|Nevin; american nukes

Monday Oct 22
Interesting things this weekend: Pat Nevin, ex Chelsea footballer describing his politics as 'rather like my football: hanging around on the left wing not doing very much.' Roughly how I see myself, though I can't play football.
That was on Radio 5live, which is also where I heard about the four American military bigwigs being stood down for flying live nuclear warheads about over America without authorisation.
This story really was played down among the great tales of English sporting derring-do (ie heroic failure, Hamilton, rugby etc). But there is a Times online link to it, headlined US hits panic button - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article2702800.ece
