Well]'London Luminaries and Cockney Visionaries' will be shown 19 Dec(Photograph omitted). There is no evidence that the Egyptian battalion in Sarajevo or the Jordanian battalion north of the Sava river have saved a single Muslim life.But of greatest portent were those voices - sometimes incoherent, always rhetorical, invariably angry - which sought to define what could not be discussed elsewhere; the idea that Muslims must decide their own future without interference from the West or from Arab leaders friendly with the West.

Far from it in the case of Colin Woodthorpe, a bargain buy from Chester City, who distinguished himself in the unfamiliar role of centre-back.Unbeaten in the League since early September and 14 points clear at the kick-off, United can hardly have expected a start which saw them pinned back and outplayed for the first half-hour.Norwich were quickly into that pleasing passing pattern, and would have been 2-0 up inside 10 minutes but for Denis Irwin's goal-line intervention to thwart Chris Sutton and the plunging save with which Peter Schmeichel repelled a hooked volley from Lee Power.Ruel Fox's pacy, insidious runs and Sutton's livewire leadership of the line panicked United's defence in general, and Gary Pallister in particular, into a succession of mistakes, and Jeremy Goss might have scored with a header from Sutton's cross before the first goal finally arrived, on the half-hour.Perversely, after Norwich had played so well, it was United who scored it - Eric Cantona's cross from the right touchline evading both Mark Hughes and Ian Culverhouse in reaching the far post, where Ryan Giggs steered it in.In the time it took to say injustice, Sutton had equalised, thumping the ball home from 20 yards after Schmeichel had pushed out Fox's initial strike.Marvellous stuff.

Her desire for sexual gratification without sacrificing her freedom seems to be inherited from Harry, a womaniser who wouldn't marry Mina's mother. Commenting on Christmas trading, a spokesman said: 'We're on estimate; we're reasonably satisfied; reasonably pleased.'Glaxo Holdings also gave the market a shot in the arm.

His troubles with syndicate 745 are seen as reflecting a wider market malaise.Last week, the Independent revealed that syndicate 561, under the management of the Bankside Underwriting Agencies group, had been poised to make a large profit for the 1992 underwriting account.Following insurance claims from Hurricane Andrew in the last few weeks, it was unlikely that syndicate 561, consisting of about 3,000 underwriting members, would do better than break even.In Lloyd's there is a dramatic wave of job losses as underwriters refuse to insure certain types of high-risk business.

Inflation and monetary chaos means that as soon as people have money they spend it on food and store it.
