	July/August 1994 \| Contents
		Though Whittam Smith had thought about a Sunday paper for months, it was his discovery in April 1988 that the Chicago Tribune Company was planning to launch its own quality Sunday London broadsheet that pushed him into action.
		Whittam Smith would remain as editor-in-chief and would be given a three-year contract as chairman of the consortium's board.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Film \| Chief film 'censor' steps down

	Film \| He put the sense into censorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The job of censor involves arbitrating between conservative and libertarian instincts, and Whittam Smith was unusually equipped to judge both.
		When David Blunkett casts the stand-in for Whittam Smith, the precedent set by the outgoing candidate means that attention will inevitably fall on former media bosses now freelancing: Michael Grade, Peter Stoth-ard, Max Hastings and James Boyle, former overlords of Channel 4, the Times, the London Evening Standard and Radio 4 respectively.
		But the enlightened reign of Whittam Smith indicates that it's a liberal Tory with a maverick streak who is best positioned to keep a balance between the sensationalist ambitions of directors, the sleazy greed of producers and the reflex shockability of the rightwing press.

	Are Americans a Chosen People
		Smith mentions the relative "timidity of the average Brit in talking about religion," a reflection of the fact that most thoughtful Europeans have come to see one's relationship with God as an entirely personal affair.
		Smith argues that the newly-emergent American "religiosity," brought into the Oval Office by the Bush administration, "suggests that in a way Americans consider themselves a chosen people.
		The British had the same delusion in the 19th century." In other words, the richest, most powerful frog in the western pond has always perceived itself in charge of the entire pond, this pond-wide authority coming with the full blessings of the God of All Frogs, one can be sure.

		Frankly, only one thing could be worse than the Common Agricultural Policy – and that would be to have twenty-five separate agricultural policies, each with its own competing subsidies, each with its own protectionist measures.
