26 The Old Man of Halsall Moss (cover story)

36 Wild Talent: Lowry, Fort and Magic
Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano is one of the 20th century's greatest novels, although the crucial influence of Charles Fort on its author's life and work is seldom mentioned. RUTH CLYDESDALE sets the record straight.
48 Rest in Pieces
We usually think of death as the end of the story, but sometimes it's the start of a whole new one. BESS LOVEJOY has been chronicling the curious fates of famous corpses; here she relates the post-mortem adventures of some of the 20th century's key political figures
