            I cannot remove from my mind the photograph which appeared in The Times and the Telegraph today of children fleeing when South Vietnamese aircraft accidentally napalmed their camp.  In particular the girl running naked and screaming is an awful combination of beauty, pain and terror, arousing love and horror.  And apparently her back was burned by napalm.

            And in Burundi: they are murdering the schoolchildren – twelve and thirteen year olds.

            But for stark mad fear, see the face of the boy on the left?
