In the week that saw the grim landmark of the hundredth soldier in Afghanistan to be killed this year, we look at the power of listing fallen soldiers' names. Hugh Sykes joins us from Haifa in Israel, a town where it really is the holiday season: he's been to a festival celebrating Christmas, Eid and Hanukkah. Nigel Wrench hears from the new generation of female playwrights, and at the Wimbledon Park Golf Club, golf lovers give us their views on the ongoing travails of Tiger Woods. The papers are reviewed by weather god Michael Fish, inventor Trevor Baylis and Sunday Express columnist Julia Hartley-Brewer.
