The Sunspot Mystery
Sunspots are mysterious magnetic blemishes on the surface of the sun, many times larger than the earth. They come and go in cycles which last 11 years. Scientists in Skylab have discovered that sunspots are directly related to the solar wind, which streams from the sun, bending and twisting the earth's magnetic field.
But physicists are now diving back into history to see if events on earth correlate with the sunspot cycle. What happened, for example, When there were no sunspots, during the time of Louis XIV? One correlation is clear - the present drought in the Western Plains of the USA is only one in a cycle which matches sunspot activity.
Could sunspots be affecting the dramatic global changes of climate that we are seeing now?

John Cheever
'I asked my son, who was then 19, if he would mind me dedicating the book to him, a book about drug addiction, incarceration, homosexuality and fratricide. He said " Not at all" and I was very pleased.'
JOHN CHEEVER'S latest book, Falconer, was a huge popular and critical success in the USA - it's a brilliant comic account of a university professor's experiences in prison. At his home near New York, Cheever talks to Robert Robinson about Falconer, about his own experience of confinement on a cure for his alcoholism, and about his life and writing; One doesn't write a novel saying this is about life and rebirth or about love and death. Novels are about men and women and children and dogs.'
