In the spring of 1978 I was an assistant U.S. attorney in Miami, Florida, when I received a telephone call from G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), asking me if I would come to Washington, D.C. to help him with the public hearings the committee was about to hold on the Kennedy assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

There are buildings that loom as large as in our imaginations as they do on the skyline. For Bryan O’Sullivan, The Barbican has been that landmark. “Ever since I was a student I’ve been obsessed,” the designer says of the London icon: a cluster of Brutalist beauties by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon that date to the 1960s and ’70s. Visible from far and wide, its three towers transfixed the budding aesthete when he first moved to the city from Ireland.

Cordyceps Mushroom to The RescueAs a biohacker (health optimizer and experimenter), I am always looking for methods to improve my neurological and biological state. One afternoon while browsing the internet I came across a YouTube video by 'The Bioneer'. He gave a presentation on cordyceps and explained the science-backed benefits that supplementing could give to the user. The presentation stated that cordyceps were shown in studies to do the following:1.

I'm looking forward to striking a couple of late carnival blows on Saturday. It's the last day of the carnival which has flown by this year – I must be getting old. The results have been mixed this year. I've ridden my share of winners but there's been a few near misses. Just quickly, a word on Anamoe last week. He was brave but with the conditions the way they were he just found a couple better on the day. Dubai Honour was awesome, but my bloke ran his heart out as he always does.

The Sydney weather has done it again. Everything was looking good up until last Saturday morning, 10mm of rain later, the track goes from a good (4) to a heavy (8) and we've had more rain since. After riding on it last week I can't see the track being any better than genuine heavy conditions on Saturday. I need those Weather Gods to start shining some sunshine down on us and if they do it might get back to a soft (7). It is what it is; that's Randwick.

I'm back from a break, the batteries are fully charged and can't wait to get into it on Saturday. I played a bit of golf in my time off, hit them ok and to use a golf term – Saturday is moving day at Randwick. The opening day of The Championships, it doesn't get much bigger and you'd go a long way to find a better race card with so much depth in all 10 races. There are about 170 acceptors which is huge.

This Saturday's going to be different – I'm not a good spectator. A suspension last Saturday has me sidelined this week. My pre-game leading into the weekend will be a couple of rounds of golf and then on the lounge Saturday afternoon. I'm not a good couch jockey, I'll be on the edge of the seat watching the horses intently that I'm hoping to get back on for their following runs. Jockey fatigue is the hot topic in racing so I wanted to talk about it this week.
