  Michael Powell - Obituary from The Independent (UK)
That was the American director Martin Scorsese expressing his admiration for the cinema of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (quoted from his introduction to Ian Christie's "Arrows Of Desire", the first full-length study of the writing-producing-directing partnership).
Having frequently acknowledged Powell's influence on his own work - however unlikely such affinity may appear to the casual spectator - Scorsese clearly did not regard his encomium as merely the chore of a professional prefacer, the sort of dutiful tribute one artist is expected to pay to another.
Powell's circuitous trajectory towards greatness that was belatedly thrust upon him began in Canterbury, where he was born in 1905.

 Michael Latham Powell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Latham Powell (September 30, 1905-February 19, 1990) was a British film director, renowned for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger which produced a series of classic British films.
Powell was born in Bekesbourne, Kent, and educated at King's School, Canterbury and then at Dulwich College.
Although proponents would argue that Powell ought to rank alongside Hitchcock and Lean as one of the greatest British film directors, his career suffered a severe reversal after the release of the confronting psychological thriller film Peeping Tom in 1960 as a solo effort.

 Peeping Tom (1960) - Michael Powell
Powell's project was to make visible on the screen the invisible, the intuitive, and the hidden in human life through films that were 'composed' out of all the aesthetic elements of the cinema.
Set in contemporary London, which Powell evokes in a lush, colorful seediness, this film presents Mark as much victim as villain and implicates the audience in his scopophilic activities as we become the spectators to his snuff film screenings.
Powell's film was reviled upon release, and it practically destroyed his career, ironic in light of the acclaim and success that greeted Psycho, but Powell's picture hit a little too close to home with its urban setting, full color photography, documentary techniques, and especially its uneasy connections between sex, violence, and the cinema.

Latham, elected as Labor leader six months ago and neck-and-neck with Howard's government in polls ahead of elections later this year, is standing by his troop withdrawal policy despite the pressure from the United States.
Latham denied that the possibility of keeping some Australian troops in Iraq after Christmas to protect Australian officials represented a watering down of his policy.
Latham, who once described Bush as "dangerous and incompetent" over his Iraq policy, has said he supports the Australia-U.S. alliance but does not see it as a rubber stamp.

 Michael Powell - Entry from "Contemporary Authors"
Powell cites his insistence on proceeding with the project as the reason he was never considered for knighthood in his home country.
Powell's air of voluptuous self-indulgence, his lingering over meticulously reconstructed childhood incidents and landscapes, bespeaks such a pleasant state of mind that one puts up with the book's inordinate length; the author is too clearly enjoying himself for anyone to want to stop him.
Powell's memory was idiosyncratic, and this book is deeply flawed (as was the first volume) by factual errors.

When the title to goods is in dispute, the person claiming title is privy to a judgment declaring ownership as between third parties, for the purposes of the doctrine of estoppel per rem judicatam, only if the title he claimed was acquired after the date of the judgment.

 Tim Blair: MOORE DEFENDED!
"Latham has a ball," reports the Sydney Morning Herald, striving as always for accuracy.
When Latham said "Bush himself is the most incompetent and dangerous President in living memory", he meant it respectfully.
The ball he was apparently kicking around, ended up in the water (see the SMH pic of a forlorn ball floating in the sea, and an equally forlorn bunch of kids looking at Marky, who seems embarrassed).
