PHOTOGRAPH ABOVE shows the great A J Heschel marching with MLK at Selma. Heschel said, "When I marched in Selma, my feet were praying." One sun-walked in the light of Jewish teachings, the other of Christian teachings - many paths, one summit. Pity the one woman never gets a mention (anyone tell me the radiant nun's name?)

Tory chairman Eric Pickles addressed the Conservative conference with a rallying cry for "fair votes". If only he'd really meant it - but of course, he didn't.
Apparently Pickles' idea of fair votes means a boundary review - one that would help the Tories, naturally. But even without this constituency carve up, the Conservatives' share of seats will be wildly more than their share of votes. Re-arranging the seats is about as useful in this Parliament as it would be on the Titanic.Pickles doesn't want fairness - he just wants to re-allocate the unfairness. And even worse, he thinks that he and his fellow politicians should get to make that choice. The Tories' plans will be passed through a House of Commons that even they now admit is unfairly elected, and an unelected House of Lords that even they want to abolish.They're happy to spend this week discussing a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty - but not to give us a say on the most fundamental question of our democracy: our votes.If Pickles thinks that fair votes just means a helpful boundary change for the Tories, let him make his case. Not just to the Conservative Party conference or Tory MPs - but to the people. In a referendum. And then let us decide.But politicians like Pickles won't give up that power unless we make them. That's why we need you to sign up now - before Pickles gets to decide for us:http://voteforachange.co.uk/referendumHealing With Foods

Hirsute hero: David Beckham
Whether they are trying to prove their manliness, their style credentials, or it is just sheer laziness, there appears to be a rash of stubble among England's football stars.
No less than seven footballers have been sporting beards of late, ranging from young Theo Walcott's barely-there facial hair, to Michael Owen's carefully groomed stubble.
Naturally it is David Beckham who appears to have set the trend (Posh wouldn't have it any other way) - if only judging by the length of his beard. The newly hirsute 34-year-old showed off his new facial hair during Wednesday night's match against Belarus.
Whether the patchy result is intentional, or a stylist has carefully shaved around his cheekbones and chin is anyone's guess, but his look has clearly inspired his fellow players, with varying degrees of success.
Peter Crouch's smattering of bristles is unlikely to have found favour with girlfriend Abbey Clancy, while a heavily bearded David James is rivalling Beckham for the heaviest facial hair.
Joe Cole and Michael Owen have both got 'designer' stubble of the perfect length -we're sure it took far more effort than they'll ever let on. Theo Walcott and Ben Foster also appear to be in the early stages of achieving the trend.
But the football fraternity are not the first famous faces to try facial hair. Indeed the A-list have long been using beards as a means of masking their faces from the paparazzi.
Taking it on the chin: David James has a beard to rival Beckham's, while Peter Crouch's stubble is unlikely to find favour with girlfriend Abbey Clancy

Many of Hollywood's most handsome faces have even used a beard in an attempt to shake of their 'pretty boy' tag - why else would Brad Pitt grow that awful beard? And whatever happened to the beautiful Joaquin Phoenix?
Are you for or against such hairiness?
