| | | | Politician's biography reveals long 'secret' affair |
| [Norwaynews] [30.08.2007, 11:46pm, Thu. GMT] |
| Two new biographies of a former top Labour Party politician, who went on to head Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK), shed interesting light not just on the politician's own life, but on how the Norwegian media functions as well. Einar Førde, who died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 61, was a legend of sorts within Norway's Labour Party. He was attached to its radical faction, was a long-time member of Parliament and rose to be both a government minister and, ultimately, the powerful position of kringkastingssjef: boss of Norway's equivalent of the BBC. Førde was also a brash, tough-talking and vastly self-assured man who seemed to enjoy nurturing a reputation for womanizing, while also reportedly worrying that his extra-marital affairs limited his career advancement. |

The eye of Dean, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, passed between St Lucia and Martinique, two eastern Caribbean islands less than 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) apart, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. |

| [Norwaynews] [30.08.2007, 11:20pm, Thu. GMT] |
| Donning a backpack and going for a hike is deeply engrained in the Norwegian culture. A little girl up north took the national pastime to heart, much to her mother's dismay. The four-year-old girl apparently woke up in the middle of the night, climbed out of bed and decided it was time for a midnight stroll. She put on her playclothes (pink), slung a backpack over her shoulders and set off into the newly returned darkness of a late summer night in Tromsø, northern Norway. |

The Asker and Baerum District Court in Oslo, Norway, which ruled in an alleged theft and corruption case against Tor Egil Kjelsass, a former employee of Scancem International ANS, last September, has noted that even though it was evident that huge sums of monies were transferred to ostensibly bribe Ghanaian and other African political leaders in the 1990s, it was difficult to lay blame on the accused.
It said Scancem International ANS would have unraveled the mystery surrounding the alleged scandal if it had, for instance, enquired from Mr. Paul Victor Obeng, a former ‘Prime Minister’ of Ghana, if he had received any monies. |
