  Cardiff City  news 08/08/00   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Gould, 54, is renewing links with former Wimbledon supremo Sam Hammam, whose takeover of the Welsh club is expected to be confirmed later this month.
Gould took former club Wimbledon to FA Cup success in 1988 and it was his proven track record that persuaded Sam Hammam that he was the correct man for the job.
Gould is believed to have formed a list of players he would hope to bring to Cardiff already, as the club hopes to ensure immediate promotion to the second division.

 Autobiography - ABR August 2001
Where Tom Collins's diary entries are given coherence by emphasis on place and recurrence of characters and themes, 'Billy Gould's' wavering annotations are tied together by the silent ministry of fish, one fish loosely allotted to each stage of the story — a novel in twelve fish.
Hammet's story of William Buelow Gould's story — in which the two become merged and, in the end, are metamorphosed into a fish — is a circuitous, distancing, horrified way of recording, examining and finally being explicit about the massacre of the Tasmanian Aborigines.
And because Gould, by accident, gains entry to the penal colony's records and there discovers the monstrous revisionism of history that has erased the truth, the story is also both a cry of anguish and a shout of protest against the manipulation and laundering of history.

 [No title]
Gould came into office riding a wave of controversy, stirred mostly by business groups and Republicans opposed to him.
Congress' reaction, Gould says, was to limit the NLRB's budget to no more than a 3 percent increase, not adjusted for inflation, over the last four years--a measure he terms "intimidation." As a result of the skimpy funding, the agency has been under a hiring freeze for all of 1998, he said.
The chairman's critics reply that Gould's complaints are inappropriate, incorrect and mostly made to boost the image of organized labor.

 Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish by Richard Flanagan - Reviewed by Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine v6n1
Billy Gould's diary, written on his own secret copy of the Book of Fish, tells horrific stories of the penal colony, many of which are true.
Yet Gould, a professedly uneducated orphan, is also surprisingly intelligent and well-read-- given, for example, to referring familiarly to the works of "Billy" Blake, Voltaire, Rousseau, Rene Descartes, Linnaeus and other such-like great men.
Flanagan is wonderfully inventive with Billy's language and madly (and, at times, maddeningly) inventive with Billy's experiences and actions, and the book begins as a romp but darkens in mood as it goes along.

William Buelow Gould was a forger and thief sentenced to life imprisonment in a penal colony in Van Diemen's Land—now Tasmania.
Gould's book was then lost and re-created, destroyed and hidden, and finally resurfaced in the present day, littered with Gould's scrawls recording his unutterably strange life—part freewheeling picaresque, part Gothic horror—and that of his country, a penal colony, settlement, and magical space populated by generals, visionaries, and madmen.

 Gould's Book of Fish
Billy Gould is as saintly as Billy Budd and as cravenly split as any of Dostoyevsky’s characters.
Gould’s fish are at once beautiful scientific paintings, with oddly human faces, as though the painter has smuggled something of the cruel world around him into those images.

William Gould, a liar, murderer and forger, was sent in 1828 to a remote penal colony.
Dear, sweet, silly Billy Gould and his foolish tales of love, so much love that it is not possible now, and was not possible then, for him to continue.
This weird record seemed to be that of a convict called William Buelow Gould who in the supposed interest of science was, in 1828, ordered by the surgeon of the penal colony of Sarah Island to paint all fish caught there.

 Gould's Book of Fish - Richard Flanagan
"Gould's Book of Fish is a virtuoso exercise in period pastiche, a prison diary, a caustic critique of colonialism, a raunchy Georgian picaresque romp taking in three continents, a study of insanity, a meditation on art and nature, and a witty, self-conscious postmodern construct.
The Gould of the title is an historical figure, a painter, and his marvelous fish-illustrations are reproduced here, one for each of the twelve sections of the novel.
And then begins Gould's Book of Fish, now telling the misadventures of the 19th-century convict Billy Gould (in a beautiful touch this part of the tale begins on page 41, noting "the first 40 pages of Gould's notebook are missing; his journal begins on page 41").

Gould's Book of Fish, an extraordinary work of fact-based fiction by Tasmanian author Richard Flanagan (Death of a River Guide) is a journey through the fringe madness of Down Under colonialism.
The text is penned by William Gould, a forger and thief (and an actual 19th-century convict) shipped from England to a Tasmanian prison run as a private kingdom by the Commandant, a lunatic tyrant in a gold mask rumored to have been a convict himself.
Gould finagles his way into the good graces of the island surgeon, Tobias Achilles Lempriere, a fat fanatic of natural science, who has Gould paint scientific illustrations of fish, with the goal of publishing the definitive ichthyological work on Sarah Island species.

Gould, being somewhat of an arrangement conductor in the 50's, manage to pull the stops out in how these two Copland pieces are to be presented-to where the listener can feel that they themselves are back in the Wild, Wild West of the 1880's.
They benefit not only from Gould's wonderful sensitivity and appreciation but from excellent playing by the "pickup" orchestra and the still remarkable "Living Stereo" recording process, in which RCA used only three microphones and advanced mastering techniques.
Billy the Kid and Rodeo were both etched in my soul when as a young boy I listened along with my mother.
