ARCHIVE. Amended from original in issue 1, September 1994. WEDNESDAY 27th JULY was a hot and clammy day.

My career as an amateur astronomer is blighted by street lighting and the English weather. In fact you could say that I suffer from… Astral Dejection I’ve seen Galaxies, Milky Ways and Mars in sweet shops – they’re chocolate bars. But I’ve never seen them in the night sky either with telescope or naked eye. I must be a poor...
I WENT TO see the exhibition of cartoons by Independent cartoonist Dave Brown last night at The Political Cartoon Gallery. There is an awe-inspiring array of meticulously-crafted artwork here from his regular Saturday offerings when he draws spoofs from well known artworks to reflect what has been happening in the news.
