2. Clive James has confessed feeling embarrassment over being alive one year after predicting his imminent death from terminal leukaemia.
In a piece published in The Guardian, James reflects on a poem he wrote for the New Yorker last year titled Japanese Maple, in which he stated, confidently, that he would be dead before the maple tree in his garden lost its leaves in autumn.
But now he says he fears he has “written himself into a corner”.
“Winter arrived, there has been a whole other summer, and now the maple is just starting to do its flaming thing all over again, with me shyly watching,” he writes.
The 76-year-old author is writing a weekly column for the newspaper on living with leukaemia.

3. Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric who has President Donald Trump’s ear, told CNBC on Wednesday that an impeachment would crush the stock market.
“An impeachment proceeding would blow the market away,” Welch said on “Squawk Box.”
Welch also said Trump’s firing of James Comey as FBI director was a “rookie mistake.” He added, “You don’t make any friends doing it the way [Trump] did it.”
“I think without question we have a guy that’s on the right agenda with crappy management practices,” Welch said, giving the president a “D minus” on his management skills.
