I must re-read "Don't Look Now". In 1974 I was a stagiare (trainee) with the EEC. We went on a trip to Italy, and in Venice stayed in an old house on Giudecca called Casa Frollo. A large old house, with uneven floors and a charming courtyard. The house had been in the film of "Don't Look Now".

Dag Hammarskjold: Markings
This piece on BBC News - Dag Hammarskjold: Was his death a crash or a conspiracy? reminds me that I must re-read Dag Hammarskjold's book "Markings". When I was a student this was one of my favourite books, and it's some time since I read it.
