When the sun don't shine

I had originally planned to watch today's total solar eclipse from the comfort one of Ghana's beautiful beaches, writes Sarah Left. But in the end it seemed churlish to deny the county's less-than-captivating capital city the few minutes during which it actually had a tourist attraction.

Leading question

It is possible that some of you, at one time or another, may have disagreed with the Guardian's carefully-considered leader columns. These articles - called editorials in the US - appear without a byline, and are set out as the opinion of the paper as a whole. Clearly, not every individual in an organisation will agree with a given article - but it is leaders that give a paper its voice.
