"Lives will be lost if we go on doing what we're doing," he said in an interview with The Independent on Sunday. And the man who is now Prime Minister blocked funding for soldiers during the 10 years he was Chancellor, he said. "Blair found it difficult to deliver Brown in the Treasury," insisted Lord Guthrie, who was Chief of Defence Staff from 1997 to 2001.

The top 300 bosses in the state sector saw their salaries increase 12.8% last year, boosting their pay to an average £237,564, according to a public sector “rich list”. Seventeen earned more than £500,000 per year.

There is much coverage of the Meredith Murder,the same paper reports

Meredith Kercher murder may have been premeditated

Sometime after 8.30pm on November 1 the full horror of her predicament must have hit home for Meredith Kercher.
The 21-year-old British student was far from her loved ones, in a room at a cottage in Perugia, northern Italy. A knife was at her throat. Someone was forcing her face into the floor, or possibly against the wall. Someone was trying to violate her.
The knife cut her, then cut her again. A third stab left her bleeding heavily. Blood became smeared two metres up the wall. Severing the carotid artery in the neck usually causes very rapid death, but the knife had missed that blood vessel. and adds

But investigators believe all three participated in a murder that was far more brutal and sordid than previously reported. They are also investigating whether it was premeditated. A shop assistant from Rome claims to have received by accident a text message two days before the murder saying: “As far as I am concerned tomorrow or this evening Meredith dies.” Forensic evidence also suggests that a fourth man may have been involved.

MEREDITH COPS TRAIL SUSPECT No4 is the Sunday Mirror's lead

A fourth suspect in the gruesome Meredith Kercher murder was last night being tracked across Europe - after he was caught on CCTV leaving the scene of the crime.
Italian police have seized footage from a camera in a car park overlooking the British student's home.

Mailer, giant of American literature, dies at 84

Mailer, a giant of American literature and one of the English language's greatest writers, died of renal failure yesterday in a New York hospital bed. He was 84. A few months earlier he had had an operation on his lungs to remove scar tissue. says the Observer

The Independent reports that

The vanishing of the voice of Mailer will leave an unfamiliar quiet in the American intellectual echo-chamber. Whether it was women's lib (he did not much like it), the Vietnam War, the decline of the written word as entertainment, the tyranny of technology or the latest news from professional boxing, Mailer always had an opinion to share.
Sports fan, essayist, journalist, critic, poet, putative politician, movie-maker and all-around social provocateur, Mailer was a prolific as he was pugnacious. He wrote 40 novels, including The Armies of the Night (1968), about the anti-Vietnam march on the Pentagon, and The Executioner's Song, a sweeping account of the life and death before firing squad of Gary Gilmore, each of which earned him Pulitzer Prizes.
