An event without pathos

We had reckoned without the parrot

Article Abstract:

Travelling by campavan can be a very good way of seeing New Zealand's South Island, which has a very small population and few tourist facilities. It is possible to stop almost anywhere on the island in a campavan, and visitors can enjoy magnificent views. Holidaying in this way can be tiring, and can present difficulties for people not accustomed to camping, but is very worthwhile.

Set to sail without a helmsman

Article Abstract:

HMS Vanguard, the first Trident submarine appeared yesterday. It has already been paid for, but now the Cold War has ended, the case for the Trident is invalid. America might disengage from European security, the Russian situation might change again and the risk from the Third World justifies the British nuclear arsenal.
