Behave, or you'll be sent to Stroud
Article Abstract:
The Roman Catholic Church in the UK uses a house near Stroud, England, occupied by the Servants of the Paraclete as a re-education centre for gay clergy who lead an active sex life. The establishment, known as Our Lady of Victory, seems to be merely a conference centre or educational institute, but the regime there is extremely strict. Those attending the centre are interviewed by priests and psychologists, and may be required to live there for a considerable length of time. There is evidence that some residents have suffered psychic damage and emotional trauma as a result of their experiences there.

Sent outside for the night
Article Abstract:
Jeremy Dickson Paxman, 41, has built himself a reputation for being a fearsome television interviewer of politicians and many of them, including Kenneth Clarke, Gerald Kaufman and Lord Young, have complained about their treatment at his hands. In 1987 John Birt, deputy director general of the British Broadcasting Corporation, chastised him, together with Sue Lawley and David Dimbleby, for being too aggressive in his interviews. Paxman considers himself to be an intellectual and cynical observer of humanity. He is urbane, arrogant and laid back both on and off screen.

Would you be sent to Coventry for a really good job?
Article Abstract:
It is common for students at UK universities and colleges to seek employment close to where they are studying or where they were brought up. In many cases, they are not really prepared to consider applying for a job somewhere a long way away. This trend is set to continue as students face growing financial pressures and may even live at home while studying. Students often develop a strong emotional attachment to the place where they studied, but may find that this changes if they remain there after graduation.
