UK newsObsessive whose life of fantasy ended in deadly realityDando killer Barry George was an oddball loner fixated by women, celebrities - and gunsSpecial report: the Jill Dando case
Barry George yearned to be Gary Glitter, posed as an SAS soldier and pretended to be a professional stuntman. He insisted he was the cousin of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of his favourite band, Queen.
The question for the jurors was whether this serial fantasist who craved attention could have found the notoriety that had previously eluded him in another, more chilling role: Jill Dando's killer.

Waterhouses small-breasted Nymphs are not girls | Art
ArtLettersWaterhouse’s small-breasted Nymphs are not girlsMary Hayward takes Manchester Art Gallery to taskThe lessons of the Hylas affair (The Nymphs and me, G2, 20 March) are threefold. First, works in art galleries should not be arranged according to what the curators think they are about. The dividing line between telling visitors what they ought to think and telling them what they ought not to think (which is censorship) is narrow and easily crossed.

Jose Harris obituary | History books
History booksObituaryJose Harris obituaryHistorian of the British welfare state and biographer of its architect William BeveridgeJose Harris, who has died aged 82, was the author of a magnificent biography of William Beveridge that established her as the pre-eminent historian of the British welfare state. In that book, published in 1977, just 14 years after its subject’s death, she blew apart cherished narratives about the architect of the welfare state.
She showed that Beveridge’s vision of a universal insurance-based system was poles apart from the kind of welfare state that Britain actually had in the 1970s, which retained a strong means-tested element.
