|  | Bigotry is in with the bricks in Britain | | 12:08am Sat 3 May 08 | | The Saturday Essay: The history of the Act of Settlement is what Stephen Fry would no doubt describe as quite interesting. The early-eighteenth-century background is not half as fascinating, though, as the simple fact that the thing survives. | | 16 comments | | By IAN BELL |
| Putting the blame on the kids from Fame | | 12:08am Saturday 3rd May 2008 | | I blame fame. Not the abstract concept of popularity but the 1980s television series, Fame. Ever since dowdy British viewers were dazzled by the sight of American teenagers star-jumping off car roofs and being told that "right here is where you start paying", a ghastly toll has been
extracted from society. | | By ALISON ROWAT |
| What’s the story with... Miley Cyrus? | | 12:08am Saturday 3rd May 2008 | | It’s hard to know who to blame in this situation. A so-called innocent 15-year-old actress is cajoled into taking her top off for a prestigious photoshoot. She’s eager to please the famous professionals around her, not least the celebrity photographer who’s coordinating the shoot. | | 4 comments | | By ELIZABETH McMEEKIN |
 | Cosmic events coinciding | | 12:37am Fri 2 May 08 | | When Robert Spano was invited to conduct a portrait concert of Osvaldo Golijov he was also asked which other contemporary American composer he would like to include. | | By ROWENA SMITH |
| Getting a laugh out of nothing | | 12:37am Friday 2nd May 2008 | | Jonathan Monk belongs to that group of artists – Christine Borland, Douglas Gordon, David Shrigley et al – who studied together at the Glasgow School of Art and kick-started the city’s scene in the early 1990s. | | By JACK MOTTRAM |
| Terry Neason: Secret Smiles & Love Songs | | 12:01am Friday 2nd May 2008 | | Review: Terry Neason tells a funny story - one of many - about her relationship with her treadmill. It's about getting in shape for the show, of course, yet the irony is that she might easily swap the treadmill for the Citizens' studio floor. | | By ROB ADAMS |
| Stamping down our carbon footprint | | 12:35am Friday 2nd May 2008 | | Ethical living: Lying in our tent in France one hot night last summer, I found myself musing, like I always do when camping, on how little it was possible to live on during a holiday and how much stuff I had back home. What was it all for? | | 2 comments | | By REBECCA McQUILLAN |
