But in Uganda: delirium.”You are wel-come! You are wel-come! Welcome to Se-gu-ku!” sang the hundreds of pupils of the Seguku Primary School, clad either in vivid traditional clothing or rose-coloured uniforms, dancing as they sang.Mrs Clinton, who was accompanied by her daughter Chelsea, 17, observed earnestly: “There is nothing more important than investing in the education of boys and girls. The economic and democratic transitions that are taking place now in Africa will succeed only if African children are educated.”It was the first ever visit to Uganda by a sitting US first lady, and the first visit to the country in many years by any high-ranking US official. The government, in a country with an average per capita income of roughly pounds 150, was anxious to make a lasting impression.The education minister, Amanya Mushega, told Mrs Clinton: “When you go back, be a friend to Uganda Be our friend in the White House and Congress. Remember the African child.”Among the key issues which Mrs Clinton was seeking to raise with the African governments was the need for more rights for women in business and public office.But Janet Museveni, wife of the Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni, said that Western “developments” – such as sex before marriage – were not always best for a country like Uganda.

She was referring to the Aids epidemic which has claimed 500,000 Ugandan lives, with 1.5 million of the 14 million population carrying the HIV virus Ian Burrell. The ramifications of Nick Faldo’s shock victory at last year’s US Masters, when he overturned a six-shot deficit to beat Greg Norman by five, continue. Instead of sitting down to shark or kangaroo in Augusta the week after next, all the former winners will be served a traditional British fish supper. Faldo (right), a three-time Masters champion, has ordered pounds 2,000 worth of cod to be flown in from Grimsby, to be served with chips and mushy peas. Each Tuesday of Masters week, the previous year’s winner hosts the Past Champions Dinner in the Augusta National clubhouse and gets to set the menu. After his two other victories, Faldo chose steak and kidney pie and shepherd’s pie Of his fish supper he said: “I hope the guys like it The mushy peas are coming from Harry Ramsdens. At least they are green, so they should be okay at Augusta.”
In what was an almost exclusively US club for many years, past champions have had to get used to a varied diet – 11 of the last 19 winners have been from outside the US.Bernhard Langer had spatzle (German noodles) in 1985, while Jose-Maria Olazabal served fish in 1994.

Ian Woosnam’s menu after his victory in 1991 was leek and potato soup, leg of lamb marinated with Welsh mead and honey, and apple sponge with Amaretto.But the company was shocked when Sandy Lyle served up haggis “It was funny to watch … they were all acting like schoolkids, pushing it around with their forks,” recalled the Scot Andy Farrell. Miami (AP) – A 10-month-old Italian girl is in good condition after receiving seven transplanted organs at a hospital in Miami. Eugenia Borgos of Genoa received a new liver, pancreas, stomach, large and small intestines and two kidneys during a 16-hour operation at Jackson Children’s Hospital

Doctors say the baby’s prognosis is good. But her mother, Frederica, says, “We don’t know anything about the future I’m very wary. The best thing for me is to think for today and for tomorrow.”
Eugenia, who suffered from a rare congenital defect interfering with her ability to absorb nutrients, was the second big transplant patient at the hospital in a week.

Julianne Prudhomme, four, of Idaho, suffered a narrowing of the intestines and needed a new liver, stomach, pancreas and intestines. Doctors said she is recovering quickly, Julianne’s mother, Penny Huffman, said she differed from Mrs Borgos: “We want everyone to know about this, about organ donation .. we’re looking to the future.”. Female graduates are earning 16 per cent less than their male counterparts and the gap between the sexes is continuing to grow, a student survey reveals. The research, carried out by Barclays Bank, claims the average starting salary for men is pounds 13,660, while women get just pounds 11,749. And while London graduates are fairly affluent, those working in the Midlands have the worst wages in the country. Despite 9 per cent more women achieving top-class degrees in 1996 than the previous year, almost twice as many men than women are in graduate training schemes which tend to offer higher salaries There is some good news, however. The increase in graduates’ debt appears to be slowing, with just a 9 per cent rise to an average pounds 3,203, compared to a 31 per cent rise in 1995 Nicole Veash.
