(nr.66) Scientific & Medical Network - in the "Gaia" spirit, it attracted a lot of bright people and good ideas, but has become controversial. Perhaps we have grown older and wiser, more sceptical. Lookig back ...
From the "Wider Horizons" first published in 1999 (ed. David Lorimer, Chris Clarke, John Cosh, Max Payne and Alan Mayne) :

George Blaker: "We took the view that the Churches could not bring about this change, .... they were immovably shackled to a fixed past ....
... 20 years later we might have thought that instead of Churches perhaps the football or tennis or film stars or pop musicians ... might have done it.
... But in the conditions of 1973 we thought that scientists and doctors would be a better bet!"

Among the founders of the Network are Polish Priest Andrew Glazewski and Arthur Koestler.

(nr. 62 ) RED: cross, line, diamond... I noticed the Red Rombus ('diamond') on the Isle of Wight Ferry logo the other day. Did they change Red Cross into Red Diamond? Is the Red Cross now called Red Diamond? Crazy, isn't it ?
Just some sample from the Dictionaries (Historical and Underworld):

(nr. 60 ) Banks vs Police: there was smth. in British media a few months ago about banks 'taking over' handling (credit-) bank fraud, although I can't remember all details. Here is my experience: I used my Barclay card last Saturday Oct. 6. Monday morning (8 Oct.) I came to ask if I might have left it in the Cash machine. They double-checked and said 'no'. Since no money was withdrawn, I felt positive it was at home. On Thursday morning 11 Oct. I cancelled it by tel. from the Barclay High Street branch. The new card was in my post Fri/Sat, despite the Postal strike. Yesterday morning I had a letter (dated Mon. Oct. 8) in my post box from Gosport Police station (Property Officer) informing me that .... "Property ....(namely a Barclays bank card) has been recovered and may be claimed by you ...within 28 days ". It turned out a member of public found it in the street. However, the Police ( Andy Gallagher) apologised to me because he destroyed my card by mistake that very day in the morning. He explained, that when they contact the bank in question, they practically always receive an instruction to destroy the card(s), but in my case the bank asked them to send the card to me and provided my address. They never told me that.
THE GOSPORT library IT network is down today till 17.00. I am in Portsmouth now.
