Those taking part include President Jose Sarney and the Financial Times correspondent, Andrew Whitley.

Magic Circles
This month the history magazine comes from Stonehenee where Peter France introduces stories of astrology, astronomy and archaeology.
As the world waits for
Halley's Comet, a recently discovered diary written by a 17th-century merchant from Rye in Sussex reveals the feelings of a man caught up in a scientific revolution, when the new discipline of astronomy shouldered aside the age-old belief in astrology. Author Aubrey Burl , authority on stone circles, outlines new theories which suggest that the ancient peoples of Britain used the world's most famous circle as a lunar as well as a solar observatory.
And a look back at events earlier this year when
Stonehenge and the hill fort at Maiden Castle were at the centre of English Heritage's controversial plans to preserve our past. A controversy that still rages over who digs what and where, that has split the usually placid world of archaeology.
