Woman shown
dying. 'Satan exists
as a personal, mal-
evolent being who acts
as tempter
and accuser.' Covenant
Eyes. Came
to. Moves
money. It does so in
plain view.

A home close. A
final say. So. Likely
to hold. On. Issue
be put. 'Conducted
a masterclass.' 'Damaged
his faith.' Ready
to ratify
climate. On
the cards. Europe
is mocked. Rage
until.

Oil giant. Savaged in
report. Unspectacular down-
fall. Silver dream machine
overstates its
reserves, admits
deceiving. City reacted
with astonishment,
with crisis-
stricken details
on its face.

Inappropriate, and
tactless, military
metaphor. And
action. And
subterfuge. U-
turn under all.
Analysis expected.
Service leader. The
change of heart
comes.

Neglected
work. Freed. Coming
home. Playing
away. Why she's
glad. Shell
out. Clam up. Pope
says 'terrorism'. Not saying
more to combat. 'I want
to hit him.' Gun down. Deadline
passes. The real
threat. Personality
clash. Genetic links
between. Vets
prepare
for onslaught.

Blankly destroys
everything. Tax the
recidivists. 'I hope I can feel
a bit
safer.' Taxi
motion. Artful
chaos. Cruise saves
Britain. More seized. British air
emergency. More remedial lessons in
the Bible.

Increasingly seen as
credible. Site
turfed. Funeral
for an ambush. 'We
have to fight, to a
safe haven.' Beloved
enemy. 'Eveything you need
to know.' Extended
stay
abroad.

Chaos. Just
war. Loyal to
a warlord. Renewing
fears. Wrongfooting many
analysts. Won his
fight. The newest
novel. Dramatic footage
showing signs
of failure. Beware, it
says, the
spinner spurned.

Oddvertising
breaks through. One
years ago. Fly
in square. 'I never thought
it would end
happily.' It has never exactly
been safe. Return
in search
for exit
strategy.

Dream strike turns
secretly moved. Blue
chip. Jet set. Retreats
and buying
abroad. Extensive
interrogation. Bounce
back
with the new. Appear in
an advert. Folied. Can
be bought
online for
a few.

Three-hour gun. Perfect
spring chicken. 'They cannot fight
another community.' Gambling
that other militias will fall
into step. All the action from a memorable
weekend. A fake sense of
Hollywood history. Massaging
the tube. Must 'quicken' pace. Enters
new era of
prohibition
without incident.

Final journey for
last relic. Plug-in city
uncoils. Crowds show their
delight. Three punters among
70,000 after a
triumph. 'I lived the
Cold War.' Free to play. Accept
that crops will never be grown
in Britain. 'I have dozens more
damaging emails.' Shoot
out.

It can now see off its
enemies. Top tips. Gurus who claim
to 'cure'. Right-handed man
at the right
time. Tighten British
victims. Foil new bomb. A
fresh attempt. The most
gifted of his generation. Who? 'We
asked the biggest
stars.' Chairmanship and
stake.
Sunday, April 11, 2004

Piling on
pounds piles on
pressure. One-sided, dirty
war. Do a half-assed
job of sorting out
the chaos. 'I am confident I
have acted at all times.'
'She has shown a great
deal.' This (again) is the worst
day.

Year of paper. Whistleblower
speaks. Reigns and plunges.
Rides again through its controversial
career. Dough! Network out
of control, say MPs. A
vegetarian who doesn't drink.
A most gratifying ale.
It's our fault we have lost.
She blames 'over-zealous' staff
for waving.

'We will not turn back
from our effort.' 'Are you shamed
by your mistakes
in English?' Every week,
it is like
this. A much
smoother operator.
Puts damper on
flame. Strikes would not do
much good.'

Cut from
the same
cloth. Whispering
campaign. In her
own fashion.
Lived up
to their
wild
reputations. Only
'an assessment
that you
may be making'.

The target was?
Minimalist apart
ments. The net
closed. Crop of
politically aware
and active
kids. Over-the-top
fees. 'Why not write
for children?' Something
of a fresh.

5,000mph. 'More than just
a rude song.' Messy desks
'harm health'. Another enemy
of God should force
bribes. Race ends in
acrimony. Alimony. A
controversial
win. Row. 'Plunged'
yet again. 'I don't know if
the attorney general will have
the courage to do
it.'

Stupid big balloon. Watery
grave. Inquiry augers anger.
Aide in row over. Future
guide. Things get worse.
'Has it all ... the entourage,
the film ... oh, and
the voice.' His lost
years. His true
story. 'He's not likely to surround
himself with yes
men.'
