Auberon Waugh
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

RYAN Seacrest and Kelly Ripa's fans have caught an embarrassing mistake made on their talk show during Tuesday’s new episode.

Hunting for Antibiotics in the World’s Dirtiest Places
On a chilly autumn morning in northwest London, just outside the Euston train station, Adam Roberts stops at the top of an outdoor staircase, looks around for police, and tries to appear inconspicuous. This is harder than it sounds, and not only because he’s 6 foot 3. Roberts pulls a plastic-wrapped package from his pocket, tears it open, and slides out a long, slender tube and a swab that looks like an overgrown Q-tip. After checking again for anyone watching, he trots down the stairs, dragging the swab along the handrail, and slips the swab into the tube and the tube into his pocket. Then he strolls away. Listen to the audio version of this article: Feature stories, read aloud: download the Audm app for your iPhone. After a block, Roberts veers off busy Euston Road and down side streets toward his lab at University College London. He’s not up to anything nefarious—quite the opposite—but with closed-circuit TVs everywhere and London on high alert for terrorist threats, … [Read more...] about Hunting for Antibiotics in the World’s Dirtiest Places
The PM is stuck in a Time Warp of self-delusion. Everyone else could see the show was over
They say it ain’t over until the fat lady sings, but in the end Boris Johnson’s problem was that he was humming a different tune to the rest of his Cabinet. Like a toddler with his fingers stuck in his ears, screaming: “La, la, la”, the Prime Minister appeared tone deaf to the disquiet among colleagues over his failure to hit the right note in response to a string of scandals. After the savageries of partygate, only a pitch perfect response to the resignation of Chris Pincher, the deputy chief whip, would do. Yet instead what they got on Tuesday was a Rocky Horror Show with Mr Johnson stuck in a Time Warp of self-delusion. Everyone else could see the show was over but – ever the showman – the Prime Minister was hoping for some sort of cake-and-eat it encore. After a day of drama which saw Dominic Raab, the Justice Secretary, stumbling over his lines, and Michael Ellis, the Paymaster General, performing to empty front bench seats in the Commons, Downing Street: The … [Read more...] about The PM is stuck in a Time Warp of self-delusion.

Peter Crouch launches part lager part stout beer that started as a ‘joke on his podcast’
Peter Crouch is now asking fans to 'pass the pint' instead of 'passing the pod' as BrewDog have made his Laout dreams come true. What started out as a joke over lockdown on his acclaimed That Peter Crouch Podcast has now become a reality. Crouchy and his co-stars created a drink that was "part lager and part stout" - coming up with the name Laout. However, in the season six podcast finale, Crouch actually launched the drink. He said: "This started as a little joke on our podcast, but it's become something special. Our dreams have become a reality, thanks to BrewDog.

Be parched no more." The launch continued several on-running jokes in the podcast and the tagline 'parched' is a jibe at Charlie Adam, Crouch's former teammate. Crouch had joked about Adam talking tactics with coaches at … [Read more...] about Peter Crouch launches part lager part stout beer that started as a ‘joke on his podcast’
The Smartphone Psychiatrist
S ometime around 2010, about two-thirds of the way through his 13 years at the helm of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)—the world’s largest mental-health research institution—Tom Insel started speaking with unusual frankness about how both psychiatry and his own institute were failing to help the mentally ill. Insel, runner-trim, quietly alert, and constitutionally diplomatic, did not rant about this. It’s not in him. You won’t hear him trash-talk colleagues or critics. Listen to the audio version of this article: Feature stories, read aloud: download the Audm app for your iPhone. Yet within the bounds of his unbroken civility, Insel began voicing something between a regret and an indictment. In writings and public talks, he lamented the pharmaceutical industry’s failure to develop effective new drugs for depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia; academic psychiatry’s overly cozy relationship with Big Pharma; and the paucity of treatments produced by the … [Read more...] about The Smartphone Psychiatrist
