Auberon Waugh's death at the age of 61 is more sad than surprising. His immediate heredity wasn't promising - his father died at 62, his mother at 57 - and he suffered from ill-health all his life, partly resulting from severe wounds sustained during National Service at the age of 18. That may, in part, have accounted for the acidic personality which made him the most verbally brutal journalist of his age. Everyone who met him remarked on the contrast between his ferocity in print and his personal geniality, but this was hard to explain to those who didn't know him, especially if they had been on the rough end of his pen. Apart from health, his background shaped his career in one other respect. He spent much of his life trying to escape from the shadow of his father, the greatest English novelist of his age. This provided an obvious weapon for Auberon's enemies. Philip Larkin joked about "my projected series, Talentless Sons of Famous Fathers - Waugh, Amis, Fuller...", and for … [Read more...] about Auberon Waugh

Vladimir Putin had to hold onto a table for support during a meeting with a top official. The warmonger, who has long been dogged by rumours of ill-health, held a firm grip as he listened to Russia’s top grain boss in Moscow. It appeared to be a carbon copy of a meeting Putin had at the same table last month. Footage showed the 69-year-old gripping the table so hard his veins started to bulge. These are just the latest in a long line of appearances coming under the spotlight amid reports of secret surgeries and body doubles. A clip from a recent awards ceremony showed Putin’s legs shaking as he swayed back and forth with his arms straight by his side. It is also widely believed he is taking steroids or receiving cancer treatment, which has left him looking puffy-faced. Professor Erik Bucy, a body language expert from Texas Tech University, told The Sun : ‘This is not a portrait of a healthy Putin but one appearing increasingly feeble and barely able to … [Read more...] about Putin seen tightly gripping a table again during meeting with grain boss
