PERHAPS because tourists have been a little thinner on the ground of late, the Wedgwood blue and pastel shaded hotels that look onto Riva del Garda's harbour have courted the conference trade to take up the slack.
At least, that's how it seemed to judge by the boards at hotel entrances, greeting this association, that institution, or some learned society.

HERCULANEUM -- PAST AND FUTURE by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill (Frances Lincoln, Pounds 40) ARCHAEOLOGIST, classical scholar and historian with a deft touch, Wallace-Hadrill writes of Herculaneum as an historic site on which work is still in progress as we read, yet we have the sense that this once buried past is still alive with the residents who peopled it until smothered by the deposits of Vesuvius. Less extensive than neighbouring Pompeii -- to whose Soho and London stews it was a Chiswick or a Wimbledon -- and now in far better condition as a ruin to be visited, it is easier to understand as a relic of Roman life comfortably supported by slavery. This account of the pyroclastic surges that destroyed it, the several excavations that have uncovered it so far, and the interpretations and re...

The smell of burning flesh is an oddly pleasing aroma - and it's one that has been wafting across the region in the last few weeks. Driving through the West Country on a fine warm evening recently I enjoyed savoury, smoky scents in village after village.
Those alluring, appetising aromas spoke of one word: barbecue.

QUESTION I recall vividly, as a 12-year-old, seeing the Hindenburg airship pass low over Keighley, Yorkshire, where it was said to have dropped a wreath. What was the significance of this? LZ 129 Hindenburg and LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II were the largest aircraft ever built. At 245m (804ft) long and 41m (135ft) in diameter, the Hindenburg was longer than three Boeing 747s placed end-to-end and only 24m (79ft) shorter than the Titanic.
Four reversible 890 kW (1,200 horsepower) Daimler-Benz diesel engines gave the ship a maximum speed of 135 km/h (84 mph).

The hardest part of Megrahi decision is to be a good man in a bad time
IN POLITICS, there is no higher calling than to be a good man in a bad time and, on a number of fronts as Justice Secretary, no-one can say Kenny MacAskill has not tried to be one. It is to the credit of the government and the country that he does so, not least in respect of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi.
