Diary: Scottish humble pie, giant dice for high jinks, and Northern Soul

2 July 2004

Who ate all the humble pies? Scots arts minister Frank McAveety apparently, who missed parliamentary questions while lunching on a pie and was forced to apologise to his MSP colleagues. Diary hears that McAveety was dragged from the the Scottish Parliament canteen to answer questions on behalf of the Scottish Executive - but instead of owning up managed to make matters worse by blaming his tardiness on an overrunning literary event. At least the whole episode should help the minister as he strains to show that he still has the common touch, despite his high-falutin' brief.

Opinion: The Polish flair for design - a hard act to beat

2 July 2004

Warsaw remains the most amazing urban regeneration story in modern history - perhaps all history. Because its people rose against Hitler in 1944, he vowed to raze it to the ground. The Red Army, encamped on the other side of the River Vistula, did nothing. When Hitler had finished, the city was 87 per cent destroyed. As war ended and people began to make a new life among the ruins, the city took an almost insanely romantic decision. Instead of doing mundane things like building prefabs, planners started to reconstruct the Old Town, the city's Renaissance heart. They had old drawings and paintings, including a series of Canalettos - not the Venetian Canaletto, but his nephew Bernardo Bellotto who confused everyone by borrowing the name.
