train. Stay

married belly
up. Lack
of interest

'a bit
dated'.

'He was playing
the status
quo.' Through the world's

shown waiting
over. Hearts already

broken. Ordered release
by cleric. 'Hello, good
morning, goodbye.'

speaking
in circles.' Spectacular
openings. The

hardest substances.

to see. A political
odyssey yet another

whitewash. Sponsor and
fund son's son. The
shallowness of

respectability. Follow him
into the law. 'Just frankly
provocative.' 'A comment

on a domestic
situation?' Doubtful, he
says.

ccclxx.

routed. Making
a champion. Urged

to leave (and then) struck
black gold. Punishing

'I keep thinking of points
to score.' 'How frightened
are you?' 'A light light beach

of progression.' Remember

for, but all eyes turn. 'She is

very bright and they are very
silly.' Revolt over female
promotion ebbs. Chief is

dismissed. 'May educate
children eventually.'

ccclxiv.
Intelligence that needed to be
acted upon immediately. Media
attention span unaltered. Spurns

candy. Shoppers caught in down-
pour, safe amid bloodletting. Hands
up, give me the sweets, says a boy

with a shotgun. Banks hint at further
interest. 'You don't seem to be very mature.'
Tears and tributes attend his

fate. 'We will look into it.'

ccclxiii.
Lift coincides
with setback. Close-up
right up

nose. A four-
year informs.
It opens for

business again. Again
crashes down. 'Rewrites'
the history

of wine. Minister refuses
to say
what it means. It lies

in the pip.

best & the worst entertains
family. Profession will
lose status. Quits as

affair. Fire strike threat.
Whistleblower to sue. Water
top seller. Switching off

genes.

ccclx.
Zigzag hierarchical
song. 'It's striking, it's
modern, it's

a tribute to
a great.' Any
ideas? Pope warns

feminists he has
'no other
vocation'. Psalm-

as Pound. 'Oak and
heartwood resonated

with everyone.'

Habitats
in chalk fathom
the depth. Laughed

as they
beat. Ultrasonic
warning calls a sound

instinct. 'He's rich. He's
slick. He's
self-centred.' A family

holidays. Nix six
wholesale: a frontier
too far.

record. Stripped of veto
powers into. Modified

athletes could be
bad. Astonishing
on the brink. Menu for

outings.

say ever. 'I even
pretended.' Old man represents
last images

of Che
Guevara. 'People
told me to quit.' Death

penalty meant. Own
your own
smell.

spinning. 'A nation

transformed.' A string
of failures. Bigger
cloud. Star made

on the road. Denies

to blame?' Found

wanting 'at
first light'.

'He had crossed his
Rubicon.' 'The
system was blinking.' The rise

of a star before
sunset. Still alive, still
kicking. History

of crime. 'Something very,
very big.' A shock of
'drumbeats'. Primarily one

of imagination.

ccclii.
Fiery chief's huge time
commitment. Truth-crime.
New figure's surreal journey

without maps. Other studies have
found that when. Temple
of jazz. Error in tactics

over. Named as new. No
respite as intelligence
reopens inquiry. A knack

for monsters.
