July's first light dusting of white over the Andes signals a change of season

Columnist Comments
• Robert Fisk: Why do we keep letting the politicians get away with lies?
How on earth do they get away with it? Let's start with war between Hizbollah and Israel – past and future war, that is.
• Lindy McDowell: Ulster-Scots Hillbillies may shape US politics
This week a television report about how the voters in the Appalachia region of the US could be crucial in swinging the US presidential election threw out some interesting facts. One of them dental.
• David Healy: Liverpool set to raise their Standard
I know Liverpool fans were disappointed with their side’s performance against Standard Liege in the Champions League in midweek.
• Victoria Brown: My husband has been kidnapped and sent to prison in Mexico
Recent readers of my husband Cooper's column will undoubtedly know that he was having some problems with the immigration authorities here in the United Kingdom.
• Eamonn McCann: What if Mormons are right and Catholics and Protestants wrong?

The practice has a significant history within mainstream Christianity. The decision to order its abandonment was taken only after heated debate, and was a close-run thing.
• Frances Burscough: I ran as far as I could but Bolt still caught up with me in end
There was only one place on earth to be last week as the athlete Usain Bolt bolted his way to triumph at the Olympic Games. And it wasn’t Beijing.|On the other side of the world, the entire island of Jamaica was cheering and toasting and singing and dancing ... and I was there, slap, bang in the middle of it all joining in the celebrations even though 24 hours earlier I’d never even heard of the fella.
