You can't bank on bluffness, Ken
Article Abstract:
Chancellor Kenneth Clarke is taking a risky course in disagreeing with Eddie George, the governor of the Bank of England, about the need to increase interest rates. If he is successful in asserting his authority, the government's image will be improved, but if he is not, a sterling crisis could develop. The political aspect of this issue is more important than the economic one, as it will indicate whether the government is powerful enough to publicly disagree with the Bank of England.

Galileo, Copernicus - and now Dolly!
Article Abstract:
The cloning of a sheep at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a significant for the modern world as events such as the Copernican revolution and the splitting of the atom were in their time. It is inevitable that developments in cloning will lead to the cloning of humans, even though many concerns have been raised about the ethical aspects of this practice. It is vital that consideration is given as soon as possible to the likely consequences of the cloning of humans.

How I would tackle the new rabble
Article Abstract:
Illegitimacy is becoming a disruptive force in modern society, leaving many children to grow up without the stability provided by a father figure, according to US right-wing intellectual Charles Murray. He believes that welfare payments should no longer be paid to single mothers, which would provide a strong disincentive for single women not to have children. As society becomes more complicated, those with lower IQ levels are going to find it much harder to cope.
