Light at the end of bureaucratic tunnel
Article Abstract:
The Single Market accelerates the intention of the Treaty of Rome for freedom of movement of goods, services, labour and capital. Physical, technical and fiscal barriers have been removed. However, Europe will not become a single market in the same way as the US because direct taxation differences limit companies and language, family and cultural linkages limit migration. The Cecchini Report showed that the UK will be a below-average gainer. The consumer will be the main beneficiary.

Light from the Square
Article Abstract:
UK soap opera 'EastEnders' currently has a storyline which shows a young man who suffers delusions and is eventually diagnosed as schizophrenic. The producers of the series are playing a very valuable role in bringing schizophrenia to the attention of the general public. The National Schizophrenia Fellowship reports that it has received many telephone calls directly as a result of 'EastEnders,' and hopes that the image of schizophrenia will now become more positive.

Not bathing but drowning in a sea of light
Article Abstract:
There are no planning restrictions on exterior urban lighting, but it affects social amenities, wastes energy and can be a public nuisance. Artificial light obscures stars as it pollutes the atmosphere. Sky glow has increased since 1983 as there is more decorative floodlighting, security and road lighting. Well-designed urban lighting can be attractive and prevent crime. Poor specifications and old-fashioned design principles are the main problem.
