Flight of the world's great dictators

Article Abstract:

A number of former dictators have been able to life a comfortable life in exile. Indeed, some have even managed to live in considerable luxury, despite having been responsible for the deaths of many people. Idi Amin Dada of Uganda, for example, was provided with a house and an income in Saudi Arabia, while former Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam is living in Zimbabwe at the taxpayer's expense. However, other dictators have been less fortunate. These include Jean-Claude Duvalier, who is moving from apartment to apartment among the exiled Haitian community in France.

Feminists: Their True Story

Article Abstract:

Lancaster University was the venue for 200 women and 12 men attending a conference about romance. Romantic fiction and romance in real life are still enjoyed despite feminism. Romantic fiction provides emotion. Speakers felt romance should be taken more seriously than previously. A study of relationship breakdowns found an increasing number of women divorcing and not getting married. Women find that men do not respond emotionally.

Across the peace line: a tale of two families

Article Abstract:

The years of conflict in Northern Ireland have affected almost every family. Some have lost relatives or friends in bombings, while others have lost homes and jobs. After six months of ceasefire, they are now feeling more positive about the future. They do not fear that they could become the next innocent victim of the fighting, and are starting to mix more with people from other communities.
