The Adnerving Case of De Vaux

In this regard, Anson Vaux rightly says that Eastwood has American history at the back of his mind. Vaux, who has been living in Syria and Cairo for eight years having twice reneged on his promises to MI6, finds himself in trouble when his old friend and protector Kadri falls out of favor with the Syrian regime, newly inherited by Hafez's son, Bashar Assad. Implicit here, though Vaux does not so claim, is the story of Job.

It seemed to de Vaux that the non-biblical scrolls provided the kernel of an answer: they described the rules and beliefs of a religious community, ascetic in its practices, and understood to live outside the mainstream. The literary promenade such as La Fontaine Songe de Vaux and Scudery's Promenade de Versailles are used to stress the comfort and innovation of Vaux, a place perceived as more humane and sometimes more civilized than the overly structured palace of Versailles with its formal, yet confusing landscape.

Mr Vaux of Queen Street, Pontypool, said he had planned to fly directly from Caernarfon Airport to their home base at Shobdon near Hereford. Asked by North-West Wales coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones what Mr Vaux should have done, Mr Conradi said, "He should have navigated around the low cloud. Maj Gen Vaux, now 70, commanded 42 Commando when he co-ordinated two crucial actions in the Falklands in 1982 - the taking of Mount Kent and attack on Mount Harriet. Olmsted and Vaux dedicated their lives to creating urban forests like Prospect Park. 

Lord Brougham and Vaux CBE presents David Parkes of Turbine Blading Ltd with a commendation in the manufacturing industry sector. Unfortunately, de Vaux died in 1971 without having published the full reports of his excavations. Among historians of American landscape architecture, a war rages between those who believe Calvert Vaux has the true claim on these parks' authorship, and those who promote Olmsted.
