Edward de Bono obituary
Author, doctor and inventor of the term lateral thinking who wrote more than 60 books on his original and unorthodox theories The thinker and writer Edward de Bono, who has died aged 88, once suggested that the Arab-Israeli conflict might be solved with Marmite. During a 1999 lecture to Foreign Office officials, the originator of the term lateral thinking argued that the yeast extract, though proverbially socially divisive, could do what politicians and diplomats had failed for years to achieve. The problem, as he saw it, was that people in the Middle East eat unleavened bread and so lack zinc, which makes them irritable and belligerent. Feeding them Marmite, therefore, would help create peace. Through his 60-plus books, including The Mechanism of Mind (1969), Six Thinking Hats (1985), How to Have A Beautiful Mind (2004) and Think! Before It’s Too Late (2009), as well as seminars, training courses and a BBC television series, De Bono sought to free us from the tyranny of logic through creative thinking. “What happened was, 2,400 years ago, the Greek Gang of Three, by whom I mean Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, started to think based on analysis, judgment and knowledge,” he said. “At the same time, church people, who ran the schools and universities, wanted logic to prove the heretics wrong. As a result, design and perceptual thinking was never developed.” Continue reading...

French Open 2021 semi-finals: Krejcikova v Sakkari, Pavlyuchenkova beats Zidansek – live!
* Game-by-game Roland Garros updates from 2pm BST * Sakkari stuns champion Swiatek to reach last four * Britain’s Joe Salisbury claims mixed doubles title with Krawczyk * Email michael.butler@theguardian.com | Tweet @michaelbutler18 4.46pm BST FIRST SET: KREJCIKOVA 2-3 SAKKARI* (*DENOTES NEXT SERVER) Second serve is looking very shaky for Krejcikova, who is basically tossing the ball up for Sakkari at this point. At 15-30 down, Sakkari hits a particularly tame serve right back past Krejcikova for a clean winner. But Sakkari wastes two chances to break once more, putting two in the net. Krejcikova serves an ace, and although Sakkari questions the call, the umpire rules in the Czech’s favour, which Sakkari accepts, and after a couple of exchanged points, Krejcikova holds her serve for the first time. It wasn’t pretty, but she got the job done. 4.39pm BST FIRST SET: KREJCIKOVA* 1-3 SAKKARI (*DENOTES NEXT SERVER) A lot of supporters are making their way into the court at the first changeover, so a bit of a delay. Sakkari gets the first hold to lead 3-1, the pick of the shots coming to go 40-30 up with a gorgeous forehand down the line, with Sakkari at full sprint. The Greek really is a bundle of energy.
