out of 'immediate danger' after surgery
Israel's

out of immediate danger after emergency surgery to remove part
of his intestines but doctors warn his chances of survival are

massive stroke, Mr. Sharon underwent a four-hour operation to
remove around a third of his largest intestine after doctors
had detected significant swelling to his abdomen overnight.

21st August sees
the anniversary of the Battle of Dunkeld. An army of Jacobite
highlanders, flush from their recent victory at Killiecrankie,
came up against the newly-formed Cameronian regiment recruited
from lowland Covenanters. The Cameronians took up positions
near the cathedral and, when their ammunition ran out, took
lead from the roof to use for bullets. The Cameronians then
burned virtually every house in the city, while the
highlanders fled.
