For the Sunday Times voice on football, read The People
Article Abstract:
Brian Glanville, football journalist, has moved from The Sunday Times to The People after 33 years. He is 60 years old, a Londoner who attended Charterhouse school. He has written 19 literary novels, plays, three children's books and five collections of short stories. His football journalism has consistently attacked England managers. He once wrote that all British football writers were failures because the quality papers did not reach the terrace crowd and the popular papers enforced stylised writing so were not read by all. He moved papers because The People offered him a lot more money.

'My daughter faces years in an African prison. Is it because she alerted the world to the plight of the bushmen?' (Caitlin Davies)
Article Abstract:
Caitlin Davies, who met Ronald Ridge, a Botswanan, in the US and subsequently moved with him to Botswana and married him, came into conflict with the authorities in Botswana when she became editor of the Okavango Observer, a local newspaper in her husband's home village of Maun, Botswana. She was arrested and charged with publishing a false report. Some observers believe that the authorities mainly object to the fact that she published a series of articles highlighting the government's unpopular removal of indigenous bushmen from the Kalahari.
