clxxvii.
Among the dead. Clash
over plans. Cash over
palms. 'Lost' cancer

drugs. Sky
marshals. The
veteran

comedian. Attempting
to bar from
power. Panic. Car

ambushed. 'A year
of modest
gains.' Dull and

cold and
bright.

clxxvi.
Irony doesn't
fit. 'We fallow
Americans.' Planes

are to carry
guards. 'Among
men.' Snug

glove. De-
ployed after
aggravating.

Bury. 'Cold,
calculating'
'white

vigilantes'. The
International
style.

clxxv.
Official shocking
scale. A father. Most
distressing year of

his life. Keeps on
climbing. Broken it
already. Typical shot

visited upon. Soaps
turn healthy; descent into
lazy lifestyles. Build

small bursts
into day.

clxxiv.
'At a pace
of Iraq's
choosing.'

Support
without
sanctions.

Food giant
faces extract
from

unfinished. An
artist's
impression. Look

back at
war. Title
chase. Fell in

love. Mourning
a
relative. Take on

the world. Silence
from Mars. The
earth shook, the

event, the
medieval
fortress. 'There

is nothing but.'

clxxiii.
Will
return
to will: politics

and
paparazzi paying
attention, then

'showing
off' the
bodies. All

areas will
be scattered. A
rate not

surpassed. Kept
up the spirits
of the other

captives plagued
by
hoaxer. Worse

year ever
for viruses
and worms. 'It's

like this.'

clxxii.
'I can
tell you.' Who saw
the documents. I

want
to reduce. 'The
claims

have a
pathetic tone.' Rich
and

comical.

clxxi.
Sport got
militant. Out
for eight

months. Dark
side. Festive
short. Secret

negotiations.
Failure to
comply. Boosted

today.

clxx.
Is
the search
over? In

the studio. Hurt
no longer. No
disorders. Data

protection. For
the first
time. Government

rewrote its
definition
of low

income. Rain
moving
into.

clxix.
Not just 'an
obscene
theatre'. A

bird, a
horse's head, a
half-man, half-

lion. Proof
of an
explosion. 'Talk

or we
go.' Beat New
York. 'Who did

we love
most?' A fraction
of the hype. 73%

of the universe
is dark
energy. Kind of

gravity
in reverse. A
systematic

confirmation of
observation. 'It
is queerer than

we can
suppose.' So-
called dark

matter. Theory
that takes us
closer to

the 'bedrock'. A
diving
waterfowl.

clxiii.
Insurgent protesters.
Flame. Fame. Reveals
armed guard. 'Appalling

image.' School
tables. Supported
an overwhelming

vote. Collapse of
weekend
talks. Intensified

yesterday's
smear.

clxii.
Danger signs
were there. Wright
flight fails. The

cynical methods snare a new
generation. Fears
over blood. Lose

lavish
perks. Two re-
views, O

green eyes....

clxi.
Solves your
Christmas. Legendary
diarist. 'What

happens
next?' Fair and
independent. Develop

ways. Let
them pick. Plot
revenge. Hide

signs. Consider
whether. Find
poses

a challenge. A
bomb
expert. Virtually

every.

clx.
Chic Christmas.
Moved from the
margins. War

backs down. Tax-
cutting basis. 'If
you can open

the door you're
in.' Owners pay
extra. An acrimonious

summit.

clix.
'We
got him.' (Cheers.)
Give up

the ghost. New
fiction. 'Not heard
the last

of me.' Roles,
romance and
what I think.

clviii.
Will she
run? Have fun? A
scrum on

the streets, a
line-out at
the Palace and

a day. Left a free
man. Could not
be liable. 'Were free but

far from
fair.' What it
describes.

clvii.
Representative
on earth. Wines
& Books. Good bad

sex junkie. Virtual
spiritualism. To
hell with it

all. Miss World
Hit Show. Huge
defence

cuts. Despite
future. Relative
option. 'There is

great interest.' Said
last night
here. Potential customers are

deluged.

clvi.
River triggers
row. Flout arms
codes. View

of
Saturn. Reading her course
notes. Unique

food. Losing
it in the
kitchen. Her eyes

were open.

clv.
A
veritable
age. Too

sexy for
the end. 'Did
they both?' Won

the round. May
be axed. Mobile
ban. Geneva

accord.

cliv.
A contender? Pah! A
power pout. Decided to
give. Go top. Attacks

seen as. Tactics
change. Claims to jeopardise any
terror trial. Provide

the latest
drugs. Delayed publishing
plans. Alliance swung into

top gear. Burnt-out
vehicle
cleared.

cliii.
Momentous
occasion! Confession as
aphrodisiac. 'Give

one minute of
your life.' Final
bid

to buy off
rebels. Obtained
under duress. 'I

listened and I
didn't believe.' White
House wants

to stage
quick and
successful

trials. Plot
to get
a drone. May

be
imminent.

clii.
Free
inside. General
to investigate.

Mushroom
on sale. Tea and
empathy.

Stories
will appear. The
'correct' way

to behave.

cli.
Pope non-
mobile. Gaining
as count

goes on. Playing
nice is
hard. Art of

memory. Plot
fear as man
held. Instant

flies. Charity
silenced. A
new

era
of change? Directed
at

children.
