Roger Michell describes his potent new film as "a thriller about love". Adapted from Ian McEwan’s novel, Enduring Love, stars Daniel Craig as Joe, a peevish and splendidly irritating social anthropologist, and Rhys Ifans as the scruffy, puppy-like God botherer who, after an accident with a hot-air balloon, becomes obsessed with him.
"As soon as Rhys’ character says, ’Let’s sit down and pray’, "chuckles the director, "you know there’s bad news ahead. In the book he is a more happy-clappy evangelist, but we toned it down."
Although clearly drawn to such eccentric characters, Michell himself is thoroughly down-to-earth. "I’m one of those boring people who knew what I wanted to do from an early age," he explains. "I started acting as a child but was completely hopeless so started directing little plays in school."

| If we had to rely on only five senses
for survival, we would be in very sad shape indeed. We wouldn’t know up from

were doing or what position our limbs were in. We wouldn’t know when our body
was damaged because we wouldn’t feel pain. We might freeze to death without even
a shiver, or overheat without a drop of sweat. The five senses--touch, taste,
smell, bearing and sight-respond only to stimulation from the outside world, but
the inside world of our bodies must also receive and respond to important
messages. Our internal senses keep us alive and enable us to use our external senses. In effect, the internal senses tell our brains how to run our bodies.

Vice President A1 Gore, his last realistic avenue for legal challenge closed by a U. S. Supreme Court decision late Tuesday, planned to end the contest formally in a televised evening speech of perhaps 10 minutes, advisers said.

The men would speak from a ceremonial chamber of the Old Executive office Building, to the west of the White House. The dozens of political workers and lawyers who had helped lead Mr. Gore’s unprecedented fight to claw a come-from-behind electoral victory in the pivotal state of Florida were thanked Wednesday and asked to stand down.
