'In the old days, newspapers were managed at a loss, if necessary, to preach what their proprietors regarded as the fundamental truth; more recently they can only preach what their proprietors regard as the fundamental truth if they're showing a profit. Rupert Murdoch 's main concern was in showing the profit rather than in being the prophet.'
Stephen Koss , Professor of History at Columbia University, who has just published Volume 2 of The Rise and Fall of the Political Press in Britain, in conversation with Ian Hargreaves.

A musical portrait of his time
THE CONSORT OF MUSICKE directed by ANTHONY ROOLEY (lute) (Given during the celebrations in Middleham, Yorkshire, of the 500th anniversary of the accession to the throne of King Richard III)

by Manny Draycott
with Tim Pigott-Smith as Michael, Susan Wooldridge as Eleanor, Alan Rickman as Anthony, Maxine Audley as Michael's mother

Eleanor feels caught between two very different cultural backgrounds. Although English, she spent a happy, European-style childhood in Corsica and has never really settled in England since her return. Her impending marriage into the upper middle-classes brings her to a real crisis of identity as she observes their very different attitudes towards elitism and violence in society.
