cxxv.
Enter-
tainment. Glossy
death delicious.

How to be
bold. Partner in
poetry. Time machine's

final trip leaves
sky empty. Vent fury
at. Tough new

measures.
Cite. Site
specific.

cxxiv.
Assemblage line. I
want
that house. History

on hold. First
sight
of baby. A re-

covering. Blunt
hurls fresh. Fell
last year. Carve

out
as liberal. More intrusive
checks.

Wednesday, October 29, 2003

cxxiii.
Time to stop
chasing. Signal war
is over. Euro-coffee

offers to quit.
Chill is
upon us. Overshooting.

May have been there
for months. Lose best
art. Deal saves peace.

Tuesday, October 28, 2003

cxxii.
Bush bash Bosch.
Labour pained. Story-
tellers. Limbs

numbed. Heart scare.
Tearful audience
comes down. The

ultimate price of
artistic creation.
Rush. Rush. Rush.

cxxi.
Favourite
season: War. Plot
to ditch

by time. Nothing
else matters more
than that. Nothing.

Adventures
in the crack
trade. Stun guns. Patrol

cars. Secret
love for
toy.

Wednesday, October 22, 2003

cxx.
Proven: dangers
that may
halt. Fewer

seeds for
wildlife
to eat. A

frosty start. The
biggest banks
were savaged.

Tuesday, October 21, 2003

cxix.
Accused
after
accusing US. Tale

of two
continents. At war. Captain
feared

by the world. Scandal
shakes
sport (again). Threatened

with sack and
faulted for
shortcomings. A

rodent
has a key
role.

Monday, October 20, 2003

cxviii.
A raw gash. In
just 21
days. Hollywood

villain, farewell.
A little fatherly
advice. Church heads

for schism. Crops
force ban. Revealed
the findings. To

blame. The second
coming could
occur.

Sunday, October 19, 2003

cxvii.
Greeted by
a 'sun'
hovering

in one
of 10
theatrical

fogs. Feared
dead. In
space at

last. Seeing
the party
prosper. Giant

retreats
from Europe.
Murdoch said

he would
never retire
yesterday. His

post because
of his failing
health. Made his way

towards.

cxvi.
Your
poetry
sucks. A

skirmish
of wits. Most
catastrophic.

'Cowards in
the shadows.' 'I will
be

exonerated.'
Prepare
for winter.

Friday, October 17, 2003

cxv.
Human rights
campaigners de-
nounced as

rigged. Hopes of a
rebound. A fightback.
Amid one of its worst

crises. Why are we
so fascinated
by twins? 'Tried

to lie.' Does this
secret plan
provide?

Thursday, October 16, 2003

cxiv.
A car burns
outside. Summit
cancelled. Should

go to
Eton too. Are
separated. Will

spread in. Begins
to talk. Talks to
begin. Will nurse

partner. 'Dirty
bomb will
happen.'

Wednesday, October 15, 2003

cxiii.
The night
punk died. Best
deals, best

place for you
and your. Despite
rare slip, slips

through. Flow in crop
trials destroys
government. Gentler

approach. Job
done, just about.

Tuesday, October 14, 2003

cxii.
Self-serving dis-
appointment. Sad. (Wired
nights. Heady days.) Moves

one step
closer. First mass-
marketed male

pin-up. Un-
masked: the murky
past. Hark! that fabled

Utopia....

Monday, October 13, 2003

cxi.
On movie
violence. Inside
story. Toll

of soaring
arms trade. Death
of one

person every
minute. Unlikely
star

of a French
documentary.
Rebellion on gay

bishop. Tightly controlled and
censored.

Sunday, October 12, 2003

cx.
This
secondary
form. Wins time

with aggressive
speech. 'I love
being

a woman.' End
of the pier
performer. Finds

a new
left-winger. Bouquet
came

with brickbat.
'Don't clap
too hard.' A

ripping
off.

Saturday, October 11, 2003

cix.
I split the party. New
strikers. No
feminity. Sexing up

Madame Bovary. 'Men
in grey suits.' Quashed
evidence. Failed

to reach a key
target. Triples its
military. Quits after using

his influence.

Friday, October 10, 2003

cviii.
War against its
citizens. Now starts
at three. 'Shattered'

after losing. The
test tube. Merger
verdict today.

Revelation casts
doubt on find. Why
not be?

Thursday, October 09, 2003

cvii.
Oh, I do like to be
beside the sea-side. Quit
over faked. I'm

not saying there are not
any plots. 'We are
going to win.' Refuses

to take test. Amos
to lead. Development
of medical

imaging. Routine
diagnostic aid
argued in public.

Wednesday, October 08, 2003

cvi.
Dead Peasants
Insurance. All
the teams, all

the players. Blast
revenge. Fights
for life amid.

Ministers round
on him. A racing
certainty.

Tuesday, October 07, 2003

cv.
Most challenging role
yet. Aide lashes private
schools. Sharpest writing

on. A brilliant
interview. Among victims
on eve. Family will not

weep. Fear they are
losing control. Still likes
his caravans.

Monday, October 06, 2003

civ.
Ruled by chance. Book on
how to make the world
a better place. Plans for

sheriffs. Reported on
fall. Admits he is unable
to do. As eco-

friendly, we're aiming
to recycle this
next year. First known

admission from
within.

Sunday, October 05, 2003

ciii.
Has the capability
to make. So what?
Child free centres.

Arrested over
five. Dead flag. Dry
efforts fail. Defence

deal. Ignored
the road. Whether the
threat

was intimate or
long term.

Saturday, October 04, 2003

cii.
I'm proud of what
we've done. All
the action. Lesson

in obfuscation. Do
the honourable
thing. Removal

centre. Mission to
Moon. Why I don't
want to be funny

any more.

Friday, October 03, 2003

ci.
Faces crisis as
cost of conflict
equals. Three

out of five. Pleaded
to be sentenced
to death. Cashed in

on a shortage
of kidneys. Launched
a fresh wave. Tube

train delayed: vasectomy
blamed.
