For example, parents may be

That may be why only children
are more likely to show interest in
academic pursuits rather than
physical or outdoor activities.Only

The first-born is an only child until
the second child comes along transforming them from being the
centre of attention,to then sharing
the care of parents.Parentswill also
expect them to be responsibleand
'set
an example'.The change from
being the focus of a family may
b e q u i t e a s h o c k a n d s o s h a p et h e
first-born's subsequent outlook on
life. Therefore first-borns may try to
get back their parents'attentionand
approval by achieving successand
recognition in their careers.lt has
been noted that first-borns are
significantly more often found as
world politicalleadersthan any other
birth order position.
As they have more children,parents
tend to become more open and
relaxedand that may allow younger
children to be more risk-taking,'
Leong said.'lf the first-born or only
child wants to be a poet, that may
concern parents.But by the fourth
child,parentsmay not mind as much.'
Being the youngest in the family
can sometimesbe a stifling and
frustrating experience,especially if
they're looking to be taken seriously
and treated like an adult. The
last-bornis more likely than the
other birth order positionsto take up
d a n g e r o u s p o r t s . T h im
s aybe a sign
of the last-born'srebellious streak
- a resultof being fed up with always
being bossedabout by everyoneelse
in the family.
Middle children, however, have
different issues. 'Middle child
syndrome' can mean feeling
sandwiched between two other
'more
important' people - an older
s i b l i n gw h o g e t s a l l t h e r i g h t sa n d i s
treated like an adult and a younger
sibling who gets all the privileges
and is treated like a spoilt child.
Middle-borns have to learn to get
o n w i t h o l d e r a n d y o u n g e rc h i l d r e n ,
and this may contribute to them
becoming good negotiators- of all
the birth order positions they are
most skilfulat dealingwith authority
figures and those holding inferior
positions.
Leong said the biggest differences
in the study were between only
childrenand later-bornchildren.'Firstborn children are difficult to classify
becausethey startout asonly children
but latergive up that position.lt may
be that the length of time a firstb o r n c h i l d i s a n o n l y c h i l d m a k e sa

Among newly-retiredmen,deathratesincreasesignificantly
in the first six months after leavingemployment.Formost of
their lives,theirpersonality,self-esteem
and statushavebeen
definedby work;without it,they losetheir appetitefor life.
Life wasn't always so driven by employment, however.Work in
the pre-industrialage was task-orientednot time-structured,
focussingnot on money but on tasks necessaryfor survival.
Whole communitiesworked togetherso there was lessdivision
betweenwork and'freetimeiThe lndustrialRevolutionradically
changed how people worked. Suddenly,work was no longer
structuredby seasons,but by the clock.Work was separated
from the rest of life,and began to provide money ratherthan
food and goods.
More recently,the revolution in InformationTechnologyhas
again changed the nature of work and employment. The
workplaceitselfmay becomeredundant.Twomillionemployees
in the UK now work from home,keepingin touch via email and
phone. Many employerssay that working'remotely'improves
productivity,as workers are happier and waste less time
commuting.Thereare downsidestoo, however,as workerslose
touch with the workplaceand peoplethere.
We will undoubtedly have to accept that the nature of work
has changed and will continue to do so. After all, we were
conditioned into acceptingthe nine-to-fiveworking day and
there is no reasonwhy we can't be conditionedinto accepting
somethingelse.Thisarticlewas written at home in the country

r
;
usannahwas apparentlyperfect,as the
deadso often become.Shewas,it seemed,
perfectiybeautiful,perfectlygood,and perfectly
h"ppy during her comparativelyshort life. They
said she met life with open arms, everpositive and
optimistic. I do not believea word of this. How,
after all, could she be happy,knowing she was likely
to die soon,when shewas a mere thirty-one years
old and I, her baby,was hardly six months old?
rt
I havea feelingthat the existenceof the memory
box may have troubled my father from the
beginning. He didn't give it to me until my
twenty-first birthday eventhough it had been in
our house all that time. Charlotteknew about
:5 it, of course,but neither shenor my father
could bring themselvesto mention it. I think
they were both afraid of its significance.Also, I
was a highly imaginative child and they simply
didn't know how to introducethis memory box
20 into mv life.
25
Now, however,their nervousnessmakesme curious.What
exactlywere they afraid of? Did they think I might be shocked,
and if so why? At any rate, both of them were visibly on edge,
almost guilty, when finally on the morning of my twenty-first birthday
they told me about it. It was clearthey were relievedwhen I showedlittle interest
in it. I said I didn't want to open it, or evenseeit.
This was a lie, and yet not a lie. The box did, in fact, make me curious evenif I found i wanted to suppressthe
feeling.Aged ten, I don't think I would havebeen ableto. I'm sure I would havebeen too excitedat the thought
that it might contain all sorts of treasures;and then around fifteen I d havefound it irresistiblyromantic and
3o would havebeen readyto weep on discoveringdried rosespressedbetweenthe pagesof meaningfulpoems.But
at twenty-one I was very self-centred;my currositywas only slight and I could more easilydeny it. In fact, I felt a
kind of nausea,at the notion of a dying woman choosingwhat to put in a box for me.
Nevertheless,there was no doubt that it forcedme to think of Susannah.Grorvrngup, I could hardiy have
thought of her less,wanting Charlotteto be my only mother. I rt'asalrvaysfunous if anyonereferredto her as
my stepmother.However,Charlotteherselfwould try to calm me by pointing out that, whether I liked it or not,
that was exactly what she was.
40
After Charlottedied, the hardestthing I had to do was go backinto our old home. For a whole month, I was
obligedto go there day after day until everybit of furniture, everyobject,everybook and picture, everypieceof
clothing, everylast curtain and cushionwas sorted out and readyto be collectedby all manner of people.This
was, of course,how I found the box, eventhough I very
nearlymissedit. My attention might not havebeen

In some parts of Europeand the USA,
many pet owners see their cat or dog
as a member of the family.In the UK,
owners spend an amazing€4 billion
annuallyon keepingtherr petsfit,well and
entertained.In one survey it was found
that up to forty percentof owners said
they boughtgiftsfor their pets,including
Christmas and birthday presents.
Owners happilypampertheir pets with
increasinglylavish lifestyles,including
toys,furniture,accessories
and'gourmet'
food. There are also pet psychologists
for those with problems,pet passports
for those who want to travel and a
whole rangeof serviceson offer:There
are hundreds of retail outlets offering
owners a vast array of produds. But
many pets have everythingthey could
ever askfor (or bark for?).Thequestion
for many owners now is:what do you
give to the pet that has everything?We

r
t 2p.m. on 24th
November 1971.,
a middle-aged man
of average height, dressed
in a dark suit, white shirt,
dark glasses and a black
tie, handed a $20 note
to a clerk at the Portland
airoort. asked for a oneway ticket and then boarded Flight 305 for
Seattle. Identifying himself as Dan Cooper,
he carried only a briefcase.Just before takeoff, he handed the flight attendant a note.
Watching her put the note in her pocket, he
'Miss,
said quietly,
you'd better look at that
note. I have a bomb.'The messagedemanded
$200,000 and four parachutes - by 5p.m. To
remove any final doubts, Cooper opened his
briefcase and showed the flight attendant sticks
of dynamite, attached to wire and a battery.
As the plane circled over Seattle, the pilot,
'William
Rataczak, quickly learned he was
not dealing with an amateur. This man was
totally single-minded.With
the confidence of
an army commander, Cooper told Rataczak
that after the money and parachutes had
been delivered, he wanted him to
south from Seattle, fly no higher
head
than
10,000 Get and leave the rear door open.

The planelandedin SeattleandbyTp.rn,
it had refuelled and the parachutesand
money were on board.The plane took
off again a Gw minutes after 7.30p.rn.
Then Cooper carefully collected all
his cigarette ends, made sure he had
all his handwritten notes and strapped
the money bag to his body using cords
he cut from one of the parachutes.
At 8.12p.m,'we felt a little bump and
the air pressure changed,' Rataczak
said.And that wasthe lastfix on D. B. Cooper.The Air Force had
sent up rwo F-106 fighter planesro chasethe Boeing 727 and
try to keep Cooper's parachute in sight but they were too fast
and had to keep making giant S-curvesin the sky.For the next
few weeks, hundreds of federal agents,helped by Army troops,
searchedaround the areaunder where Cooperjumped.A small
submarine also searchednearby Lake Merwin. But they found
nothing. In fact there was no concrete evidence of any kind
until February 1980 when an Oklahoma boy, having a picnic
with his family on the shoreof the Columbia River, cameacross
a waterloggedbag containing 294 rnouldy g20 notes.The serial
numbers matched those on the notes given to D.B. Cooper.
This find got the FBII attention. Helicopters flew over the area,
squadsof agents dug up the shore, searching for more notes,
Cooper'sbody or parachutebut again,nothing.
D.B.Cooper enteredthe history books asan authenticAmerican
legend.'Theret a good reasonfor this,'saysLarry Goldfine, a
Seattlelawyer who was sitting on Flight 305 that day.'ltwas rhe
first skyjacking for money and then the skyjacker disappeared
without atrace.No one washurt and it all happenedright under
the nosesof the FBI'. Most people think D.B. gor awaywith it.
The Cooper ofthe legendhasthe coolnessof a SteveMceueen
or Clint Eastwood.In the end,no one haseverworked out just
who he was - or is. In his enduring anonymiry he has inspired
three books, a play,a film, a song and thousandsof D.B. Cooper
bars and restaurants.Perhapsthe ultimate tribute is the annual
'D.B.
Cooper Days' festival in the tiny Washington town over
which Cooper was thoughr to have parachuted.Theret a D.B.

Silence,silence,'whispereda loud speaker.
'Silence,
silence,'repeatedother loudspeakers
at intervals along the corridor. The students
and eventhe Director himself, without
thinking, obeyedthe voicesand walked on the
tips of their toes. They were Alphas, of course,
but evenAlphas have been well conditioned.
'Silence,
silence.'Theair of the fourteenthfloor
was heavywith the whispered command.
The Director carefully openeda door. They
entered a room where the light was very low.
Eighty little beds stood in a row againstthe
wall. All that could be heard was light regular
breathing and a continuous hum like the sound
ofvery faint voicesspeakingsoftly at a great
distance.
A nurse stood up as they entered.
'What'sthe lesson
this afternoon?'theDirector askedquietly.
'Elementary
ClassConsciousness,'she answered.
The Director walked slowly down the long line of beds. In each
one lay a child asleep.Eighty little boys and girls with pink,
healthy faceslay there softly breathing. There was a whisper
under everybedcover.'Elementary ClassConsciousness,did you
say?Let's have it repeateda little louder by the loudspeaker.'
At the end of the room a loud speakerhung on the wall. The
Director walked up to it and presseda switch.
'... all wear green,'
said a soft but very distinct voice,beginningin
the middle of a sentence,'and Delta Children wear light brown.
Oh no, I don't want to playwith Delta children. And Epsilons are
evenworse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides
they wear black, which is such an ugly colour. I'm so glad I'm a
Beta.'
There was a pause,then the voice began again.
'Alpha
children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, becausethey're so clever. I'm really very
glad I'm a Beta,becauseI don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammasand Deltas.
Gammasare stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear light brown. Oh no, I don't want to play
with Delta children. And Epsilons are evenworse.'
The Director pushed back the switch. The voice sank to the faintest of whispers which could just be heard
from beneath the eighty bedcovers.
'They'll
have that repeateda hundred and twenty times three times a week for thirty months while they are
sleeping,then they go on to a more advancedlesson.Sleep-teachingis the most powerful force of all time in
social education.The child's mind becomesthese suggestionsand the total of these suggestionsis the child's
mind. And not only the child's mind. The adult's mind too, all his life long. The mind that thinks and desires
and decides.But all thesesuggestionsare our suggestions!'TheDirector almost shoutedin his enthusiasm.
'Suggestions

The good old days?
In last week's edition, Oliver Hughes lamented the
'the
good old days'. According to him'
passing of
we now have identical high streets worldwide, local
cultures have been eroded and national identities have
all but disappeared.I, personally,couldn't believe how
negativehis article was' I strongly disagreewith almost
everything he said. Far from the uniformity he was
describing,we now live in a world of incredible diversity
and that can only be good.
In the o1ddays,we were far more stereotypedand more
pigeon-holed by our nationality or where we lived' You
were an Italian in Italy, you were expectedto be, like
'an
Italiad. The beauty of the new
and do things like
it can free people from the

is
view
international
tyftflrry of geography.Just because someone lives in
Francedoesnot mean they can only speakFrench,eat
French food and listen to French music.We can now
take it for granted that a Frenchman'or an American,
persontakesholidaysin Spainor Florida'
or aJapanese
eatssushior spaghettifor dinner and has friends from
aroundthe world.
I see this diversity and availability as an extremely
good thing. Look at things on a local level. Oliver
Hughes may think that every high street is the same'I
peoplefrom many differentcountriesmay
disagree.Yes,
recognisesome of the shopsbut I can now go down my
high street and I have choicel I can chooseto eat many
different typesoffood. I can alsobuy clothesfrom shops
originally from many different places:we've got shops
Llke Zara from Spain and Muji from Japan, as well
as countlessbrands from all over the world. Far from
havinglimited choice;the choiceis almostendless.
There is no doubt that in some ways the world is
becoming more uniform but the significance of this
uniformity is often exaggerated.Different cultures
remain and we can chooseto be the sameor different'
The truth is that we increasinglydefine ourselvesrather
than let othersde{ineus. Being Italian or American or
Polish doesnot define who you are:it is part ofwho you
are.It seemsto me that most peoplewant the best of
both worlds - old and new. Admit it, Oliver Hughes!
Most of us want to haveour cakeAND eat it, dodt we?

I readOliver Hughes'article'Thegoodold days'lastweek
with interest.Despite making some sensiblepoints' to
my mind his argument is wildly oversimplified in saying
that the old dayswere better.A1l too often nowadays,we
heartheseblack and white opinionsabout'globalisation''
In my opinion, it's a gtey areaand there are important
benefits aswell as someinevitable downsidesaswe move
curry from India, but for some, it's even better' Even
brandedgoodsareoften changedto suit localtastes'with
M.Donald's selling beer in France,lamb in India' and
of musical types.And alongsidethis incredible diversity
now availableacrossthe world, in most countries' local
artists still top the charts. So, local tastes are alive and
well, AND evenmore variety is being created'
Another point which Mr Hughes failed to convince me
about was about English'taking over the world'as he put
it. I dont think so! I agreethat huge numbersof people
now speakEnglish:around380 million peoplespeakit as
their first languageand another 250 million or so astheir
second.However' in many cases'a new type of English
has been created.Many people across the world now
speaka'global English which facilitatescommunication
in an *"r-shrinking' ever-more commercial world'
People certainly dorit want a single world language,but
global languagehas major advantagesfor

As far as I can see,the sameis true of music'According
to Oliver Hughes, all we ever listen to now is bland
American-influenced music. I know for a fact that the
