In the men's giant, Italy's Alberto Tomba withdrew after finishing 16th on the first leg, all of 1.8sec behind the leader Fredrik Nyberg of Sweden. Of these, only 57 received a grant for the full cost of the fees, a fall of almost 60 per cent over the last year.John Taylor, the secretary of the CLE, says that the figures confirm a continuing decline since 1989, when nearly half the students were on full LEA grants, and two-thirds received some kind of LEA help. Havergal listened constantly to Donizetti's score; everything was planned to the last shrug and wink. According to the latest European initiative, if Republika Srpska hands over 3 per cent of the territory it holds to the Muslims, sanctions against Serbia would start to be suspended and the Republika Srpska recognised as a legitimate government.The town's former majority Muslim population - the Serbs insist on calling them 'the Turks' - have disappeared. Unless a society's aversion to inflation is extraordinarily deep-rooted in history, and unless this somehow manifested itself in the constitution of the central bank many decades ago, it seems difficult to maintain that the causation has run mainly from low inflation to bank independence.It is possible, though, that some third factor explains variations in inflation, and that the apparent link with bank independence is either mere coincidence or is itself explained by this third factor.

McCoist, missing for six months with a broken leg, has returned to something like his best form in recent weeks, and took his total to four goals in six starts with a double against Dundee on Wednesday. 'I'm bound to be nervous but not too nervous,' he said.David Frost, of South Africa, who had led after the first round, had a 70 yesterday for 136 to lie one behind Beck with Bernhard Langer and Sweden's Robert Karlsson on 137.Langer, showing no signs of his recent neck trouble, had seven birdies in eight holes from the fifth and another at the 18th for a 64, his lowest round on this course.The German had one stroke of luck, however, when at the sixth hole his second shot was missing the green, struck a spectator and bounced on to the green. Now 45, he got involved in house-building soon after leaving school, aged 15 and with no formal qualifications. Lacking this vital point, the UN says it cannot protect their inhabitants. The UN resolution on 'safe areas' adopted in May did not talk of winning approval from Bosnian Serbs. He arrived in England from Dublin in the early Seventies with no more than the price of a concert ticket in his trousers. The other - originally wrapped in a shroud made partially of silver thread - had a salver 5 inches (12.7cm) in diameter buried with him. 'The fact is that without sophisticated packaging, the whole economy of food and drink manufacture and retail would collapse.' He speaks witheringly of pressure groups who, he says, have no idea of market economics Briskly, he runs through packaging's virtues.

Mr Yeltsin's 'cold' has proved less lethal than those caught by Brezhnev, Andropov or Chernenko.The mystery bug was first mentioned to explain why Mr Yeltsin had left his office in the Kremlin and retreated to a dacha in the country, where he was said to busy consulting world leaders by telephone about Sarajevo.The story quickly unravelled. London's futures and options exchange has taken over the public role of the old Stock Exchange as the place where the cameras go for a bit of trading action. Compare this to 49 diplomats and many more support staff at the embassy in Moscow.In Minsk, they work by candle-light. The problems of the European motor industry have been widely appreciated here: there are too many manufacturers; their cost structure in most cases is too high; average quality is well below Japan and in some cases below the US; the market is stagnant, or worse.
