Many of his aides wore identical grey suits, as though they were off the same January sales rack.The Prime Minister mingled amiably with Delhi's British community and then, recognising a good photo-opportunity, doubled back to shake hands with arriving members of the England under-20 cricket team.A toned-down troupe of Rajasthani musicians and dancers, shrieking with more discretion than usual, were also in attendance.Today, the Prime Minister buckles down to work.

But a schism between the pro- federalists and the Quebec nationalists at a special convention of his Quebec Liberal Party, a division highlighted when leaders of the youth wing walked out of the convention in disgust, will add to his difficulties in winning a referendum in October.Polls taken since the basic principles of this latest attempt at rejigging the constitutional relationship between Quebec and the rest of the country were revealed about a week ago have indicated Quebeckers are almost equally divided into three groups: those for the deal, those opposed and those who say they do not understand it well enough to have an opinion.The polls reflect the turmoil which has been going on in Quebec for the past two years since another attempt at amending the constitution, a set of proposals called the Meech Lake Accord, was blocked by some English- speaking provinces which did not like the special status it would have created for Quebec.

The Chelsea manager, Glenn Hoddle, had tried to sign him before the transfer deadline in a players-plus-cash deal involving Tony Cascarino and Anthony Barness.

A few weeks back, this column focused mainly on supposed inaccuracies in the trade statistics, which some analysts claim to be serious. But, as Cooke has discovered, nothing guarantees loyalty so much as that fickle impostor success. It doesn't help the sport and you only have to look back to April and remember the cartoons that appeared after the National to recognise the importance of image.'L'addition on a silver tray for the stewards may therefore soon be followed by an inglorious appointment with the specimen bottle, as Caulfield would like to see them subject to the same urine test his members will have to undertake.

Dr Simeoni was to become the most prominent of a group of Corsican nationalists to go before the now defunct State Security Court and receive prison terms, all commuted when Francois Mitterrand was first elected President of France in 1981.As it reaches its 18th birthday this weekend, however, the nationalist movement is in crisis. When war came, both sides implored the same God grant them victory in a struggle which cost the lives of more young American men than any in history..
