2001: Catholic leader Cardinal Winning dies

England have

The leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland has died suddenly at his Glasgow home.

Cardinal Thomas Winning collapsed in his bedroom at 0900 after suffering his second heart attack in 10 days.

The 76-year-old-cleric was found unconscious by his housekeeper and pronounced dead at Victoria Infirmary an hour later.

The hospital had released him only three days ago, and the Archbishop of Glasgow had walked back to his home in Newlands in apparently good health.


"Scotland has lost one of her greatest sons."Scottish First Minister Henry McLeish said.

Despite his often conservative views on abortion and homosexuality, Cardinal Winning was viewed as a champion of social justice and was once dubbed by the Pope as a "man of the people".

The chancellor of the Glasgow archdiocese, Monsignor Peter Smith, said he would be much missed by Scotland's 750,000 Catholics.

"The Cardinal arrived home on Friday and was in great form - he was his usual witty and humorous self. This has been a great shock to the entire community," he said.

And other tributes have poured in from around the UK.

The Queen said he had made distinguished contribution to Scottish public life and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair praised his "strong moral leadership".

The search for a successor will begin in the next few days, but Scottish First Minister Henry McLeish said he would be a difficult man to replace.

"The nation will miss Tom Winning - I will miss him. Scotland has lost one of her greatest sons," he said.

1964: Japan trade fair floats into London

Artificially 1969:
The The first purpose-built floating trade fair has docked at Tilbury in London with 22,000 samples of Japanese goods on board.

The Sakura Maru will remain in London for four days, during which time 18,000 businessmen and women and 10,000 members of the public are expected to visit the show.

The floating trade fair will continue on a tour of Europe, which is costing the Japanese Government and exhibitors ?00,000.

The trip is intended more as a public relations exercise than as a way of boosting sales. Since World War II, Japan has established an enviable reputation for low price and high quality.

Innovative products

The Japanese have really made a name for themselves in the electronics industry and there are plenty of examples of innovative products on show aboard the Sakura Maru.

The exhibition has been planned so each deck carries heavier products than the one above. A transistor radio set the size of two pennies is on display beside a portable television set so small it can be held between the thumb and forefinger of one hand and can be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket of a car.

Perhaps one of the mostfuturisticproducts on board is a public telephone which can transmit pictures of the person you are talking to through a small screen in the phone booth.

There is a deck devoted to the Japanese motor industry, which contains not only the latest model cars, but also motorbikes and even bicycles.

The lowest level contains textile, agricultural and other machinery in full working order. There is an automaticloomfor making nylon fishing nets which has already been sold to Norway, France and West Germany.

The ship itself is also for sale - an exact replica can be built for ?.5m.

Next year a British industrial exhibition is going to Japan to promote trade between the two countries. The show is being billed as the biggest ever western exhibition to visit Asia.

Vocabulary:
 

futuristic:being ahead of the times; innovative or revolutionary(超前的;領(lǐng)先的)

loom:an apparatus for making thread or yarn into cloth by weaving strands together at right angles(織布機(jī))
