    Quotation from Roland Barthes quoted by Edward Said in his book Beginnings “The only sort of interview that one could, if forced to, defend would be where the author is asked to articulate what he cannot write”. For 10 years, Edward Said, critic and political activist, lived with incurable leukemia. In the summer of 2002, almost one year before he died, one of his former students, D. D. Guttenplan, proposed a filmed conversation that would not be bound by either occasion or journalistic convention. Charles Glass, a mutual friend, agreed to ask the questions.

We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media.
