The lottery money is supposed to go to charity—but it makes me angry to see some of the socalled "good causes" it's being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of ￡3 10.8 million in five months. We hear now that a lot of that money is boosting the pay packets of the company's bosses.
For the past 10 years I've been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago—he was only 51. There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been devastating. I've also lost two sisters-in-law, my brother, Michael, my father-in-law and my father. That's apart from several close friends.
The charity is 50 years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers. Our local group raises money through dances, sales and coffee morning, and all the funds go directly to cancer research. In 1993 Tenovus raised 1￡3 million--and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But out income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.
I'm not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what they're doing. The chances of winning the jackpot are so small; they might as well throw their money away. The Government tells us that the proceeds are going to things like the arts and sports, but what about the National Health Service？ They should give some cash to that, too. How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art—like displays of potatoes—or buying up Winston Churchill's papers at a cost of ￡12 million？
So who really are the winners in the National Lottery？ When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research, I could weep. It's time people realized bow charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. It's disheartening and so infuriating.

Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn't easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime-a-word job. But once you were there, I found, you were in.
Globe jobs were for life—guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck with it.
Instead, I had made a decision to leave.
I entered my boss's office. Would he rage？ I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk," I began awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I'm forty. There's a lot I want to do in life. I'm resigning."
"To another paper？" he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn't say anything, not trusting myself just then.
I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That we were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change.
"I'm glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can't," he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world," he concluded. "And if it doesn't work out, remember, your star is always high here."
Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I'd be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.
Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property.
"I'm resigning, Bill," I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn't looking angr or dismayed either.
After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I were in your shoes."
From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous______.

Two teams of Canadian engineers are completing their low-budget rockets and have begun seeking volunteer astronauts for a 2003 launch date to go 62 miles into space to win the St. Louis-based X Prize competition (which pays (U.

Inga Kosak won the first World Extreme Ironing Championship in Munich in September, beating 80 contestants (from 10 countries), who are judged on the degree of difficulty they can create for themselves in order to iron. One ironed while bouncing on a trampoline, another while surfboarding on a river, and another hanging upside down from a tree. The activity's founder, Phil Shaw, says he does it because ironing itself is particularly boring. [Boston Globe, 12-13-02]
