Newt charms Yellow dogs of Mississippi
Article Abstract:
Newt Gingrich, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, acknowledges that it is in his own interests that the Republican party makes every effort to gain stronger support in the South, which has traditionally been dominated by the Democratic party. If the Republicans lose control of the House of Representatives, he would not wish to run for minority leader. He has had a strong influence on US politics over recent years, and now wishes to secure his own political future as well as that of the Republican party.

Betty Shabazz
Article Abstract:
Civil rights activist Betty Shabazz will be most widely remembered for being the wife of Malcolm X, even though she was influential in her own right. She joined the Nation of Islam in 1956, and married Malcolm X in 1958. She tried to rebuild an ordinary life after he was killed in 1965, but continued to be associated with the Nation of Islam. She died in a fire which it is believed was set by her grandson, ironically also called Malcolm.

The tendency to moralise, the appetite for trash
Article Abstract:
Media coverage of the trial of O.J. Simpson has been extravagent and at times excessive. The trial has been treated as a television soap opera, demonstrating the power of television in American society. The trial has certainly shown ordinary people technical details about the country's legal system, but in the end became a media bonanza in which a truly fair verdict was impossible.
