When pressed to say where her roots are, she recalled the image in the Koran of a tree that has its roots not in the earth but in the air. With an unprecedentedly mobile world population, writers are everywhere on the frontline of cultural exchange, putting into words the experiences of millions whose own identities are contested and denied. Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air. Stories, on the other hand, grow downwards, seeking the cultural nutrients in the soil.

A News Bulletin Thirty five vehicles were involved in a multiple collision on the M. The accident occurred about three miles south of the Newport Pagnell service area when an articulated lorry carrying a load of steel bars jack-knifed and overturned. A number of lorry drivers and motorists were unable to pull up in time and ran into the overturned vehicle, causing a major pile-up. Some of the steel bars from the load were flung by the impact across the central reserve into the southbound carriageway, which was restricted to single-lane working because of repairs and resurfacing, causing several minor accidents. With both carriageways blocked, police closed the motorway for a time, and diversion signs were posted at the nearest slip roads. Breakdown vehicles and ambulances had considerable difficulty in reaching the scene of the accident because of fog. This was dense in places, and the flashing amber light signals had been switched on for most of the night. So far there are no reports of anyone seriously injured in the accident. This accident, the fourth involving a multiple pile-up of vehicles in the last month, comes just as the first National Conference on Motorway Use is getting under way. At the opening meeting in London last night, Sir John Stone, the Metropolitan Area Traffic Adviser, criticised the standard of motorway driving in this country. He said that there was evidence that many of the basic disciplines of motorway use had yet to be learned by British drivers. Lane discipline was much worse in this country than in America; and the habits of drivers when overtaking were particularly bad. One saw far too much dangerous pulling-out without an adequate signal having been given, and there was a similarly dangerous tendency for drivers to cut in after overtaking.

Aside from state questions dealing with gay marriage, immigration law, campaign finance, the minimum wage, as well as decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, Summit County voters faced a number of critical questions. The vote triggers the establishment of a new multi-jurisdictional housing authority that encompasses the entire county. In Frisco, voters rejected the chance to land a consolidated campus of Colorado Mountain College on a small corner of the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area. The vote was 55 percent to 45 percent opposed to the plan, and CMC afterward said they would pursue a new non-consolidated campus in nearby Breckenridge. As far as elected officials, young aide to U. Gibbs will follow local favorite son Gary Lindstrom, who announced the end of his lengthy public service career by not seeking re-election to the House seat.

In addition, says the Union, the pamphlet fails to mention horticulture, which constitutes an important part of British agriculture, and which is likely to be badly hit in the event of a link-up with the Common Market. The officials said that in their view the pamphlet tended to over-emphasize the benefits of joining the EEC, and to leave out of account many genuine difficulties. Выпуск Новостей Тридцать пять машин столкнулось сегодня утром в большой аварии на дороге Ml. Происшествие случилось примерно в трех милях южнее сервисного центра Ньюпорт Пэгнель, когда грузовик с прицепом, груженный стальными прутьями, завалился на бок и перевернулся. Многие водители грузовиков и автомобилей не смогли вовремя увернуться и врезались в перевернутое транспортное средство, вызвав большое нагромождение машин. Некоторые стальные прутья сорвались с грузовика через разделительную полосу на южную полосу дороги, которая была закрыта для одностороннего движения из-за ремонта и смены покрытия, что привело к ряду мелких аварий. Поврежденные машины и машины скорой помощи имели значительные трудности из-за тумана при прибытии на место аварии. На месте было очень тесно, и мигающие сигнальные были включены большую часть ночи. Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог. На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны. Он сказал, что очевидным стало то, что британские водители еще должны выучить многие из основных правил дорожного движения. Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять.
