The John Player League featuring
Northamptonshire v Sussex
The Northamptonshire team has been rebuilt with the emphasis on youth. WAYNE LARKINS and PETER WILLEY have already played for England, and RICHARD WILLIAMS is an excellent prospect.
For Sussex, KEPLER WESSELS and PAUL PARKER are prolific run-makers, and IMRAN KHAN is an excellent all-rounder. The inclusion of GARTH LE ROUX must make this season's attack very hostile indeed. Introduced by Peter Walker , including news of today's other fixtures.

Narrated by Michael Caine
Los Angeles is one of the richest cities on earth and for the past 20 years it's been spending a lot of its money on art, thereby knocking a big hole in its reputation as a city bereft of the traditional arts.
The most dramatic symbol of the city's new-found enthusiasm for art is the Getty Museum, the collection of oil billionaire J. Paul Getty. It's an amazing Roman villa of a place on the shores of the Pacific, with a rich hoard of old master paintings, antiquities and French furniture.
The film also looks at the Huntington, the collection of a railway baron with a taste for Gainsboroughs; it meets Armand Hammer, another oil tycoon, friend of Lenin, negotiator with Brezhnev, collector of Rembrandts; visits the new County Museum, as it buys its way into the big league of America's national collections, and slides past the swimming pools and Henry Moores of Beverly Hills to penetrate the private world of Los Angeles' art-collecting addicts.

' In my view the so-called " Day of Action" is profoundly misconceived.'
(JIM PRIOR,
Employment Secretary)
Peter Hobday reports on the forthcoming TUC 'Day of Action' next Wednesday. Called in protest against the Government's economic policies and the Employment Bill, it is expected to be the biggest demonstration by the unions since 1926, paralysing much of British industry and the public transport system.
The Money Programme reports in detail on why it has been called and how effective the union mass demonstration - which many are comparing to a general strike-will be.
