Simply there to be man-
ipulated. Hole in a
dolphin. 'Believed it was a

permanent arrangement.' 'It is
as it was.' Allegedly. (Holy spirit back
in the bottle.) Loosen him

up. On balance I would
say no. Across the globe this
clash was a symbol of the

enmity between the two. A single
show.

Blacker arts. Just
another
lapse. Fathers no

longer
required (where
they ever?). Chess match

that shook the
superpower. Bids to
reclaim

limelight. Was this
a shopping
list? Ruling could

overturn
it.

cci.
Done little
to curb
'resistance'. No

'martyr' he. Widely
seen
as the most

likely
casualty. Five
figure

exercise / fine
figure
exercise. Past, the

parcel (ticking?).

Toll. Mock-
scholarly
appearance

combats deaths
between. To
die from the

beginning. After
the end. Allowed
to be

photographed. Un-
attended. Close
to a

total. So ill as to
require
evacuation

from. Fund-
raisers. Numbers
of meetings. Who

took to the
streets? An all-
time record.

(Taken over
since.) Each day
since. Since

hostilities
began. Since
the start. Cost

of war (all
told). To US
citizens (un-

told). Among
other
countries

put up. Increase
in number of
runners. Percentage

drinkable. Drinkable
water. Not precision-
guided. A pair

of golden
spurs. Was
involved. Budget

surplus
became. In the
fiscal years. Biggest

in US his-
tory. Average amount
of share of

the debt. Filed in a
single year. Solo
pressed con-

ference. Rank
emissions. Total
sum. Campaign

so far. Expected
to raise. Amassed. Number
of days. Second

longest holiday
ever. Receives each
year. 'Only country

openly to
acknowledge
children.' In

modern his-
tory. Execute a
federal

prisoner. Typically
not. Number
of jobs. Number of

new jobs. The
real state. The
real

estate. The reel
estate. The first
since an overall

loss. Number of
worries. Workforce.
Without/in. Number

of countries. Percentage
of the world's
military

spending. Average
wealth. Captial
gains. Expected

to enjoy this
year as a
result. Median

income. Expected
to save. Will
mostly benefit

them. Number of
people from
around the

world. Ignoring
the convention by
refusing to

allow access. Percentage
change. Greater than one
the previous

spring. Was
elected. The
corporate

board. Our
advice. Suspended
military

'assistance'. Amount
cut so they can
heat. Offset the

'burden'. Number
of acres. Logging and
drilling. Attempted to

weaken. Percentage handling
his job. 'An on-
going and eternal

stream.' Toll. Tool.

Ousted
as titles
are sold. Any

of the
alter-
natives. The

deal
also cuts. 'It is
reassuring.'

Still
anger after
Brown

blocks
White. Ready for
an arduous

battle. That
state that
shapes

the future.

Declared over. Saved. Fake
website closed over dangerous
activities exposed by

us (i.e. the media). Hate crime. Played his
last game before this. A
lot of fun. One of the all-

time show-men. Gave details. 'The
continent of Europe.' Would im-
plant in her cells. The end

of a conference. Put a
station (of the cross?) on the moon. To
boldly go (explore?).

Woman is carrying
richest man
in the world. Why

young women
are turning. Ends his
career. First

cloned embryo
claims doctor. Censure
over body

armour. 'Delayed
procurement of vital
kit.' Announced

he is to
quit. We hate risks.

cxcvi.
Face-saving
army
of storm

chasers. Giant
inflatable
monkey. 'Just

as it was
over
video.' Turn

this
into
that. Bid

is
being. 'There
they will find

advice.'

Glory. Desert. New
fears of transport
chaos. As ever. Backing

bid. Double-decker. He
was nominated as the
best actor. Created to clean

up office. Detering
people from office.
Arrested and is

in. Fresh trade war.

Electro-shock
therapy underdoes
electro-shock

therapy. Life
and death
of a. Attracted the

wrath. Spend
millions. Ex-
aggerated

crisis. Super-
man mining
the high

street. Fell
from favour. Wowed
the world.

Babel finch. 'If
it reads, it
leads.' Blood

clots met-
aphor. Bank was
'spineless' in

its failure. Father
& son
on run. A hanging

in there.

cxcii.
In (At) the dock(s). Fashionable
it isn't. 'Shameless.' In
opposition. As Governer, was

ultimately responsible. It
lied. When it collapsed. 'On
its way to becoming the

financial equivalent of
the Titanic.' 'It ran an
open and honest

regime.' The outcome? The
accusation? The
meticulous details? The

unusual
charge.

Friday, January 16, 2004

cxci.
What
will not
be found? One

guess. Frown
hidden
in shadow. Bike

the track. Who
slew
the documents? Key-

board or
key board
meeting.

Looking
for invasion
excuse

from
way back. The
thinness

is no
justification.
Battered

and broiled.
Survey and
conquer.

Trust Daddy. The
morning after. 'Diana
syndrome: we get the

conspiracies we
deserve.' He is in it for
the viewers. 'Press' as

ultimatum. 'Quote'
as joke. Investigations
purge the wit. The

cheapness
thrives.

clxxxviii.
Secret state. Firm rebels. Never
seen them before. Boxed in
at mime festival. Revolt puts

leadership out. 'An accodation address
run by a completely different
firm.' How to build furniture. 'I

wonder if I could make a case?'
Nine futher deaths. A further nine
cases. Cleared of involvement. A further

14. Is on course to suffer then.

Flight
to America. Collect
the six. Orc-

hestrated attacks
raise fears. Sorry
for

articles. More
than at the same
period. Forced to

suspend. Launched a
remarkable
defence

against.

Global warning on
global warming. One
of the six

richest plant
regions
in the world. Forest

dragon. Did he
lie? Most forthright,
grumpy, supple. A

quarter
of known.

clxxxv.
MoD 'corrects'
witness. Again. Talked
out

of town. Outcast
bounces back. A real
money-

spinner. Spidercrab. Hitch in
plan. Mars looks dull. Two-
speed looks

inevitable. In
'flagrant' breech
of law, fragrant

beach
of lore. 'We must
listen more.'

Friday, January 09, 2004

clxxxiv.
'I'll
take Britain.' Six
years on. Cheeky

monsters. No
less known. 'I
don't think

he'll buy
a target
date.' In-

siders said
there is no
row. A euro

entry. In May. In
date.

'Comedy is invariably
an ambush.' So is this.
It will lead an investi-

gation into death. Announcing its
decision to call in, to phone
in, it is aware that there is

speculation - sad, but relatively
straightforward. It agreed to
stand down and to suggest. At the

opening yesterday of its
'destiny'.

Wednesday, January 07, 2004

clxxxii.
Threat grows. Terror
travel turmoil takes arms.
Jeopardised by

deployment. Criticised
by right. 'Notorious' special reg-
istration programme. No

less. Shot after
chase. Led task force. Another
day, another

doom. Holy
war. Furious
that he did not. A cynical

deal.

Tuesday, January 06, 2004

clxxxi.
Artistic phenomenon
closely linked. The
general

well-being. Celebrate
by fetishizing
it. Consumer

society
gone wild. Stress the
dialectic. Cans, ham-

burgers, ad-
vertisements into
an art.

Monday, January 05, 2004

clxxx.
Terror puzzle. Got
his big
idea. Rebranding

Bush. That
final push. Legal
spook. Cute and

kinky. Fact, fantasy and
power. 'It's Leeds I
feel sorry

for.' Swimming
obsession, we
suggest.

Sunday, January 04, 2004

clxxix.
Being Hollywood
royally. Calls
listeners

'bastards'. Leapt
in front. Another
radical re-

form. The first
commerical
flight for two

years.

Saturday, January 03, 2004

clxxviii.
A nation
of cops. A
notion

for fops. Sub-
urban drivers
to toll

faces. Remain
in school. Big
high art. Dance

of dearth.
