of economic restructuring.
But can the reforms last and what are the implications for Mexico's 59-year history of government by the Institutional Revolutionary Party?

4: Hugh Mcllvanney - award-winning sports journalist of the Observer.
'Sport', he says, 'is a wonderful metaphor for the great issues of life, but it isn't one of them.' Reflective, combative, humorous, acerbic, he is, above all, renowned for the detailed elegance of his style and a sustained capacity for original insight. Bom in Kilmarnock, and much-travelled around the globe, he has formed a special attachment to the contrasting thrills of boxing and racing.
After a lifetime spent observing the world of sport and the vicarious heroism it bestows upon individuals, are there enduring heroes that he cherishes?

A Common Language? Four of the world's most distinguished writers, Joseph Brodsky , Seamus Heaney ,
Les Murray and Derek Walcott , were among many well-known authors from all over the world who gathered for a conference on 'Literature as Celebration' in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin, last week.
All four are poets who write in English, though none is British - Heaney's an Irishman, Murray Australian, Walcott St Lucian and Brodsky, born in Russia, now lives in America. Together they discuss with Michael Schmidt their impulse to write poetry, their feelings for the English language and topics raised at the conference. Producer JULIAN MAY
