oped symptoms of
intoxication, such as markedly dilated pupils,
spontaneous laughter and delirium. The progression
of symptoms was experienced as wave-like, with
cycles of increasing and fading intensity. In
addition, the father's visual perception was affected
so that everything around him appeared to be black
- a frightening experience he believed to presage his
impending death.
Even though two family members (ages 12
and 18) consumed only small amounts of the
cooked mushrooms, the ensuing symptoms of
intoxication were no different from those observed
in family members who had eaten comparatively
larger portions. After several hours, the psychic and
perceptual disturbances subsided and finally
disappeared, without any lingering side effects.
Attempts to treat acute symptoms included
administration of emetics and fortifying tonics. In
the end, these potions were heralded as the crucial
treatment that "cured" the family.
For the most part it is extremely difficult, if
not impossible, to assemble complete and accurate
details on many aspects of magic mushroom history
from source materials available today. Thus, it is an
instance of rare good fortune and a boon to
mushroom historians that E. Brande's description of
a typical psilocybin syndrome was augmented by J.
Sowerby, author of "Coloured Figures of English
Fungi or Mushrooms" (London, 1803). Sowerby's
book included a rendition and description of the
mushroom species responsible for the poisoning
case described by Brande (see p. 17). Within the
context of Sowerby's book, only the variety of
mushrooms distinguished by their cone-shaped
caps were believed to cause intoxication. Figure
9 shows a typical rendition of Psilocybe
semilanceata. This mushroom species was
known to Sowerby's contemporaries as
"Agaricus glutinosus Curtis" and its descriptions
are fully compatible with current knowledge
about Psilocybe semilanceata.
A few years later, renowned Swedish
mycologist E. Fries referred to "Agaricus
semilanceatus" in his book entitled "Observationes
Mycologicae" (1818). Later on, the
same mushroom also appeared under the names
Coprinarius semilanceatus Fr. or Panaeolus
semilanceatus (Fr.) Lge. Not until 1870 did
Kummer and Quelet classify this mushroom as
a member of the genus Psilocybe.
Consequently, two valid designations may be
found in the literature:
-- Psilocybe semilanceata (Fr.) Kumm. or --
-- Psilocybe semilanceata (Fr.) Quel.
Around 1900, M. C. Cooke reported two or
three new instances of accidental mushroom
intoxication involving children in England.
Interestingly, Cooke noted that symptoms were
caused only by a variety of mushroom known to
turn blue (var. caerulescens). He
was the first mycologist to wonder if a bluing
variety of this species was poisonous, or if the
bluish color was induced by external factors,
causing changes in the mushroom's chemical
composition so as to render them poisonous.

potent for consciousness expansionspiritual progress. The gaining of greater energy and vibration
allows the smoker to then accomplish other spiritual feats, both internally and externally. They provide
the �basic building blocks� or MEANS by which other focuses can be manifest. All of this takes serious
inner work, just like any other spiritual path. Mailtraininghousevncom ile this is the exception, it
may well be a representation of the so-called
bluing phenomenon.
In Nature, these colors are associated
with the bluing Psilocybe and Panaeolus species.
These mushrooms could have grown on several
substrates, such as fallen twigs and raw compost,
grounds littered with the remains from evergreen
and deciduous trees or dung left behind by pasture
animals. Among the mushroom species that may
have grown in the area thousands of years ago, the
most likely candidates are relatives of Psilocybe
cubensis and Panaeolus cyanescens (dunginhabiting
species), Psilocybe semilanceata (a
nitrophilic species) as well as Psilocybe
cyanescens, a species that grows on top of raw
Considering the impressive nature of
existing historic evidence, the obvious question
would seem to be whether any of these species can
currently be found in Africa, where the cradle of
mankind is located.
African Species Related to
Psilocybe Cyanescens
Interestingly, on October 24, 1912, R.
Maire first collected several specimens of bluing,
dark-spored mushrooms which he found growing
on raw compost underneath some cedar trees in
Algeria, at Chrea Pass near the city of Blida south
of Algiers. He collected additional specimens every
year up until 1926 and published his findings in
1928, naming the species Hypholoma cyanescens
nov. spec..
Later on, G. Malencon classified a number
of similar specimens from his own samples
collected in the Central Atlas Mountains (Morocco)
as belonging to this species. In 1973, Singer then
classified the species as Psilocybe mairei Sing.
Krieglsteiner, however, considered this species to
be identical with Psilocybe cyanescens Wakefield,
as found in Europe. Thus, bluing Psilocybe species
can still be found in Africa today.
In his monograph on Panaeolus
mushrooms from the 1960's, Ola'h mentions two
Panaeolus species that are strongly psychoactive:
- Panaeolus africanus Ola'h and
- Panaeolus tropicales Ola'h
There are also accounts from Africa about
typical hallucinatory intoxications, caused by
mistaken identification of a yellow Stropharia
species as a culinary mushroom. In 1945, E.R.
Cullinan and D. Henry described 22 cases in
Nairobi, which occurred in July of that same year.
The symptoms started one hour after
ingestion of the mushrooms, peaked within three
hours and then persisted for 24 to 48 () hours.
Symptoms consisted of emotional imbalance, fits of
mirthful and irresponsible laughter alternating
with depressive moods, during which patients felt
they wanted to die. Patients were unable to sleep,
due to nightmarish feelings that descended when
they closed their eyes... They remained conscious
throughout the experience and their speech, while
somewhat uncontrolled, was rational.
In 1957, A.D. Charters reported additional
cases of intoxication from Nairobi: On May 18,
1949, a man and his wife - both Europeans who
resided in Nakuru, ate generous portio mushroom spores mushroom

mail grupototal.com.br
, this "fool's mushroom" was documented in
Slovakia as well. In addition, the mushroom found
its way into the verses of Polish poet Vaclav
Potocki (1625-1699), who refers to its potential of
"causing foolishness much like opium does ".
Similarly, in England, John Parkinson's
"Theatricum Botanicum" (1640) includes
mail mail.mlr.gov.cn loc:NL details
about a 'foolish mushroom ".
The Austrian colloquial expression "He
ate those madness-inducing mushrooms" refers to
states of mental confusion.
Historic source materials such as these
are scarce and widely scattered. Undoubtedly, they
refer to psychotropic mushrooms, but lack
sufficient information to permit clear identification
of a specific species. However, considering the
habitats and occurrence of Psilocybe semilanceata
and Psilocybe bohemica, these two species are
among the most likely candidates (see page 16 ff.).
It is remarkable that these historic portrayals
revolve around just one aspect of the mushrooms'
overall effects: the occasional semi-schizophrenic
reaction which can at times be quite dramatic.

appreciation of mushrooms in the tradition of the

Between Reverence and Fear
By contrast, in Europe we find that the
symptoms of mushroom intoxication have always
been compared to symptoms of mental illness.
Such cross-cultural differences in value judgments
can be explained in terms of two concepts
introduced by R.G. Wasson and his wife:
mycophilia and mycophobia. This distinction subdivides
cultures with different traditional attitudes
towards mushrooms into two groups. For instance,
an entrenched dislike for mushrooms (mycophobia)
in Britain indicates traditional beliefs vastly
different from those found in Slavic countries,
where mushrooms are generally cherished
(mycophilia). The origins and evolution of such
diverging attitudes remain lost in the shadows of
The development of early cultural taboos
and prohibitions against psychotropic mushrooms
may be the root cause of enduring mycophobic
behavior. On the other hand, it is possible that,
thousands of years ago, the process of harvesting
mushrooms as a food source caused alarming
clusters of regionally isolated cases of fatal
mushroom poisonings. Such experiences may well
have seeded a potent and lasting aversion towards
an entire country's mycoflora.
Similarly, the mycophilia typical of
ancient Mexican cultures goes hand in hand with a
general social acceptance of the effects of
Psilocybe mushrooms and their established SPORES SPORES
PORCINI ritual
usages. Among Mexican Indian tribes, the effects
of psilocybin have never been causally linked to
any type of known mental illness. It is interesting
to note that the Indians of Mexico were the only
Indians in the Americas who also harvested a large
number of mushroom species for food.
Unfortunately, our current socio-political
climate is - strongly biased against newly

ered hallucinogens, which are often defined
in terms of negatively loaded labels. Even worse,
such prejudicial thinking distorts an objective,
scientifically neutral approach to the study of these
substances. The label "fool's mushroom" first
appeared during the 1930s, along with "Mexican
mushroom of insanity". In the 1950s, the Central
American mushroom cults were discovered and the
mushrooms themselves were renamed "Mexican
magic mushrooms", in recognition of their
psychotropic effects and to emphasize the
significance of the mushrooms' early integration
into the social fabric of the cultures that cherished
Later on, the relatively neutral label
"hallucinogenic mushroom" came into use in the
mycological literature. Other designations that
gained and lost popularity over time include the
somewhat derogatory term "intoxicating
mushrooms" and the essentially meaningless "drug
Scientifically Unbiased Hallucinations
Following his experiments with magic
mushrooms in Mexico during the summer of 1960,
T. Leary returned to Harvard University and began
to study psilocybin as a variable in the
administration of standard psychological test
batteries. His initial focus was diluted when he
continued to expand his experiments to include
increasingly broader settings and applications. In
reaction to Leary's markedly unorthodox
approach, the American press began to portray
psilocybin mushrooms in terms of slanderous
terminology that far exceeded the negative
connotations of labels such as "fool's mushrooms".
Descriptions of the mushrooms' effects included
claims that users experienced "death-like states".
Proponents of psilocybin research were
accused of denying that the alkaloid caused "semipermanent
brain damage". This pseudo-scientific
jumble of meaningless jargon was symptomatic of
the sharply escalating controversy surrounding
hallucinogenic substances. Increasingly, news
reports on psilocybin were eclipsed by massive
amounts of publicity about LSD - the most potent
hallucinogen ever discovered. The subsequent
frenzy of legislative attempts to control LSD
resulted in ever tighter restrictions on the scientific
study of not only LSD, but psilocybin as well.
Mind-altering substances were no longer thought
of in terms of their specific effects and properties,
but rather were lumped together into a single
group of dangerous chemicals. As antidrug
hysteria continued to intensify, scientific and
pharmacological distinctions became all but
irrelevant: hallucinogens were no longer viewed as
different from other classes of dangerous and
physically addictive drugs, such as heroin or the
opiates. This demonization of hallucinogens was
successful in spite of massive research efforts that
began when Sandoz Pharmaceuticals decided to
distribute psilocybin to qualified scientists for
experimental and psychotherapeutic purposes. By

Cowan, Clarke hit centuries to save Australia
BRISBANE (Reuters) - Ed Cowan scored his first test century and Michael Clarke his 20th in a fourth-wicket partnership of 259 to steer Australia to safety at 306 for four at tea on the fourth day of the first test on Monday.
Cowan departed for 136 in heartbreaking fashion just before the break, run out at the non-striker's end when Dale Steyn got a finger to a Clarke drive and the opener was caught out of his crease backing up.
Australia had resumed on 111-3, 339 behind South Africa's first innings tally of 450, with the tourists keen to get a couple of early wickets to try and force a result in a test which lost an entire day to rain on Friday.
Cowan and his captain Clarke, who was 126 not out at tea, batted with great maturity to dig their country out of a hole, even if the much vaunted South African bowlers failed to get much out of a flat track.
Their partnership was an Australian record for the fourth wicket at the Gabba, beating the 245 Clarke and Mike Hussey made against Sri Lanka in 2007.
Hussey, who had scored one after replacing Cowan at the crease, was set to reprise the partnership with Clarke after tea.
Left-hander Cowan had brought up his fourth test half century with a single to square leg off the third ball of the day and survived a nervous couple of overs in the 90s to go into lunch two runs short of his hundred.
In the second over after resumption, however, the 30-year-old pulled a short Vernon Philander delivery for four to the square leg boundary, beginning his joyous celebrations before the ball hit the rope.
The hundred came from 185 deliveries with 14 fours and was a retort to those critics who have consistently questioned his place in the team since he made his debut in last year's Melbourne test against India.
Clarke, who came to the crease on Sunday with Australia reeling at 40-3, had the first of a string of uncomfortable moments immediately after reaching his 23rd test 50.
Miscuing a pull shot off debutant Rory Kleinveldt, he was mighty relieved when the consequent edge looped over the head of fielder Philander.
Clarke's negotiation of the "nervous nineties" was even more fraught than Cowan's and he was nearly run out going for a second run that would have brought him to the hundred mark.
He survived the scare, however, and a single behind point soon afterwards saw him whip off his helmet to kiss the badge in celebration of a fine innings.
The hundred came in 210 balls with 12 fours and was the 31-year-old's sixth since he took over from Ricky Ponting as test captain after last year's World Cup.
Cowan, meanwhile, had survived a run out scare of his own when he was on 106 before South Africa spurned an even better chance to send him packing when he was on 123.
The Australian skied a hook shot towards long leg and Dale Steyn called for it but was distracted by the approaching Jacques Rudolph and dropped the ball, again depriving Kleinveldt of his maiden test wicket.
South Africa's number one test ranking is on the line in the series, which continues with matches in Adelaide and Perth after Brisbane.

The couple split last month but both the singer and the model were spotted wearing their rings weeks after they separated.
Seal also confessed he had no intention of taking his band off because he considered it "a token of how I feel about this woman" and the gesture prompted many to think the couple's split would not be permanent.
However, Seal has now been spotted without his ring in Australia, where he is on tour.

Miffed at the growing proximity between the JD(U) and the Congress, the BJP on Thursday alleged that the ruling party at the Centre is trying to divert attention from its failures by talking about secularism.
The 17-year-old alliance between BJP and JD(U) was not lucky to survive this time three years after a huge row triggered by Narendra Modi media advertisments in Bihar pushed the NDA partners to brink of collapse.
With the JD(U) deciding to walk out of the NDA alliance, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has reiterated that it always wanted the association to remain intact.
Putting an end to all the speculations, the Janata Dal (United) on Sunday finally announced that they have decided to walk out of the NDA, and that there would not be any alliance with the BJP in the Bihar government.

Maritime security services provider, Solace Global Maritime Ltd, has been awarded the ISO 14001:2004 accreditation for its success in implementing an effective environmental policy throughout the company.
The internationally accepted standard awarded by ISOQAR provides a set of strict criteria for putting in place a successful Environmental Management System that helps to reduce a company's impact on the environment.
Solace recognises that collectively, organisations within the maritime security sector have a significant impact to the environment and have therefore worked tirelessly to establish and manage tools to help measure its waste output and carbon emissions.
Managing Director, David Peach, commented: "Being compliant with all industry standards is of vital importance to Solace and helps to ensure that we are able to provide the best service to our clients by carefully considering and evaluating the ways in which we conduct business."
Tony Hanson, Solace's QSHE Manager, added: "Our BS EN ISO14001 certification provides us with the stamp of approval for our hard work and demonstrates that we are serious about our environment and our future. As environmental challenges present themselves, our new environmental management system will help us to put in place objectives and actions needed to overcome them."
This latest addition to Solace's compliance portfolio follows successful certification to OHSAS 18001 and BS EN ISO 9001.
Solace Global Maritime is keen to work with industry organisations and professionals to improve maritime security standards and promote high levels of competence. It is for this reason that Mr Hanson is involved with established working groups on the new PAS 28007 due in November 2012, which aims to help develop international Procedures for Private Maritime Security Companies.

MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday the Ukrainian government was taking orders from extremists and denied Moscow had any direct role in the crisis in Crimea.
"The interim government... is not independent. It depends, unfortunately, on radical nationalists who carried out an armed coup," Lavrov told a news conference in Moscow.

It follows complaints about remarks by a member of the Co Kildare-based 'rebel band' The Druids during the community festival in north Belfast last month.
The singer was filmed telling British soldiers and their "Orange comrades" to go back "to England".
Officers had previously said the incident had been fully and thoroughly investigated and evidence was presented to the PPS, but no further action was to be taken.
But in a statement on Friday, Chief Superintendent Nigel Grimshaw confirmed: "Police are going through the formal process of submitting the file of evidence previously discussed with the Public Prosecution Service when pre-prosecutorial advice was originally sought."
The development has been welcomed by unionist politicians, who have previously criticised the PPS over its handling of this case.
However the UUP's Tom Elliott said he still has concerns.
"We are not yet convinced that the druids could not be charged under existing Northern Ireland legislation and welcome the police decision to submit a complete file for a formal charging decision by the DPP," a statement from the MLA for Fermanagh and South Tyrone explained. "To take no action sends a message to homophobes, racists and bigots that it's okay to preach hate in Northern Ireland."

When asked why she chose baking instead of cooking, Elissa says that she loves the preciseness of baking. She also has a hard time resisting sweets (we hear her on that one!).
Elissa had a passion and brought it to life, working hard to get her internship at Seastar, where she has had the opportunity to bake cookies for the chefs. Her blog is a way of getting her name out there and sharing her baking experiences. In between writing (which she's obviously good at!), photography and baking, Elissa said her dream job is to be a freelance writer for a newspaper, magazine or a food magazine. Her dedication and commitment will get her there in no time.

Thanks for standing up for what you believe in! I think it's sad that so many people are so against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. What has the Church ever done to hurt them? Can't we just let everyone worship how they want and focus on what we have in common?
[1] April 28, 2014 at 4:04pm
interesting…I read the comments on the article mentioned, and almost all of them were calling out Glenn Beck for HIS behavior towards Bundy…He obviously didn't even watch the whole video of Bundy's remarks. Almost all of the comments on the article were in support of Bundy and against Beck, but in THIS article, they are trying to make it look the opposite. People are fed up with Beck acting like a liberal. If he wants to keep his audience, he needs to apologize to Bundy.

My parents wouldn't let us believe in Santa Claus. I always felt sad about this as a child. I heard my friends talking about Santa and how excited they were, but I always felt left out. If you think your child will wonder if Jesus Christ is real because you also tell him there's a Santa Claus, then (in my opinion) you aren't talking about Christ enough. My family goes to Church and learns about God and Christ. We pray to God in Christ's name. We do not go to Church to learn about Santa Claus, and we don't pray to him. Of course, if the only time you talk about Christ and go to church is at Christmas time, then your kid might be confused when they find out the truth about Santa..

"He was obsessed with details of other shootings". How did he know all the details of shootings? Because of all the media hype after every shooting (for example, articles like THIS one). I think that, after every shooting, news sites and papers should post no pictures of the shooter. There should be hardly any information about the shooter. Talk more about the victims instead. I believe the crazy criminals who commit these crimes are partly doing it to get their five minutes of fame, and we need to stop giving it to them.

Did you know that the Polar ice caps actually hit a 35-year record high this year? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2415191/And-global-COOLING-Return-Arctic-ice-cap-grows-29-year.html
"Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world."
Guess this is why their calling it "Climate change" now instead of "global warming". My grandma says that she remembers them warning about global cooling back in the day. The climate naturally changes, they're just using it as a political tool and ignoring the facts.

I had a similar experience. I was breastfeeding my six-month old, and when I got a jury duty notice, I was sure they would let me get out of it. So I told them I would be happy to in a few months, when my baby was weaned. They denied my request. I hope this lady gets the charges thrown out! She is just trying to take care of her baby.

RNM: some of the problems I have with Common Core: First, privacy concerns with the student tracking database http://michellemalkin.com/2013/03/08/rotten-to-the-core-the-feds-invasive-student-tracking-database/ "These systems will aggregate massive amounts of personal data — health-care histories, income information, religious affiliations, voting status and even blood types and homework completion. The data will be available to a wide variety of public agencies. "
Another problem is that they are trying to indoctrinate our kids. Textbooks are being re-written, for example http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/09/17/publisher-of-ap-history-book-containing-questionable-second-amendment-summary-has-direct-ties-to-common-core-and-theres-more/
also, look into the books that are recommended for students by Common Core. PLEASE look at this link; even though schools can decide which books they will use, do you REALLY want people who would recommend these kinds of books to be in charge of your kid's education in ANY way? I don't! http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/sexually-explicit-book-pulled-from-arizona-common-core-approved-reading-list/
Finally, Common Core is Unconstitutional. The Common Core is also a violation of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA) which forbids the federal government from meddling in the state's education programs. http://www.thebrennerbrief.com/2013/06/03/common-core-based-on-un-education-program-and-agenda-21/

Personally, I would have been more impressed if she broke stereotypes by not only being different, but choosing to dress differently—in a one piece swimming suit. It's okay to dress modestly! I don't like it that women in these contests have to flaunt their bodies. It makes women seem more like sex objects instead of intelligent human beings. Reminds me of this talk on this link (which has gone viral): http://www.qideas.org/video/the-evolution-of-the-swimsuit.aspx

I believe this missionary was saying that what God has in store for him is to give him more time to serve others. That's what missionaries do—serve others. Every time the missionaries visit my home, they always ask if there's any service they can do—pulling weeds, cleaning, or anything we need. They are great, loving people.

Watch Live: Norwich City vs. Manchester United (Lineups and Discuss)
Dec 28, 2013, 9:18 AM EST
Norwich City host Manchester United at Carrow Road (watch live, 10am ET, on NBC Sports Live Extra) with the Canaries being sucked back into the relegation battle and United surging.
David Moyes' side have won five in a row in all competitions and will be full of confidence after a stunning comeback win vs. Hull City — trailing 2-0 after 15 minutes the Red Devils won 3-2 — put them back in the race for the top four.
While Norwich lost to struggling Fulham on Boxing Day, as Chris Hughton's side are perilously close to the drop zone. But they do have a good home record in the PL against United, winning two of the three times they've hosted them.
In team news, Norwich make three changes as Russell Martin and Ryan Bennett come in at the back for Steven Whittaker and the suspended Michael Turner. Wes Hoolahan replaces Johan Elmander in attack.
Moyes is without Wayne Rooney, as the England international forward hasn't traveled to Norfolk. United make five changes in total as Rooney is replaced by Javier Hernandez up front, Rafael drops out for Nemanja Vidic, while Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs and Shinji Kagawa come in for Antonio Valencia, Darren Fletcher and Danny Welbeck.
Norwich City: Ruddy; Martin, R Bennett, Bassong, Olsson; Fer, Johnson; Snodgrass, Hoolahan, Redmond; Hooper. Subs: Bunn, Whittaker, van Wolfswinkel, Elmander, Garrido, Becchio, Josh Murphy
Manchester United: De Gea, Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Young, Cleverley, Carrick, Giggs, Kagawa, Hernandez. Subs: Lindegaard, Anderson, Welbeck, Fabio, Fletcher, Zaha, Januzaj

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – It's become a pattern Westchester County residents have become unhappily familiar with – and it will be happening once again in the next 24 hours.
After a cold, sunny day on Monday with highs between 30 and 32 degrees, another snowstorm is expected to arrive overnight.
The quick-moving system is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of snow accumulation inland and 1 to 2 inches along the coast, which could see a mix of rain and snow, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow should begin sometime after 3 a.m. Tuesday and continue until around noontime Tuesday.
Temperatures should continue to climb Tuesday afternoon, to a high between 38 and 40 degrees, signaling the start of a welcomed warming trend.
The outlook for Wednesday calls for a chance of rain and snow showers before 10 a.m., then a chance of rain showers with a high between 45 and 47 degrees.
By Friday, the temperature could reach or surpass 50 degrees.

Louisville, Kent...
This was my first attempt at a button-down shirt, or a top of any kind, really. For this project I snatched a Martha Stewart Living flat sheet from my parents' guest room linen closet when I was housesitting (they didn't mind). I thought the vertical pattern would be well-suited for shirting fabric.
I used New Look 6963, view C. It was a great pattern on which to practice buttonholes and collars. I only struggled with the back facing and some understitching issues. The shirt's a bit boxy, so I only plan to wear it tucked in with higher-waisted skirts.

A History of the First World War in 100 moments: Sarajevo, 28 June 1914 and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand that started it all
How do you remember a war that destroyed four empires, killed 18 million people and left tens of millions of other lives irreparably broken? Today, as the world prepares to mark the centenary of a conflict that left no corner of the planet untouched, we begin a unique daily series that attempts to make sense of an incomprehensibly huge chapter in human history by distilling it to a mere 100 'moments': episodes, big or small, that in one way or another capture a sense of what it was like to be caught up in the catastrophe of the First World War. Boyd Tonkin introduces our first moment
Boyd Tonkin
Boyd Tonkin is Literary Editor at The Independent. An award-winning journalist, he was formerly Social Policy Editor of the New Statesman and has broadcast extensively for BBC arts and current affairs programmes. He has judged the Booker Prize, the Whitbread biography award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the David Cohen Prize for a lifetime's achievement in literature.
Thursday 03 April 2014
By around 10.30am, the panic had already subsided. Yes, it had been a vicious and unsettling terror attack. As the six-car motorcade rolled along Appel Quay, beside the river Miljacka in the heart of Sarajevo, someone had thrown a small bomb. It bounced off the car, a handsome Gräf & Stift Double Phaeton, carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his Czech wife Sophie Chotek, the Duchess of Hohenberg but not – thanks to the snobbish protocols of the Vienna court – formally the Archduchess. The bomb exploded under the vehicle behind. It inflicted injuries, the worst a heavily bleeding head wound to Colonel Erik von Merizzi – adjutant to the governor of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Oskar Potiorek.
Nedeljko Cabrinovic, the teenage Serbian militant who had thrown the device, swallowed his dose of cyanide and jumped off a bridge. The low-grade toxin merely scoured his throat, and he landed on a sandbank left by the shrunken summer flow. He was arrested and led away proclaiming "I am a Serbian hero!" Elsewhere, unknown to the royal couple and their minders, assailant after assailant from two separate terror cells had given up and melted away. Muhamed Mehmedbasic had failed to launch his bomb. Paralysed with fear, Cvjetko Popovic had hidden his in a basement. Trifko Grabez quit his position and was engulfed in the milling crowds. Vaso Cubrilovic "felt sorry" for the duchess when he saw her in the open car, and would not draw his gun.
No one had died. In this province, the authorities expected spectacular stunts by Serbian radicals enraged by the official annexation in 1908 of Bosnia – already occupied for 30 years – into the Austro-Hungarian empire. In 1910, Bogdan Zerajic, of the Young Bosnia movement, had emptied a pistol at the then governor as the Bosnian parliament opened. All the bullets missed save the last, aimed at himself – for suicide attacks had lately come into vogue. What made today's incident, on the warm Sunday morning of 28 June 1914, more troubling was the security bungle that had left the royal couple's protection detail stranded at the railway station. Still, the hothead extremists represented no one but themselves. At dinner the previous evening at the Hotel Bosna in the nearby spa of Ilidze, Sophie had told a Bosnian Croat leader that "wherever we have gone, people have treated us with so much friendliness – down to the last Serb, too".
On with the show – although Franz Ferdinand was visibly rattled. At Sarajevo town hall, the mayor, Fehim Curcic, embarked on his flowery, and unamended, speech of welcome. At this point, the Archduke's pent-up fears exploded. He butted in: "I come here as your guest and you people greet me with bombs!" Soon he regained his composure. In a gracious reply, he mentioned the population's pleasure in "the failure of the assassination attempt". Inside the town hall, Sophie went off for a meeting with Muslim ladies (Bosnia was more Muslim than Serb), segregated so that they could remove their veils with her. She told them that she missed her children. Now it was time to resume the programme.
Potiorek advised a swift exit from the city but the couple insisted on a detour to hospital to visit the casualties. No one had informed the driver. When he turned down Franz Joseph Street, Potiorek instructed him to return to the quay. The Gräf & Stift had no reverse gear; it had to be pushed. Beside the stationary car, by a fluke, stood another young Serbian revolutionary called Gavrilo Princip. Rather than flee, he had kept his ground along the advertised royal route. Princip fumbled with his bomb but failed to detonate it. Instead, from five feet away, he fired two shots. Sophie was hit in the stomach; Franz Ferdinand in the neck. Both bullet wounds proved fatal. As he tried to staunch the blood, Count Harrach heard the Archduke say, "Sophie, Sophie, don't die – stay alive for our children." Just after 11am, both were dead.

After a beating by furious bystanders, Princip was taken into custody. As minors, none of the Belgrade-based trio tasked with the assassination was subject to the death penalty under the empire's law. Princip received a 20-year sentence and died in 1918 of consumption, exacerbated by grim conditions, in the military jail at Theresienstadt. Other, adult, conspirators did later hang.
A second cell, made up of local Serbs, had been put in place as one of several distractions to blur the conspiracy's chain of command. Students enraptured by the romance of the Serbian struggle against the Habsburg yoke, Princip, Cabrinovic and Grabez had pored over the preparations for this high-impact assassination. Independent Serbia – to its friends a brave powerhouse of Slavic identity; to its foes a rogue state that sponsored indiscriminate terror – had emerged the biggest winner from the two bloody Balkan wars of 1912-1913. Its territory had expanded, mostly at the expense of the Ottoman empire. Yet Bosnia remained under the Viennese boot. That it held more Muslims and Catholics than Orthodox Serbs hardly troubled "irredentist" nationalists who believed that "where a Serb lives, there is Serbia".
Princip and his co-conspirators belonged to "Unity or Death!", a remarkably open "secret" society with contacts at the top of the Belgrade government. Most people knew the group by a more colourful name: the Black Hand. Via the intermediary Milan Ciganovic, the trio reported to a Black Hand chieftain, Voja Tankosic. Behind him stood one of Europe's most formidable secret agents, the head of Serbian military intelligence: Colonel Dragutin Dimitrijevic, known as "Apis" after the Egyptian bull god. Apis often acted alone, though not unobserved. Nikola Pasic, the Serbian Prime Minister and a wily survivor, both used him and feared him. Only schoolchildren and saloon-bar chatterers any longer seek one-word replies to the question, "Who caused the First World War?" If that inquiry had an answer, then –although only in a deeply myopic perspective – one non-trivial response might be: "Apis".
In the days after 28 June, opinions as to the gravity of the outrage varied. Although the Vienna press fulminated about this "blow of fate", in Paris, St Petersburg, London and Berlin it looked more like a grotesque but routine Balkan atrocity. Besides, no one beyond his family seems to have liked the heir to the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy very much. The author Arthur Schnitzler referred to his "appalling unpopularity" in a diary entry on the day of the killings. Vienna politician Josef Redlich reported the next day that "there is no sense of grief" in the city. Most accounts of the assassination as a world-historic turning-point date from much later – by the great nostalgist Stefan Zweig, for instance, whose memoirs lament "the shot that in a single second was to shatter the world of security and creative reason". At the time, the many enemies of Austria rejoiced, often with unseemly glee. "Grazie Serbia!" piped up one Italian newspaper. More fool them – but not yet.
In his heavy-handed way, the peace-loving Franz Ferdinand had envisioned the reform of the creaking dual monarchy into a multi-ethnic commonwealth, a United States of Greater Austria made up of 15 equal peoples. He hated the idea of even a regional conflict. Against Vienna belligerents such as the army chief Baron Conrad von Hötzendorf, he vociferously backed alternatives to military entanglements in the Balkans or beyond. In October 1912, as the first Balkan campaign threatened to suck in Austria, the Archduke warned the Foreign Minister, Count Leopold Berchtold, about the dangers of entering the "witches' kitchen of war".

Even after his murder, that witches' kitchen felt more like myth than fact. Europe, after all, had weathered some storms over the past few years. Both Balkan wars had almost dragged in other powers, most nearly during the "winter crisis" of 1912-1913. Then, a fresh-minted pro-Serbian policy in Russia took the Foreign Minister, Sergei Sazonov, to the brink of mobilisation. In 1911, the Agadir incident, when Germany sent a warship to Morocco as a riposte to French claims of sole control, had tested the limits of British support for France under the Entente Cordiale of 1904. It resulted in a few scary weeks.
Agadir ended in November 1911, with the usual imperialists' carve-up. In December 1913, Russia unsheathed its diplomatic sabres again when General Otto Liman von Sanders took command of a Turkish army corps in Constantinople. But the Ottoman navy already employed a British admiral, Arthur Limpus. Neither France nor Britain felt very much alarmed. Europe in 1914 was a multi-polar system in which five big powers not only played chess with one another but simultaneously within their own rivalrous cabinets and chancelleries. It expected to witness sporadic flare-ups. These were controlled explosions.
Thousands of books have sought to explain how a nasty local outrage in Sarajevo – albeit one engineered by a hostile state – led to the end of the world. For the world of 1914 did end during the four succeeding years and their decades-long aftermath. Some 10 million combatants died, and at least eight million civilians. The wounded, a huge proportion disabled for life, numbered more than 21 million. Four empires succumbed immediately – the Russian, Austrian, German and Ottoman. After a delusionary bounce of post-war acquisitions, two more expired of their wounds later: the French and British. Without the Great War, and its botched outcomes, the Second World War is inconceivable. By some lights, the "short 20th century" that began with the guns of August 1914 only closed with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Look at Ukraine, and Crimea today, and it would not be absurd to hear the echo of those weapons – and of Princip's .38 revolver on the corner of Franz Joseph Street.
Hindsight makes sages of us all. But no one in Europe on 28 June 1914 was in possession of a working crystal ball. For all the "future war" genre of speculative fiction during the Edwardian years – such as Erskine Childers' bestseller The Riddle of the Sands in 1903 – sober heads proclaimed that globalised commerce and a mesh of close alliances made general conflict unthinkable. In his peace-mongering tract of 1909, The Great Illusion, Norman Angell had mocked big-power war as a futile throwback.
Shortly before Sarajevo, many prudent observers thought that Europe had begun to go off the boil. In Britain, the apparently anti- German – more strictly, pro-Entente – policies of the Foreign Secretary, Sir Edward Grey, had come under withering criticism by a doveish majority within his Liberal Party. Inflammatory Anglo-German "press wars" had ceased by 1912. The mandarin policy-maker Arthur Nicolson wrote in May 1914 that "since I have been at the Foreign Office I have not seen such calm waters". Yet, five weeks after 28 June, Europe was at war.
The "July Crisis" of 1914 remains arguably the most complex sequence of events in all European history. Still, not a single word of its script was written in advance. Luckily, we can now trace that chain – or rather cluster – of occurrences armed with one of the greatest of those long shelves of explanatory books: Christopher Clark's masterpiece, The Sleepwalkers. As Clark makes clear, every deed – or refusal to act – counted. "Short-term, contingent realignments" shifted rapidly across an "opaque and unpredictable" system. The many later "narratives of inevitability" substitute consoling fiction for messy truth. They mean that "contingency, chance and agency are squeezed out of the field of vision".
Focus on selected moments, as The Independent's new series does, and that "agency" returns to centre stage. Each choice and chance genuinely mattered, although none made a decisive difference in itself. Its agents, like its millions of victims, lived the First World War not as a vast span or grand plan but day by day, crisis by crisis, shock by shock. Spotlight key events and we may, just for a while, glimpse that lost world before hindsight. By 24 July, after Austria had drawn up an ultimatum to Serbia, the British Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith, could indeed tell his confidante Venetia Stanley in one of his intimate letters that "We are within measurable or imaginable distance of a real Armageddon". Then he consoles himself, and her. "Happily, there seems to be no reason why we should be anything more than spectators."
