Words on the wise from Isaiah Berlin
Article Abstract:
Isaiah Berlin's writings on the nature of political philosophy are distinguished by their distinct and personal style, which places him at the forefront of eminent historians of modern thought. He connects the views of thinkers with their social and family backgrounds. Berlin analyzes the positive and negative points of his subjects without any qualms and this approach imparts life to the subjects and their ideas. 'Karl Marx,' a biography, and 'The Hedgehog and the Fox,' on Leo Tolstoy's political philosophy in 'War and Peace,' are some of Berlin's distinguished works.

Meet the locals
Article Abstract:
Local building societies often offer better mortgage and savings deals than larger, national organisations. A survey has shown that the local societies offer an interest rate of about 0.3% more than national societies. The best deal on instant deposit and withdrawal accounts is from Stroud and Swindon, which is paying 6%.. Newbury and Portman building societies offer 5.5%. However, some local societies insist on deposits of 500 pounds sterling or more to open an account.
