The Last Great Race on Earth
The 1,200-mile Alaska Dog Sled Race from Anchorage to Nome Narrator IAN WOOLDRIDGE
This year the best dog mushers in Alaska raced the loneliest trail in the world-'The Iditarod . The distance is greater than from London to Rome: temperatures fall to
100 degrees below freezing, gale-force winds blow from the Arctic.
Competitors drive themselves ana their dogs day and night to average the 90 miles a day necessary to win. As the 56 mushers and 8UU huskies crossed the frozen wastes the question was: could
Rick Swenson become the first man to win twice?

A view of British art and design in the 1930s by William Feaver with Janet Adam Smith Sir James Richards James Fitton , RA
Pearl Binder, Charles Madge
Artists in the 30s were divided by passionate and conflicting ideals.
Ranged against the established artistic order devoted to portraying a green and pleasant England, was a new generation pursuing quite different ideals. For some these lay in abstraction. Others were committed to presenting a grim view of Britain, reflecting the Depression and the inevitability of war...
WILLIAM FEAVER is chairman of a major exhibition which opens next week at the Hayward Gallery. He looks not just at art and architecture but beyond them at how in the decade before the war cinemas, motor cars, publishing, journalism, advertising and broadcasting underwent a revolution.
