Would I lie to you?

Article Abstract:

The CIA is losing many of its younger female employees, especially its case officers, or spies, as they grow increasingly concerned about the intimate nature of the lie detector tests which they must undergo regularly. Many women are leaving the employment of the CIA as they cannot face being questioned in great detail about their sex lives. This is creating negative publicity for the CIA, which has been told that it must increase its recruitment of women by 30% in each of the next five years.

No polka-dot ribbons please, we're British

Article Abstract:

Shopping in top stores in the US and Japan always seem to be a very special occasion, with purchases always being attractively gift-wrapped. This is not the case in the UK, where the purchase is not given any particular attention. The British do not see shopping as a celebration of self as other nationalities do, and tend to endure it rather than enjoy it.
