  • The Statesman at 1:45 in the Morning One Day This Past July, Bono, The
    New York Times September 18, 2005 The Statesman By JAMES TRAUB At 1:45 in the morning one day this past July, Bono, the lead singer for U2 and the world's foremost agitator for aid to Africa, was in a van heading back to his hotel in Edinburgh from Murrayfield Stadium; he had just performed in, and expounded at, a concert designed to coincide with the beginning of the summit meeting of the major industrialized nations, held nearby at the Gleneagles resort. Despite the hour, practically everybody in the van was on a cellphone. The bodyguard in the front seat was calling the hotel to see if a huge crowd would still be camped outside hoping to catch a glimpse of their world-straddling hero. (Roger that.) Lucy Matthew, the head of the London office of DATA, Bono's policy and advocacy body - the acronym stands for Debt AIDS Trade Africa - was whispering to some contact in the States. And Bono, who had been conferring 12 hours earlier at Gleneagles with President George Bush, Prime Minister Tony Blair and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, was sharing an anxiety attack with a friend. The leaders of the G-8, as the group is known, were going to offer far less in aid and trade to developing nations in Africa than the activists had led their followers to expect. Thousands of bright-eyed young recruits to the cause were going to go home in disgust. Bono, normally the most courteous of men, shouted an obscenity in Matthew's general direction, though the intended target was himself, or perhaps fate.

  • Bos-Variant Ten Onder in Politiek Spel
    Bos-variant ten onder in politiek spel Door onze redacteur Egbert Kalse De beslissing de HSL aan te leggen was een politiek compromis. Oog voor alternatieven was er nauwelijks. Over de al dan niet bestaande gelijkwaardigheid van varianten. DEN HAAG, 10 SEPT. Het uiteindelijke tracé van de hogesnelheidslijn - met een tunnel van 900 miljoen gulden dwars door het Groene Hart - was ,,paars op zijn best'', zei toenmalig premier Wim Kok eind 1996 toen het kabinet dat tracé verdedigde in de Kamer. Maar gisteren en vandaag werd duidelijk dat voordat het paarse compromis er lag, het bijna tot een kabinetscrisis was gekomen. De tijdelijke commissie infrastructuurprojecten (de commissie-Duivesteijn) is gisteren begonnen met de verhoren over de besluitvorming rondom de hogesnelheidslijn van Amsterdam naar België. De vragen spitsten zich toe op de onmogelijkheid voor parlement en burgers om nog iets te veranderen aan het kabinetsvoornemen een spoorlijn door het Groene Hart aan te leggen. Zo kwam ook de Bos- variant aan de orde. Voormalig ambtenaar Willem Bos, die gisterenmorgen werd verhoord, bedacht halverwege de jaren negentig een aantal varianten voor het tracé, waaronder een variant waarbij het spoor niet door het Groene Hart, maar langs de snelwegen A13 en A4 zou lopen. Volgens oud-minister Annemarie Jorritsma (Verkeer, VVD) was in de onderhandelingen over het paarse regeerakkoord nog niet over het daadwerkelijke tracé gesproken. Wel sprak het kabinet zich in 1994 uit voor de voorkeursvariant, door het Groene Hart. ,,En ik heb daarna geen betere varianten gezien'', aldus Jorritsma. Al in 1994 zijn alle varianten globaal bekeken, zei ze. Een voorloper van de Bos-variant is toen al afgevallen mede omdat die variant door nieuwe woonwijken en bestaande dorpen zou lopen.
