The realities of globalisation
In an article in today's Observer, one of the two French hostages, both journalists, recently freed in Iraq says: "I would like to tell my British friends in the profession to stay out of Iraq, it's not worth it. These guys will do a Google search on you, and then you will be killed. You are a walking target."
I'm reminded of Milan Kundera: "Unity of mankind means: No escape for anyone anywhere."

The Observer article re Radclyffe Hall sure did make me laugh! How times have changed. (Were there really more women than men in those days?)
Happy New Year to you Nat. All the best for 2005. Hope you achieve all that you set out to achieve this year!

Thanks very much, and to you too: that's a lovely new year's wish.
As for the numbers of women, I don't have any figures to hand, but I think WWI did produce a significant imbalance in Europe among people of "marriageable age" in the 1920s at least.
