THE GUARDIAN Saturday October 12 1991 ARTS, PERSONAL 21 Cops, robbers, and a system that a law unto itself A face that doesn't fit In the end we get the kind of law we deserve. Michael Billington on David Hare's stylish indictment of crime and punishment nineties-style Adam Sweeting first-act climax, beautifully staged by Richard Eyre, than the one here. In a tremendous triptych, we simultaneously see McKinnon languishing in his prison-cell, the promoted, bent cop setting off for a celebratory game of snooker and the flash QC and Irina settling into a plush Co-vent Garden stall. It is typical of Hare's tight-knit structure that the opera in question is The Magic Flute which deals with trials, freemasonry and the final triumph of light over darkness. No play is flawless; and once or twice I was reminded of Ba-gehot's description of Dickens as a "sentimental radical." Irina's crusading zeal is weakened, rather than strengthened, by her apparent sexual affection for the wronged McKinnon.

Hare's wit, at its best Wil-dean, also sometimes seems prejudiced. "If you run the country," asks Irina, "is it compulsory to go to the opera in the evening?" Better, I would argue, an Establishment that goes to Mozart than not. But this is to cavil at a play that combines the play's legal accuracy: what impresses me is Hare's moral fervour and campaigning theatricality. Mr Eyre and his designer, Bob Crowley, have also brilliantly found a way of staging the play that echoes its main theme. The Olivier stage is dominated by giant triple screens on to which close-up images of prison, police station and barrister's chambers are projected.

But, as connections are gradually forged, so the pictures acquire high-definition harmony as in a remarkable panorama of Crystal Palace. Eyre also directs the key con-fronations with admirable stillness allowing the words to do the work. In a 25-strong cast there are signally impressive contributions from Lesley Sharp as the inquisitive constable, Alphon-sia Emmanuel as the unbudge-able lawyer, Richard Pasco as a paternalistic QC, Michael Bryant as a wickedly impish judge, Keith Allen as an unscrupulous copper and Paul Moriarty as a long-suffering desk-sergeant But what really cheers me is to find Hare chasing, with such stylish anger, after the big public issues and the National bombastic, and eschews the lavish four-gallons-oftcream-and-a-lagoon-of-fat extravaganzas which roll ponderously off the Roux Brothers' production lines. His cultured English with a sprinkling of his native Swiss makes him the Poirot of gastronomes. This week, as the capital quaked under the impact of the sumo wrestlers, Anton looked at Japanese food.

Tinkering with plasticky cubes of tofu, he enthused: "Tofu is very healthy, full of protein, and no fat whatsoever! Where's the sake?" To drown the taste, of course. He insisted that salmon Sashimi was delicious, advised viewers to practise before attempting to serve the Japanese rolled omelette with seaweed for guests, and praised Japanese-style presentation really understand zat zur first bite eez wiz your It looked great, but you still won't catch me eating any of it THE first of a new series of Clive Anderson Talks Back (C4) had been cunningly designed to show off the host to maximum effect The brainy barrister tap-danced nimbly all around Gerald Kaufman, goading him mercilessly while Kaufman doggedly stuck to the thankless task of trying to show that politicians can toe the party line ble preens himself on getting McKinnon and his partners convicted even when his girlfriend, WPC Sandra Bingham, starts asking awkward questions. What is fascinating is the way Hare gradually breaks down the barriers separating these three worlds. And it is no accident that it is women, excluded from clannish male values, who act as the unremitting seekers after truth. One of Hare's key points, in fact, is that each area of the law subscribes to the team ethic.

The judiciary, with its arcane collegiate rituals.is seen as an exclusive, mainly masculine club. The cops, too, have their own private code of loyalty. And even in prison, Hare shows McKinnon getting savagely beaten up for betraying the criminal freemasonry. In short, Hare sees the law as a microcosm of British society: 4 Tfi HIS is the major II British sympho-JL nist," declared Norman Lebrecht, pulling no punches in Malcolm Arnold At 70 (Omnibus, BBC1). Other witnesses were less dramatic, but equally convinced that a considerable talent had been shamefully sidelined.

Radio 3's Piers Burton-Page said Arnold's Ninth Symphony (or at any rate, its last movement) was "a great composer speak ing to us of things deep in his heart, and it needs to be heard." It still hasn't been, though, outside a handful of Arnold's friends and supporters. How did Arnold make him self so unfashionable? Well, he doesn't really look the part of the Very Serious Composer. Conducting a sea-front brass band, he resembled a man trapped on a piece of complicated gymnasium equipment set to FAST, while any lingering aspirations towards high seriousness must have been dashed by his jam-session with The Chieftains. The man who scored Bridge On The River Kwai has never been teeth-gratingly modern enough for the modernists, and apparently his music is insufficiently solemn to get added to the Traditionalist playlist He has had one or two addi tional problems. He was diag nosed schizophrenic at 21 and has been trying to commit suicide regularly ever since, in between bouts of drinking and fornication.

He wishes he'd died before he got old. Does he know Ciuns Hoses may be looking for a new guitarist? Omnibus had managed the tricky feat of wringing great pathos out of Arnold's story, while also standing up a solid case for a re-examination of his work. It was enough to make you stroll down to HMV for a browse through the As. No such doubts and misun derstandings for Anton Mosl-mann (Naturally, C4), who seems to be soaring steadily up the Celebrity Super-chef (adder.

But although David Hare's projected trilogy about British institutions beginning with Racing Demon and now continuing with Murmuring Judges at the Olivier was partly triggered by seeing The Plantagenets, his new play is no simple Cade-like crack at the law. It is, in fact, an immensely rich, subtle and complex play about the rigid com-partmentalisation of the judiciary, the police and the prison system. Hare's skill, however, lies in the way he dramatises his discovery. He presents us, initially, with three distinct worlds. In one we see an Ulster fall-guy, McKinnon, despatched to a vilely overcrowded gaol for his part in a warehouse robbery.

In the seductive world of chambers, a star QC washes his hands of the case though his inquisitive black junior, Irina Piatt, scents an injustice. And in a busy South London cop-shop a young detective-consta The Barbican Meirion Bo wen Takemitsu Signature AMONG the main musical ingredients of the current Japan Festival is the Takemitsu Signature, a series which runs until Sunday at the Barbican centred upon Japan's best known composer.

Still. Kaufman wasn't much less amusing than a slightly muffled French Saunders, who tried to ridicule the idea of coming on a chat-show to promote their new book while ap- pearing on a chat-show to promote their new book, and was much preferable to the rather nauseating Dr George Dodd, who researches into smells at Warwick University. Dr Dodd had brought some horrid smells with him, as well as some matching off-colour jokes.

I leave it to others to judge lier part of this piece, presenting long-limbed melodies in veiled, diaphonous orchestration, was more effective than the later section, after its main climax, when a Cat-alonian folk song came exclusively to the foreground. Takemitsu's work was interpreted with great finesse by the two soloists and the LSO under Michael Til son Thomas.

With Peter Donohoe as solo pianist, the wind and percussion of the LSO had started the programme with a trenchant reading of the Messiaen work that nevertheless neglected its range of dynamic contrasts. As a kind of sorbet between courses, Oliver Knus-sen's two-minutes-long Flourish With Fireworks a recycling of early, Stravtn-sky, Janacek and Prokofiev was twice executed with Advocating "self-deliverance" spent more and more time on horseback. Then one day breast cancer was diagnosed. It opened up a nightmare for both of them. Was Jean's Way about to become Ann's Way? Derek cracked under the strain and walked out.

Allegation and counter-allegation were aired on the national airways. Here was grist to the null for those who viewed Hemlock as a too prosperous dealer in the art of death. Ann underwent chemo therapy and the cancer was staved off. She launched a $7 million libel action against sisted by two servants. All the others who attend there fly from such a nuisance.

He is jealous to such a degree that neither there or at home she is ever out of his sight All the avenues to her room; excepting through his own, are barricaded.

Having survived a creative nadir during which inklings of their imminent demise Hemlock Society founders Ann Derek and Hemlock. They lived at opposite ends of a smallish American town, but didn't see each other in the last two years. Final Exit, his manual on "self deliverance and assisted published earlier this year, has topped the best-seller list for several weeks with sales approaching half a million. Last week, Ann's lawyers withdrew from the libel action, apparently seeing no chance of success. The next day she disappeared into the mountains.

She was one of the best informed people in America on how to fix a lethal dose.

But Hare's great theatrical virtue is that he doesn't just tell: he shows. It is hard, in fact, to imagine a more exhilarating Celestial City provided a good context for a first encounter with Takemitsu's Vers l'arc en ciel, Palma. This was Takemitsu's homage to the Catalan artist Joan Miro, whom he met at Expo 70 in Japan, though the piece offered no musical equivalent to the aggressive, atavistic shapes and colours that have stamped themselves upon contemporary design, almost to the same extent as Stravinsky's rhythms.

Takemitsu's composition was more a kind of post-Debussy an tone poem, with picturesque contributions from guitar (played here by Julian Bream) and obo d'amore (played by Roy Carter). Takemitsu's music like Debussy's is generally at its best when it suggests more than it states: thus the ear school at 14, soon after the war, he climbed with much intelli gence to the highest rungs of British journalism. There was little room for weakness or error. Ann's father was a Bos ton banker. After her first degree, she taught in Biafra for the Canadian Peace Corps, returning on the outbreak of the civil war to do an English masters in Toronto.

There was a short-lived marriage to a lawyer, with reports of suicide attempts. She came to England a troubled woman seeking a vocation. I have happy memories of Ba-bette's Feast-like lunches at their cottage in De Beauvoir Town, north London. But she was not happy in England. They decamped to California, where they found that assisted suicide was not frowned on.

There they co-founded the Hemlock Society, offering advice on "self-deliverance" to the aged and the terminally ill. It became an enormous success, largely due to Humphry's flair for publicity and organisational skills. His wife remained in the background, playing an invalu able role editing and writing books on active euthanasia. But her heart was not in it in the same way. Her involvement led to a ghoulish episode which created more tensions in the marriage.

Her book Double Exit is a bare-knuckled, fictionalised account of how she and Derek helped Ann's ageing parents to die. She didn't like her mother. "I know she's not ready to die," she wrote, "but she will never be ready to die because her entire life has been an accumulation of unhappy unfounded suspicions, endless regrets." They moved up-coast to Eugene, in Oregon, where Hemlock's expanding fortunes could be handled in a more relaxed fashion. Ann bought a farm with her inheritance and and one is commonly open, the discharge from this supposed to be necessary for his existence. Whenever it ceases, he is ill indeed.

That is his case at present, but he will not stay at home. He goes every evening to the theatre, where he sits in the corner of the box in a drowsy posture, but is frequently obliged by sickness to his stomach to retire to the common and much frequented corridore.

SI, sleet Sn, snow; sunny; Th, thunder, (Previous day's readings) Richard Pasco in Murmuring were not dispelled by the appearance of a Best Of album, the Furs have signed to eastwest, and recently released World Outside, their best album in aeons. Blam! Suddenly those scowling guitars and semi-detached Goth keyboards sound quite sprightly again, while Richard Butler's voice was never huskier. Alive onstage, Butler resembles a refugee from the pages of Evelyn Waugh, absently scratching his tousled hair as if troubled by fleas. His gangling form and languid, patrician gestures evoke some distant estate over which the sun permanently sets while the staff are always threatening to quit. They don't understand the young master's gallant but doomed effort to hold back the tide of techno-trivia Wickett and Derek Humphry sons can be learnt from the sad and frustrated life of Ann Wickett Had she married a stockbroker instead of a bereaved, campaigning journalist she would not now be the subject of an obituary.

The Furs excel in short bursts, teaming up Here Come Cowboys and President Gas for a bracing double measure of flat-out throb, and placing Get A Room in pole position in the slow-and-moody section.

The latter is the best song off the new album and was the best of the night too, Butler with a little help from a sawing cello hoarsely managing to evoke a lifetime flashing past In between, they can be frustratingly erratic, mixing up powerful songs like Ghost In You or India with duds and nonentities. But how awful a slick, arena-style Psychedelic Furs would be. English Heritage should adopt them, pronto. Patrick McGrath History man of Bristol "PROFESSOR Patrick "Paddy" McGrath, who has died aged 77, was one of Bnstors most eminent histo rians, and a dedicated teacher who was taking classes until the day before his death. For more than 30 years he was secretary or general editor of the Bristol Record Society.

Thanks to his tireless activity, there is no other city in the kingdom which can boast a series of 75 pamphlets on the many facets of its history. He also edited the first series of the records' section of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Ar chaeological Society and served as its president His formidable achievement was to inspire and cajole wayward authors, and negotiate the arcane ways of provincial puDUsnmg tirms. He made notable contribu tions in his specialist field of the history of Bristol's mercantile community in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and he wrote the definitive history of the city's Merchant Venturers. He was also a lifelong student of the history of Elizabethan Catholicism an interest that sprang from a robust faith. He was a Londoner by birth.

After graduating from London University, teaching for a few years and. serving with the King's African Rifles during the war, he joined Bristol University in 1946, where he was to remain for the rest of his life. For very many years he and the city archivist also ran an evening class on the city's records. By both pupils and colleagues he was highly respected. Many of them owed much to his kindly encouragement and his scrutiny of their work.

But perhaps most of all was admired for his fearlessness in the, pursuit of justice. He developed formidable skills as a public campaigner, in later life in defence of the interests of his locality (Keynsham) against marauding commercial and governmental interests. Finally, Paddy himself would be the first to add that he owed all to the support of Sheila, one of his earliest university stu dents, wnom he married in 1950. They had a bountiful fam ily of five girls and two boys. David Large Patrick McGrath, born Febru ary 2, 1914; died October 8.

1991 NN Wickett described fg herself and her aims in the New States 7ia man's lonely hearts column as "attractive blonde, piquant, 33, about-to-be-divorced, PhD student (but not at all heavy into academia), seeks compatible male, 35 or older, interesting, keen mind, good sense of humour, type to put his feet up on the furniture. Objective? Friendship, camaraderie, or more, if chemistry so encourages." For Derek Humphry, recently widowed, the chemistry seemed to work, and they were quickly married. She pursued her doctorate on Carl Jung at the Shakespeare Institute in Birmingham, he continued as race relations correspondent on Harold Evans's Sunday Times. Last week, 15 years on, Ann rode her favourite horse into the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, let him loose with enough oats to be going on with, swallowed an overdose of drugs, leaned up against a tree and died. Were it the stuff of Greek tragedy, the Fates would be wheeled in as justification.

On the surface of her handsome countenance she seemed capable of weathering any storm. But this was an emotional cauldron. Humphry had killed his first wife in a death pact, when her cancer was entering the final stage. It was an act of humanity, but it was also a crime. Ann, who had a degree in psychology, persuaded him to write a book about it.

"She talked me through, teasing out the complexities," Humphry recalls. Her role in Jean's Way was acknowleged on the cover. The book caused a certain notoriety, but the DPP declined to prosecute. Their backgrounds could not have been more different. Humphry grew up in modest circumstances in Bath.
