	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| Always the odd woman out
		Short was always the odd woman out in Tony Blair's smooth and careful cabinet, a big, dark, untidy woman with a gravelly Birmingham drawl whose truculence survived the New Labour makeover.
		Short is the woman who stands at the dispatch box in the Commons with a look that says "who's asking?".
		It was Short's influence which led Blair to describe Africa as a "a scar on the conscience of the world".

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Short spearheads rebellion with threat to quit over war
		Tony Blair was last night facing the opening of floodgates to a catastrophic rebellion in his own ranks, as Clare Short, the international development secretary, warned that she would quit the cabinet if there was no second UN resolution supporting war in Iraq.
		Ms Short, who appeared on the programme at her request, added that she feared that the old misleading spin was back.
		Mr Blair has worked tirelessly to keep Ms Short in the cabinet, regularly briefing her separately on the state of negotiations at the UN and with Washington.

	Downing Street Says...: Clare Short
		Put to him that Ms Short had 'cocked a snook' at the authority of Sir Andrew and that something should be done about it, the PMOS said that the authority of the Cabinet Secretary rested upon the fact that he acted in accordance with proper procedure.
		Put to him that Ms Short had responded, in terms, to the letter and that the ball was now in Downing Street and the Cabinet Secretary's court, the PMOS said it was a fact of life that Ms Short had chosen to publicise the Cabinet Secretary's letter.
		Short's breach of Privy Council confidence is a minuscule offence in comparison to what cabinet ministers of both parties have been doing for forty years.

		Claire Hooton's introduction to t'ai chi is easy to follow, well-thought through, and professionally produced--the perfect asset for any beginning student interested in using t'ai chi to improve his or her physical and spiritual well-being.
		She begins with a short interview-style lecture on the benefits of t'ai chi, an exercise that builds health, increases longevity, and "wakes up our sense of being a part of nature." Soon, viewers are taught the basic principles of posture, breathing, weight distribution, and the dynamic relaxation that gives the form its power.
		Claire first demonstrates the movements that you'll practice first then with the assitance of two of her students you go through those movements again, and in the same method as if you were taking a class.

		Short immediately defended herself, saying "I am not", to which Blair quickly retorted, "Are too".
		The dispute continued in this vein for several minutes until Short interrupted that "at least [she] can make a song and dance" unlike Blair, whom she claimed had "all the rhythm of a flat tax accountant" and Prescott who "dances like a loose baboon".
