cl.
The words
hurt. In
this.

cxlix.
Nobody in the least cares or is
surprised. On the road. The turkey has
landed. Declaring the end of major

combat. Feverish speculation on his
health. Will be dry but there will
be rain. The dollar slumped. They may

pull out. Twice as likely. The factory
farming. No. No. No. No. Abandoned
a plan to bury the entire stock.

cxlviii.
Jury
is told. Fresh boost
to sector. Invent ways

to
discuss. Pushing some
measures. Face revolt

on two
fronts. There are
new rights. A bitchy

night. Probe
into
funds. Landscape

threatened. The
national
veto. Stopped

outside.

cxlvii.
Velvet
coup. Flash
of solar

darkness. Show
of
unity. On

offensive.
Feel-
good spree.

Cut clothes. Red
deer cull. 'Should
die'. The

total
number.

cxlvi.
Art world's
smoothest
man. Life will

never. Bloodless
revolution. A
rare

moment of
national
pride. To be

announced. Its
entire
committee

resigned. Rained.

Tuesday, November 25, 2003

cxlv.
Was published as
police. All
are

understood. Bank
on rain. Choose out-
rages. Someone's

sleep is inter-
rupted. Devils
of us

all.

cxliv.
The Big
Eye. Beat
it. Where was

the Texan? Free
speech on
trial. Ditching

views. Its
covert
level. Deal

with it.

Sunday, November 23, 2003

cxliii.
Gated co-
mmunity ju-
bilee. The

Dragon
roars. The
great

escape. 16
thousand police
officers. A lone

protester. Sniper. The
Old Bailey
was told.

'Of course,
when you are
moving

at warp speed
there isn't
a lot

of time
to think
about

what
you've heard.'
Another briefcase. Eye

on the pulse. Ally
in poll
threat. But

this is. First
step to put. New
face. 'Do

companies really
care?' Nothing
is repeated.

cxli.
How the great went
stale. Illness, de-
pression, perfection and

fame. May switch to
Tory. Shopping ex-
travaganza. Public

humiliation. Apology and
costs. Only
England

expects.

Tuesday, November 18, 2003

cxl.
A two-
man killing
machine. Number

one drug-
maker. Gales
or severe

gales. Meet
the white
soul. Fear and

loathing life-
style. Explosion
in body. May

be allowed
to stay. 'They
think it

worth it.' Whistleblower
charged. Radically
altered every

aspect.

cxxxix.
Coteries of gay
courtiers. A
cover-

up. A
Catholic
state. Real

damage, fence
damage. Scrambles
for new

approach. She
was delighted.

Sunday, November 16, 2003

cxxxviii.
'Invite others in-
to
meaning.' I

believe
all toddlers. Cuts
rainforest

funding. ID
cards in
four years.

Saturday, November 15, 2003

cxxxvii.
'Money has
an enormous
voice.' Here

comes
trouble. Pupils re-
design

school. The day
they
disappeared. Record

as a
minister. A
car bomb

devastated. You
say. We
suggest. Dis-

mantling
deal
is

broken.

Friday, November 14, 2003

cxxxvi.
Complete weekend. Job
offer widens
rift. Royal mirror stories

leak. Exit. He denied
any
rift. He had lost

his
enthusiasm. To celebrate we invited
our top.

Wednesday, November 12, 2003

cxxxv.
News that
stays. Ultimate
insult. Without

the dust
jacket. Women
who really

serve tea. Spitting
is still. I
was there. Poor

weather
could
curtail. Risks

jail for not
naming. Failing
drug test. He said

he wanted. Nano-
tubes, nano-
particles, nano-

moment.

Tuesday, November 11, 2003

cxxxiv.
Can you
remember
what it was

about? Brown
anger at
blocking

move. Sur-
prisingly
arbitrary.

Dialogue is
cliched. PM
always appoints

one woman.

cxxxiii.
Problem putting food
on the table. What does this
man do

for a living? Defiant despite
deadliest strike. Con-
secration splits church, takes

pulse. The film that
never was. Hits new
heights. Claimed progress in.

Sunday, November 09, 2003

cxxxii.
Where the railways went
wrong. Twenty years of
modern art. Spy on and

photograph
activists. On chats
with the boss. Search

for a way
to take over
Google. The rise and

decline. Don't
lose
your head.

Friday, November 07, 2003

cxxxi.
Wreck on the
road. It doesn't
have to be

so far. Mirror
image. Something
of tonight

about him. Fierce
rebuke exposes
rift between. On

the verge.

cxxx.
I will lead. May yet
issue. The one
fears. Greeted

with cheers. He now believes
the injection
is safe. Fed dairy

products. Send more
tourists to
Europe.

Wednesday, November 05, 2003

cxxix.
Exit
the man. Stage
is set. Movers and

shakers. Best foot
forward. Chin
up. Head down....

'A new dark age.'
Bred in misery.
Denied he had

quit. Brings
the number.

Tuesday, November 04, 2003

cxxviii.
All the cruel
festivity of
an execution

crowd. Allies fear
humiliation. A wet
start. Economic re-

bound. Tighten Iraqi
border. An attempt
to resolve

a dispute. Crackdown
during dawn raids.
He

is grooming his
favourite.

Sunday, November 02, 2003

cxxvii.
48-hour ultimatum.
Reneages on pledge. Rebels.
Standing by in his

decision. Shifts
nuclear line: first strikes
against 'rogue

states'. All targets in
a violent day
of resistance.

Saturday, November 01, 2003

cxxvi.
Survives hotel rocket
attack. 'Never was up
to the job.' Mothers lose

right to breastfeed
at work. Shady recuits
plunder wealth. Convinced

450 women to
disrobe. 450 women
lie stationary.
