These results fit into theories that say our place in family birth order w i l l i n f l u e n c eo u r p e r s o n a l i t ys, a i d FrederickT.L.Leong,co-authorof the study and professorof psychology at Ohio State University.'Parents rypically place different demands and have different expectationsof children depending on their birth o r d e r , ' L e o nsga i d . For example, parents may be extrernelyprotectiveof only children and rvorryabout their physicalsafety.

The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along transforming them from being the centre of attention,to then sharing the care of parents.Parentswill also expect them to be responsibleand 'set an example'.The change from being the focus of a family may b e q u i t e a s h o c k a n d s o s h a p et h e first-born's subsequent outlook on life. Therefore first-borns may try to get back their parents'attentionand approval by achieving successand recognition in their careers.lt has been noted that first-borns are significantly more often found as world politicalleadersthan any other birth order position. As they have more children,parents tend to become more open and relaxedand that may allow younger children to be more risk-taking,' Leong said.'lf the first-born or only child wants to be a poet, that may concern parents.But by the fourth child,parentsmay not mind as much.' Being the youngest in the family can sometimesbe a stifling and frustrating experience,especially if they're looking to be taken seriously and treated like an adult. The last-bornis more likely than the
other birth order positionsto take up d a n g e r o u s p o r t s . T h im s aybe a sign of the last-born'srebellious streak - a resultof being fed up with always being bossedabout by everyoneelse in the family. Middle children, however, have different issues. 'Middle child syndrome' can mean feeling sandwiched between two other 'more important' people - an older s i b l i n gw h o g e t s a l l t h e r i g h t sa n d i s treated like an adult and a younger sibling who gets all the privileges and is treated like a spoilt child. Middle-borns have to learn to get o n w i t h o l d e r a n d y o u n g e rc h i l d r e n , and this may contribute to them becoming good negotiators- of all the birth order positions they are most skilfulat dealingwith authority figures and those holding inferior positions. Leong said the biggest differences in the study were between only childrenand later-bornchildren.'Firstborn children are difficult to classify becausethey startout asonly children but latergive up that position.lt may be that the length of time a firstb o r n c h i l d i s a n o n l y c h i l d m a k e sa differencein his or her personality.'I

Suddenly,work was no longer structuredby seasons,but by the clock.Work was separated from the rest of life,and began to provide money ratherthan food and goods. More recently,the revolution in InformationTechnologyhas again changed the nature of work and employment. The workplaceitselfmay becomeredundant.Twomillionemployees in the UK now work from home,keepingin touch via email and phone. Many employerssay that working'remotely'improves productivity,as workers are happier and waste less time commuting.Thereare downsidestoo, however,as workerslose touch with the workplaceand peoplethere. We will undoubtedly have to accept that the nature of work has changed and will continue to do so. After all, we were conditioned into acceptingthe nine-to-fiveworking day and there is no reasonwhy we can't be conditionedinto accepting somethingelse.Thisarticlewas written at home in the country during burstsof hardwork interspersed with periodsof inactivity. Perhapsthat'sthe naturalwork-rhvthmto which we will return?

r
;
usannahwas apparentlyperfect,as the deadso often become.Shewas,it seemed, perfectiybeautiful,perfectlygood,and perfectly h"ppy during her comparativelyshort life. They said she met life with open arms, everpositive and optimistic. I do not believea word of this. How, after all, could she be happy,knowing she was likely to die soon,when shewas a mere thirty-one years old and I, her baby,was hardly six months old?
rt
I havea feelingthat the existenceof the memory box may have troubled my father from the beginning. He didn't give it to me until my twenty-first birthday eventhough it had been in our house all that time. Charlotteknew about :5 it, of course,but neither shenor my father could bring themselvesto mention it. I think they were both afraid of its significance.Also, I was a highly imaginative child and they simply didn't know how to introducethis memory box 20 into mv life.
25
Now, however,their nervousnessmakesme curious.What exactlywere they afraid of? Did they think I might be shocked, and if so why? At any rate, both of them were visibly on edge, almost guilty, when finally on the morning of my twenty-first birthday they told me about it. It was clearthey were relievedwhen I showedlittle interest in it. I said I didn't want to open it, or evenseeit.
This was a lie, and yet not a lie. The box did, in fact, make me curious evenif I found i wanted to suppressthe feeling.Aged ten, I don't think I would havebeen ableto. I'm sure I would havebeen too excitedat the thought that it might contain all sorts of treasures;and then around fifteen I d havefound it irresistiblyromantic and 3o would havebeen readyto weep on discoveringdried rosespressedbetweenthe pagesof meaningfulpoems.But at twenty-one I was very self-centred;my currositywas only slight and I could more easilydeny it. In fact, I felt a kind of nausea,at the notion of a dying woman choosingwhat to put in a box for me. Nevertheless,there was no doubt that it forcedme to think of Susannah.Grorvrngup, I could hardiy have thought of her less,wanting Charlotteto be my only mother. I rt'asalrvaysfunous if anyonereferredto her as my stepmother.However,Charlotteherselfwould try to calm me by pointing out that, whether I liked it or not, that was exactly what she was.
40
After Charlottedied, the hardestthing I had to do was go backinto our old home. For a whole month, I was obligedto go there day after day until everybit of furniture, everyobject,everybook and picture, everypieceof clothing, everylast curtain and cushionwas sorted out and readyto be collectedby all manner of people.This was, of course,how I found the box, eventhough I very nearlymissedit.

t 2p.m. on 24th November 1971., a middle-aged man of average height, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, dark glasses and a black tie, handed a $20 note to a clerk at the Portland airoort. asked for a oneway ticket and then boarded Flight 305 for Seattle. Identifying himself as Dan Cooper, he carried only a briefcase.Just before takeoff, he handed the flight attendant a note. Watching her put the note in her pocket, he 'Miss, said quietly, you'd better look at that note. I have a bomb.'The messagedemanded $200,000 and four parachutes - by 5p.m. To remove any final doubts, Cooper opened his briefcase and showed the flight attendant sticks of dynamite, attached to wire and a battery. As the plane circled over Seattle, the pilot, 'William Rataczak, quickly learned he was not dealing with an amateur. This man was totally single-minded.With
the confidence of
an army commander, Cooper told Rataczak that after the money and parachutes had been delivered, he wanted him to south from Seattle, fly no higher
head than
10,000 Get and leave the rear door open.

The planelandedin SeattleandbyTp.rn, it had refuelled and the parachutesand money were on board.The plane took off again a Gw minutes after 7.30p.rn. Then Cooper carefully collected all his cigarette ends, made sure he had all his handwritten notes and strapped the money bag to his body using cords he cut from one of the parachutes. At 8.12p.m,'we felt a little bump and the air pressure changed,' Rataczak said.And that wasthe lastfix on D. B. Cooper.The Air Force had sent up rwo F-106 fighter planesro chasethe Boeing 727 and try to keep Cooper's parachute in sight but they were too fast and had to keep making giant S-curvesin the sky.For the next few weeks, hundreds of federal agents,helped by Army troops, searchedaround the areaunder where Cooperjumped.A small submarine also searchednearby Lake Merwin. But they found nothing. In fact there was no concrete evidence of any kind until February 1980 when an Oklahoma boy, having a picnic with his family on the shoreof the Columbia River, cameacross a waterloggedbag containing 294 rnouldy g20 notes.The serial numbers matched those on the notes given to D.B. Cooper. This find got the FBII attention. Helicopters flew over the area, squadsof agents dug up the shore, searching for more notes, Cooper'sbody or parachutebut again,nothing. D.B.Cooper enteredthe history books asan authenticAmerican legend.'Theret a good reasonfor this,'saysLarry Goldfine, a Seattlelawyer who was sitting on Flight 305 that day.'ltwas rhe first skyjacking for money and then the skyjacker disappeared without atrace.No one washurt and it all happenedright under the nosesof the FBI'. Most people think D.B. gor awaywith it. The Cooper ofthe legendhasthe coolnessof a SteveMceueen or Clint Eastwood.In the end,no one haseverworked out just who he was - or is. In his enduring anonymiry he has inspired three books, a play,a film, a song and thousandsof D.B. Cooper bars and restaurants.Perhapsthe ultimate tribute is the annual 'D.B.

Silence,silence,'whispereda loud speaker. 'Silence, silence,'repeatedother loudspeakers at intervals along the corridor. The students and eventhe Director himself, without thinking, obeyedthe voicesand walked on the tips of their toes. They were Alphas, of course, but evenAlphas have been well conditioned. 'Silence, silence.'Theair of the fourteenthfloor was heavywith the whispered command. The Director carefully openeda door. They entered a room where the light was very low. Eighty little beds stood in a row againstthe wall. All that could be heard was light regular breathing and a continuous hum like the sound ofvery faint voicesspeakingsoftly at a great distance.
A nurse stood up as they entered. 'What'sthe lesson this afternoon?'theDirector askedquietly. 'Elementary ClassConsciousness,'she answered. The Director walked slowly down the long line of beds. In each one lay a child asleep.Eighty little boys and girls with pink, healthy faceslay there softly breathing. There was a whisper under everybedcover.'Elementary ClassConsciousness,did you say?Let's have it repeateda little louder by the loudspeaker.' At the end of the room a loud speakerhung on the wall. The Director walked up to it and presseda switch. '... all wear green,' said a soft but very distinct voice,beginningin the middle of a sentence,'and Delta Children wear light brown. Oh no, I don't want to playwith Delta children. And Epsilons are evenworse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such an ugly colour. I'm so glad I'm a Beta.' There was a pause,then the voice began again. 'Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, becausethey're so clever. I'm really very glad I'm a Beta,becauseI don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammasand Deltas. Gammasare stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear light brown. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are evenworse.' The Director pushed back the switch. The voice sank to the faintest of whispers which could just be heard from beneath the eighty bedcovers. 'They'll have that repeateda hundred and twenty times three times a week for thirty months while they are sleeping,then they go on to a more advancedlesson.Sleep-teachingis the most powerful force of all time in social education.The child's mind becomesthese suggestionsand the total of these suggestionsis the child's mind. And not only the child's mind. The adult's mind too, all his life long. The mind that thinks and desires and decides.But all thesesuggestionsare our suggestions!'TheDirector almost shoutedin his enthusiasm. 'Suggestions from the State.

The good old days? In last week's edition, Oliver Hughes lamented the 'the good old days'. According to him' passing of we now have identical high streets worldwide, local cultures have been eroded and national identities have all but disappeared.I, personally,couldn't believe how negativehis article was' I strongly disagreewith almost everything he said. Far from the uniformity he was describing,we now live in a world of incredible diversity and that can only be good. In the o1ddays,we were far more stereotypedand more pigeon-holed by our nationality or where we lived' You were an Italian in Italy, you were expectedto be, like 'an Italiad. The beauty of the new and do things like it can free people from the that is view international tyftflrry of geography.Just because someone lives in Francedoesnot mean they can only speakFrench,eat French food and listen to French music.We can now take it for granted that a Frenchman'or an American, persontakesholidaysin Spainor Florida' or aJapanese eatssushior spaghettifor dinner and has friends from aroundthe world.
I see this diversity and availability as an extremely good thing. Look at things on a local level. Oliver Hughes may think that every high street is the same'I peoplefrom many differentcountriesmay disagree.Yes, recognisesome of the shopsbut I can now go down my high street and I have choicel I can chooseto eat many different typesoffood. I can alsobuy clothesfrom shops originally from many different places:we've got shops Llke Zara from Spain and Muji from Japan, as well as countlessbrands from all over the world. Far from havinglimited choice;the choiceis almostendless. There is no doubt that in some ways the world is becoming more uniform but the significance of this uniformity is often exaggerated.Different cultures remain and we can chooseto be the sameor different' The truth is that we increasinglydefine ourselvesrather than let othersde{ineus. Being Italian or American or Polish doesnot define who you are:it is part ofwho you are.It seemsto me that most peoplewant the best of both worlds - old and new. Admit it, Oliver Hughes! Most of us want to haveour cakeAND eat it, dodt we? And maybewe canl Paul Hodge, London E5

I readOliver Hughes'article'Thegoodold days'lastweek with interest.Despite making some sensiblepoints' to my mind his argument is wildly oversimplified in saying that the old dayswere better.A1l too often nowadays,we heartheseblack and white opinionsabout'globalisation'' In my opinion, it's a gtey areaand there are important benefits aswell as someinevitable downsidesaswe move

of musical types.And alongsidethis incredible diversity now availableacrossthe world, in most countries' local artists still top the charts. So, local tastes are alive and well, AND evenmore variety is being created' Another point which Mr Hughes failed to convince me about was about English'taking over the world'as he put it. I dont think so! I agreethat huge numbersof people now speakEnglish:around380 million peoplespeakit as their first languageand another 250 million or so astheir second.However' in many cases'a new type of English has been created.Many people across the world now speaka'global English which facilitatescommunication in an *"r-shrinking' ever-more commercial world' People certainly dorit want a single world language,but global languagehas major advantagesfor u n.*.o*-on
