McGough: poet and plagiarist?

Article Abstract:

Poet Roger McGough has acknowledged that his extremely popular poem 'In Case of Fire' was inspired by the work of Jenny Lewis, whom he met while teaching a course in Yorkshire, England. However, Lewis has objected to this, feeling that she has not been properly acknowledged. McGough does not believe that he can give her a credit every time he reads his poem, and the Poetry Society shares this view. She feels that 'In Case of Fire' has brought considerably more benefit to McGough than it has to her.

Let the bad times roll

Article Abstract:

Pop music can be used to reflect many different stages in life, according to singer-songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson, who is currently celebrating his 60th birthday. He came to public attention relatively late in life, and his career has been marked by both successes and failures. Most recently, he has been undertaking a month-long European tour to publicise his new album, made with Don Was.

Things that make him unhappy: paradise islands, misrepresentation. Things that make him happe: suits

Article Abstract:

Television presenter Angus Deayton has become extremely popular through the 'Have I Got News For You' series. He succeeds in being humorous while still being articulate and mild-mannered, and has gained a reputation for dressing very tastefully. His latest project is 'In Search of Happiness,' which some observers regard as strange for a man who does not come across as particularly happy.
